Coming at the time -r of the drive for the sale of Christmas'Seafe, the public is given some facts which should put the Palmetto state direr' its qiiota of $65,000 with Httle effort "TMP selective draft left us," states Miss Blackburn, " with some definite facts that we have hitherto lacked and''opened up for us possibilities oi attaining some local statistics and using them to develop health consciousne&,Jin different communities. Out xnap shows ovier '900 men in this state turned' down for tuberculosis, wHc were, for the most part, ignorant dl their trouble." II "Some local boards," the report continues, "seem not to have turned down any tuberculosis men, while one . small town had as many as 17." Bs ?| cooperating with the Red Cross Home service and the state board, the Tuberculosis association tried to locate these men and get in personal touch wit^L them. Thirty of the men could not be located, five had died, 20 were persuaded to take sanitarium treatment and 75 made no changes. Ovei 100 are under nurses' supervision. 'Lack of accomodation for those affected is' shown by the state in the 'report that, "sinow'the government has taken back the tents given the state for a unit to be placed on the grounds ' ai the state sanitorium, we have losl oujr chance to get a vocational trainei in this camp, and we have, nowhere te put*the rejected men should they Wanl treatment. "Home^service workers, community workers, the tuberculosis nurse of th< state board and our local workers white and- colored, are our sole means - ** ? J. L' oi ionwing up mese ccises. "We have planned a suvey, om part of which is to deal with th< i homes of tuberculosis soldiers in om cojnnty," states Miss Blackburn, whc adds that the physfeian aiid nurse art ready. It is pointed out that, witl this start, it is hoped to next yeai have a county nurse. "In this pari ir:. ' - ?. I n SSl m hs SS^h ^i Hl|H H . vBS^KjSg Hm ^gBHa hHr VHHB HB?

With provision made for a negro : ward at the state sanitarium, strides > have been made in the negro work through the tuberculosis department ) of the state board of health-. "Up to > this time," the secretary advises, "the 1 only place to put them has been a small adjunct to the Sumter camp. To 1 help in the collecting: of a maintenance fund for the new ward, our as! sociation has offered our colored worker, Louise Holmes of Florence, who was engaged in the winter to help us with educational work among her own people.' ' The work among the children is an ' interesting part of the year's sumf ' - mary. It states: . "This being Children's year, we . bent every energy tc preventive work L among them. Our literature, charts ? and talks were followed up by organ' ized clubs, managed by teachers, with j the cooperation of parents and our association, which puts out the mas terial and keep records for the coni tests. In a campaign lasting since I January, in which we were financiali ly assisted by the Junior Red Cross, . we have organized over 27,000 child ren, about one-sixth of our school enrollment. About 10,000 have promised . to come in next fall. These clubs, eni dorsed by the state superintendent of ; education ^re functioning 4 4 couni ties of the state in spite of the fact 3 that we met with opposition so often t on account of influenza conditions. : The most encouraging thing was its > entrance into Winthrop Training t school, where so many teachers will become familiar with the system, me r Modern Health crusade is a definite ? program of education in hygiene and , sanitation in the public schools. It s 5 consists of a series of 11 health chores to be practiced daily by the i children in home and school.
