Aspart of the cancer surveys, roentgenogramsof
the chest on all of the population understudyare
scheduled every 2 to 3 years. Chest plates on some
100 people were made during the past 2 years.
Only 2 cases thought to be tuberculous were noted,
and these appeared to be old fibrotic inactive disease in older people. Otherwise evidence for pulmonary and cardiac diseases was minimal. Papanicolaou smears of the vaginal region were ob-
