4 Biennial Report for 1938-39—1939-40
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
His Excellency
Gov. Clyde R. Hoey
Raleigh, N. C.
Sir:
I have the honor to transmit herewith the report of the
Superintendent of Operations of the North Carolina Sanatorium
and Western North Carolina Sanatorium for the Treatment of
Tuberculosis for the biennium ending June 30, 1940, together
with report on the status of the proposed Eastern Carolina San-
atorium to be located at Wilson, N. C.
We are happy to call attention to a decrease in the death
rate from tuberculosis in the State during the past year but
desire to again emphasize the need for adequate facilities for
the prevention and cure of this scourge. The work of early
diagnosis has been expanded and we are indebted to the private
physicians, the health and welfare officers, and the school
authorities for their splendid cooperation. The facilities for
the care and treatment of patients have been enlarged through
the completion of units at both institutions.
We have not been able to successfully work out an arrange-
ment for Federal participation to the required extent of forty-
five per cent for the construction of the Sanatorium at Wilson
and we respectfully urge that the coming General Assembly
make immediately available an additional sum adequate to
construct an Eastern North Carolina Sanatorium to meet the
great need of this section of the State.
On behalf of the Board I desire to express to the Superin-
tendent and his staff at both institutions our thanks for and
appreciation of the splendid manner in which they have per-
formed their respective duties.
The members of the Board have been diligent and interested
in the fulfillment of their responsibilities and I desire to express
to them my profound appreciation of their interest in and
attention to the work in which we are all engaged.
Respectfully submitted,
L. Lee Gravely,
Chairman, Board of Directors.
Western N. C. Sanatorium and N. C. Sanatorium 5
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
The Board of Directors of the North Carolina Sanatorium
and of the Western North Carolina Sanatorium,
Mr. L. L. Gravely, Chairman.
Gentlemen :
Herewith is submitted the report of the North Carolina
Sanatorium and of the Western North Carolina Sanatorium
for the biennium ending June 30, 1940.
Separate statistical and financial reports are made of the
North Carolina Sanatorium with its white, children, Negro and
prison divisions and its extension department, and of the West-
ern North Carolina Sanatorium, which is under the capable
direction of the associate superintendent and medical director,
Dr. S. M. Bittinger.
There has been a still further reduction in the tuberculosis
mortality rate during the biennium. In 1937 the mortality rate
from tuberculosis in North Carolina was 54.8 per 100,000, and
in 1939 it was 51. Although North Carolina is a tuberculosis
resort state and although the state has a 30%. Negro popula-
tion, in which the death rate is more than three times that of
the white, the tuberculosis mortality rate for North Carolina was
only 4.4 per 100,000 higher than the average for the United
State.
Experience has shown that the control of tuberculosis
depends first on early diagnosis and second on isolation and
treatment of the active cases.
EARLY DIAGNOSIS
At both the North Carolina Sanatorium and the Western
North Carolina Sanatorium diagnostic clinics are conducted
daily except Sunday, and the extension department of the
North Carolina Sanatorium keeps three clinic physicians in
the field who work in cooperation with private physicians and
with county, health, school and welfare authorities. Since school
children under twelve years of age rarely have active tubercu-
losis, we have been limiting our school clinics to pupils twelve
years of age and over and to those under twelve who have
suspicious symptoms and to those who have been exposed to
6 Biennial Report for 1938-39—1939-40
known cases of active tuberculosis. The study of school and
college students is made by giving the tuberculin test and by
making X-ray films of the positive reactors. In recent years we
have been able to get a number of the county health officers
to give the tuberculin test themselves. Of the 121,911 school
children and teachers studied during the biennium health offi-
cers gave the tuberculin tests to 87,145. We send our X-ray
technicians from the North Carolina Sanatorium to make the
X-ray films. They are brought back to the sanatorium for
development and are read by our clinic physicians.
We use portable fluoroscopes in our adult clinics, and we
find that practically all cases of tuberculosis, even those in the
early, curable and non-contagious stage, can be detected by
means of the fluoroscope. It is necessary to have only the
suspicious and positive cases X-rayed, usually not more than
one out of every ten or twelve examined. We are greatly
pleased, too, that the State Board of Health has recently pro-
vided a number of the county health departments with modern
stationary fluoroscopes for use both in connection with their
chest and syphilitic clinics. We hope that arrangements can
be made whenever these fluoroscopes are provided for a weekly
tuberculosis clinic to be conducted by a local physician or by
the county health officer. We have offered to train physicians
in the use of the fluoroscope whenever it is not possible to
secure the services of an experienced fluoroscopist locally and
several have taken advantage of our offer.
