Philip Gadsden Hasell papers, 1914-1958.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47839666

Includes correspondence with former Citadel roommate and noted malariologist Theodore Brevard Hayne (1898-1930), of Congaree, S.C.; Hasell and Hayne collaborated on a malaria survey in Lake City, Fla., as employees of the Public Health Service in 1922. In Feb. 1939 Hasell was appointed Sanitary Engineer with the South Carolina Public Service Authority and was assigned to the Santee-Cooper power and navigation project. Among the records documenting his work on this project are three journals: 3 Jan. 1938-31 Aug. 1939; 1 Sept. 1939-29 Mar. 1940; and 1 Apr.-5 Dec. 1940, 24-26 Feb. 1941. Contains 463 manuscripts, 1930-1943, 1945; 226 photographs, ca. 1938-1942; 7 manuscript volumes, 1930, 1932, 1937-1941; 156 technical leaflets and other publications, 1914-1958, chiefly issued by the U.S. Public Health Service; while employed by the Public Service Authority, Hasell filed bi-monthly reports of activities; there are also progress reports of Dr. E.M. Rice, Director of the Health and Sanitation Division, and of E.T. Heyward who served as acting director after Rice left for military duty. Correspondence and reports reveal the complexity of Hasell's job as he was responsible for a number of different programs, even overseeing the division's fleet of cars and trucks; Hasell worked primarily in the areas around Pinopolis, Moncks Corner, and St. Stephen, S.C.; he spent the majority of his time collecting larvae, inspecting WPA camps, setting out mosquito traps, and working with local health departments and townspeople. Correspondence and reports cease at the end of 1943, shortly before Hasell left the project to begin training for malaria control work in the U.S. Army.
