V RED CROSS SEAL DAYS
SOOX BE HERE. |
?
Preparations are being made for
the observance of Red Cross Xmas
Scul Days on December 5th, 6th and
I 7th. ' The Day will be celebrated in
the schools throughout the state on
the 5thf in the synagogues on the 6th
and. in the churches on the 7th. Elaborate
programs are being planned for
all three days.
Frdmi the accomplishments of antituberculosis
workers made possible in
tbe past from the sale of Xmas Seals,
the future might well be judged. Phil
ip P. Jacobs, Assistant Secretary of
the National Association, states that
v" ~ '
$5,500,000 derived from the sale of
seals during; the past eleven years
. have been instrumental in providing
approximately $100,000,000 worth of
institutions used in fightihg tuberculosis
all over the country. "The annual
maintenance and up-keep
charges of these institutions," _ said
ftfr. Jacobs, "is more than $20,000,000.
Jliere is at least one hospital in nearly
every state and in some there are between
10 and 30. Other states are
building more rapidly, but there are
still one or two states in which there
&r^ no tuberculosis institutions.
We have used the funds from the
seal states to actually build hospitals.
But we have demonstrated the need
for them, and have taught the people
that to control tuberculosis, such j
Peaces must be provided out of the j
public funds." *
- " V I
South Carolina fortunately has seen ]
.the need of tuberculosis hospitals and
"has derived the benefits of its efforts
to control the spread of tuberculosis
and at the same time realizes that a
vest amount of work is yet to be done
before the White Plague is beaten. To
continue the fight until the enemy is
abolished the 6,500,000'seals will ask
to go forth on letters and parcels
throughout the State.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.
Eighty-Two Year Old Lady Picks Bale
of Cotton.
The Dispatch-News leams from a
thoroughly reliable source of a remarkable
feat accomplished during
the past cotton season by Miss M. E.
Amick, who,lives on Route 4, Chapin.
Despite the 82 years which have passed
over her head Miss Amick is still
active. Just to test her ability to
pick a bale of cotton she insisted that
the cotton picked by her should be
weighed separately. " In a short time
she had accomplished the remarkable
task of picking 1,500 pounds of cotton,
or enough to make her bale. She
is naturally quite proud of the record
she made. ,

the metropolitan dailies. . .
Taper consumption by the big city
dailies and magazines has been great
ly increased, Mr. Reavis said, by an
"extensive national advertising campaign
conducted to defeat the government
in collecting taxes." He urged
that the internal revenue bureau
investigate the returns of concerns
conducting the campaign to disclose
to what extent their excess profit tax
was reduced by the costs on the advertising.