The Rosenwald Fund, of which Dr. M. O. Bousfield is
medical director, has also offered to pay the salary of local
Negro physicians to conduct tuberculosis clinics twice a week
wherever a fluoroscope is available and provided the county
health department will sponsor the clinic. Durham county has
already arranged for such a clinic at Lincoln hospital to be
held one afternoon and one evening each week.
We have found the private physicians of the state, the county
health officers and the school and welfare authorities most
cooperative. The county health officers make the preliminary
arrangements for our field clinics and they do the follow-up
work. Private physicians have shown a readiness to avail them-
selves of the service which we provide for the interpretation
of chest X-ray films. During the biennium at the two institu-
tions physicians sent in 7,733 chest films for interpretation.
Western N. C. Sanatorium and N. C. Sanatorium 7
This has proven one of our most useful means of discovering
early cases of tuberculosis.
Recently equipment has been brought forward for making
miniature X-ray films of the chest. Both 4x5 inch and 35-
millimeter size films are being used. The procedure consists in
making a photograph of the fluoroscopic image of the chest,
and the films are called fluorographs. When the equipment is
improved and is produced in quantity it will mark a forward
step in tuberculosis control, for with one machine a thousand
or more X-ray films can be made a day at a small fraction of
the present cost per film. At present, however, the equipment
is too expensive and imperfectly developed to justify its purchase.
ADDITIONAL SANATORIUM BEDS FOR ISOLATION AND
TREATMENT
During the biennium there has been encouraging progress
in providing additional beds for the isolation and treatment of
active cases both by the state and the counties. During March
1939 the Gravely wing for patients and the nurses home at
the Western North Carolina Sanatorium, which were built with
PWA help, were dedicated with appropriate ceremonies and
with addresses by Mr. L. L. Gravely and by the Secretary of
State, Mr. Thad Eure. The Gravely wing is a duplicate of the
Rasberry wing and brings the total capacity of the Western
North Carolina Sanatorium to 330. The new wing at the Negro
division of the North Carolina Sanatorium for 100 beds, also
built with PWA help, was opened last fall. During the biennium
eight of the counties in the state have either built new county
sanatoria or have added materially to their plants. A total of
226 beds have been added by counties during this two-year
period, 172 of which were for Negroes.
Since it is impossible for patients with advanced tubercu-
losis in a crowded home to keep from infecting the other mem-
bers of the family, it is very needful for all counties to have
institutions of their own to which they can send their tubercu-
lous patients who are not suitable for admission to the state
sanatoria, or for their suitable patients while they are waiting
for admission to the state institutions. Several of the other
counties are seriously considering building county sanatoria
in the near future.
8 Biennial Report for 1938-39—19:39-40
The three State Hospitals for the Insane have also improved
their facilities for caring for their tuberculous patients recently.
They now have a combined capacity of 300 beds for tubercu-
lous patients. With the 200 beds in private sanatoria North
Carolina now has altogether 2,346 beds for tuberculosis. This
is less than one and one-third beds per death. The National
Tuberculosis Association and the United States Public Health
Service have found that it is necessary to have at least two
beds per death in order to control tuberculosis in a given
community.
THE EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA SANATORIUM
During the 1939 session of the General Assembly, Senator
C. W. Spruill and Senator T. W. M. Long introduced a bill for
the establishment of the Eastern North Carolina Sanatorium
with immediate provision for 175 patients and an eventual
capacity of 350. With the valuable assistance of Hon. J. Melville
Broughton, Mr. L. L. Gravely, Mr. R. E. Finch, Mr. E. A.
Rasberry, Dr. Ralph McDonald and other loyal supporters the
bill passed both in the Senate and in the House with hardly
a dissenting vote. A provision was added, however, making the
$250,000 appropriation conditional on securing 45% of the con-
struction cost from the federal government. It was planned
to get help from the PWA, but shortly after the passage of
the bill PWA was discontinued. We then applied to the WPA
authorities to secure their assistance. Provision of a $52,000
limitation on the amount contributed by the federal government
for any one WPA project further complicated matters. The
state WPA authorities have been most cooperative, however.
They assisted us in arranging for five separate projects,
approved the temporary plans and authorized detailed plans
and specifications to be prepared. Mr. Walter W. Hook, our
architect, now has these ready for submission to the WPA
authorities. We trust that they will be approved and that work
on the new institution can be begun in the near future.
