No Malaria Among
Jackson Military
Personnel
Not a single case of malaria has
been reported among military per
sonnel of the Jackson area to date,
Dr. Felix J. Underwood, State Health
Officer, announced today. “Impor
tance of this report is obvious,” Dr.
Underwood declared, “in view of the
fact that a diagnosis of malaria au
tomatically grounds a pilot for sixty
days.”
The State Board of Health and
county health departments backed by
the United State Public Health Ser
vice, are waging an intensive cam
paign to get the jump on malaria
in war areas, according to the
health officer. “Briefly, the plan is
based on control of adult mosquitoes
and mosquito breeding areas within
a mile radius of a militray cantone
ment,” said Dr. Underwood. “This
area is subdivided into zones, with
every Anopheles breeding place

Check is kept on mosquito infes

3y maintaining catching stations and
lipping stations; adult mosquitoes ta
ken form the catching stations indi
cate the prevalence of malaria mos
quitoes, samples of water from dip
ping stations tell where they are
breeding.
According to the health officer
there are 22 catching stations and
300 dipping stations in the Jackson
area alone. Each of these is visited
once a week.
The State Health
Officer Says:
Again Dr. Thomas Parran, Sur
geon-General of the United States,
makes an appeal for physical fitness
of civilian population. The purpose
of this campaign is to develop a
strong, vigorous, and courageous
people needed to endure a long, hard
war and the difficult readjustments
which will inevitably follow.
Since heart disease is the prime
killer of the nation, this crusade to
make us fit to fight stresses con
servation of heart energy of people
in middle life. In Mississippi, as in
the nation, heart disease ranks first
in causes of death; 3539 Mississip
pians died of this alment in 1941.
Using your head to conserve your
heart is a patriotic bid for physical
fitness. Here are a few suggestions
that will help ration heart energy:
Strive for a balanced plan of liv
ing with plenty of sleep (at least fif
ty hours a week) and recreation. Ex

strenuous enough to produce short
ness of breath, chest pains or undue
exhaustion.
Avoid exercise immediately after
a meal.
Learn to do things in a leisurely
fashion. Don’t hurry and push.
Cultivate and practice the art of
complete muscular relaxation.
Don't eat too much or in a hurry.
“Emote” less and think more.
The prevention of heart disease is
based on sound principles of well bal
anced living, with emphasis on mod
eration, equanimity and conservation
of energy through the middle and lat
er part of life.
