County's Residents Get Christmas Seals More than 13,800 Christmas Seal letters were mailed to famll ies throughout the county this week as the Laurens County Tu berculosis Association launched its annual tuberculosis fighting Christmas Seal campaign, ac cording to the 1961 seal cam paign co-chairmen, Jim Von Hoi len and Tommy Pigg. "We sincerely hope," they said, “that every family in the county will respond to the message in the letter accompanying seals On their responses to its message depends the chance of continuing Ihe battle against TB—a constant menace to every individual and home in the county. "Although much progress has been made against TB, it is far from being licked. We have 101 cases of tuberculosis under su pervision of the Health depart ment, so you can see that we have much more to do,” the chairmen emphasized. This year's four-panel seal, de signed by Colorado artist Heidi Brandt, illustrates one of the greatest joys a family has at Christmas time—being together. Each scene reflects the happiness and optimism of a family—moth er, father, grandparents and chil dren—together for the holiday season. “Money raised through the an nual TB campaign," said the chairmen,” is used to promote good health for all by fighting and preventing tuberculosis in our county.” “We have a long way to go be fore TB is wiped out,” Mr. Von Hollen added, “for last year more than two new cases of tuberculo sis were discovered for each day in South Carolina. Other volunteers serving with Mr. Von lioleln and Mr. Pigg in this year’s seal campaign are: Dr. John McSween, honorary chairman; committee chairmen: Mrs. George R. Blalock, Mrs. John T Young, Mrs. James Mac donald, Claude A. Crocker and Lewis Bagwell; community chairmen: T. J. Hollingsworth, W. K. Waits, Mrs. I^eroy Adams and the Clinton Jaycettes. "We urge you to use Christmas sals on all your cards, packages and letters,” Mr. Von Hollen add ed, “and hope that you will an swer your Christmas seal letter with a generous contribution."

Gray, librarian, said during Book Week it is ap propriate that emphasis be placed on careful handling and use of books. Circulation has been good on the books, but in cases de preciation was greater than it should be, she stated, due to some abuse. Mrs. Gray pointed out, “Parents should feel an obliga tion to teach children proper care and regard for these books and a sense of responsibility for returning them properly.