The bill also provided for the appointment of a site com-
mittee consisting of three members, all of whom should reside
in western North Carolina. Governor Hoey appointed Senator
Joe L. Blythe, of Charlotte, as chairman, Mr. Odus M. Mull,
of Shelby, as secretary, and Mr. L. L. Burgin, of Henderson-
ville, as the third member of the committee. It was gratifying
Western N. C. Sanatorium and N. C. Sanatorium 9
that almost every county in eastern North Carolina was anxious
to have the institution and offered one or more sites to the
committee. After visiting all sites offered, 100 or more alto-
gether, and after making return visits with the superintendent
of the sanatorium and the engineer of the Budget Bureau to
several of the more favorable sites, the committee selected the
site of 100 acres offered by Wilson. The site is located on a
beautiful slope on the road to Rocky Mount and bordering on
the city limits of Wilson. Public spirited citizens of Wilson
contributed $20,000 in cash for the purchase of the property
and we now have a title to the property. The board of directors
also secured an option on 24.8 additional acres adjoining the
eastern border of the property at the very reasonable price of
$150.00 per acre. This option expires December 31, 1941.
After the Eastern North Carolina Sanatorium is built with
its full quota of 350 beds, it is thought that it will probably not
be necessary to ask the state to provide any additional beds.
We will need, however, to continue to urge all counties either
to provide a sanatorium of their own, or to join with one or
more neighboring counties to provide an institution for their
patients who are not suitable for treatment in state sanatoria
until there are at least two beds per death.
TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES
Our training schools for both white and Negro nurses supply
a real need. There is a scarcity of nurses well-trained in
tuberculosis work, and our graduates are always in great
demand. Our training school for Negro nurses is one of only
three such schools in the United States. The arrangement which
we have had for some years for our white nurses to take their
third year of training at the Moore County Hospital at Pine-
hurst and our Negro nurses to take their third year at Lincoln
Hospital, Durham, continues to be quite satisfactory, and we
greatly appreciate the cooperation of the authorities at these
two hospitals. Miss Martha C. Newman, who had been our
capable superintendent of nurses for our white training school
for nine years, to our regret resigned last fall to go into private
nursing, but we were fortunate to secure in her place Miss
Eula Rackley, who has been serving most acceptably in her
stead. We are greatly pleased over the fine recovery which
Mrs. Carrie Broadfoot, our capable and long-time superin-
10 Biennial Report for 1938-39—1939-40
tendent of nurses at our Negro division, made from her serious
accident last summer.
Our institution and the anti-tuberculosis cause in the state
and nation sustained a great loss in the passing on last Janu-
ary 20th of Dr. M. L. Stevens, who had been a most active and
valuable member of our board since 1935. He was a member
of the building committee and chairman of the landscape com-
mittee of the Western North Carolina Sanatorium, and devoted
much time and thought to promoting the interests of both
sanatoria. He was a member of several of the more important
state and national medical societies, he was greatly interested
also in civic and religious affairs and was greatly beloved by
all who knew him.
DONATIONS
We are grateful to the many friends of both institutions
who have made generous donations of books, magazines, cloth-
ing, Christmas packages, and many other gifts. A list of these
will be found in the body of the report of each institution. We
are especially grateful to the Rosenwald Fund for paying the
salary of one of our Negro resident physicians at North Caro-
lina Sanatorium and to the Woman's Auxiliary of the Medical
Society of the State of North Carolina for providing a free
bed at the Western North Carolina Sanatorium in addition to
the bed which they have been paying for at the North Carolina
Sanatorium for many years. We wish also to make special
mention of the generosity of Mrs. F. S. Terry, of Black Moun-
tain, in providing a large amount of shrubbery and many valu-
able trees for the beautification of the grounds at our Western
North Carolina Sanatorium.
I wish to express to each member of the board my sincere
appreciation for your loyal and hearty support.
The various employees of both institutions have rendered
faithful and loyal service. I am grateful to them all and
especially to Dr. S. M. Bittinger, associate superintendent and
medical director at the Western North Carolina Sanatorium,
and to Dr. C. D. Thomas, assistant superintendent and associate
medical director at North Carolina Sanatorium.
Respectfully submitted,
P. P. McCain, Superintendent,
N. C. Saymtorium and Western N. C. Sanatorium
and Director, Exteyision Department.
