Approves Budget Totaling $14,648 Greenwood — Directors of the Laurens and the Greenwood Tu berculosis Associations adopted a $14,648 budget and okayed a multi-pointed long-range pro gram of work for a combined as sociation here Tuesday night. . The directors also heard the proposed constitution and by laws of the Tuberculosis and Health Association of. Green- wood-Laurens counties, but left its adoption to the first annual joint meeting of the two associa tions here Jan. 30. As Laurens TB Association President, G. N. Foy put it as he presided over the 20 persons pres ent, the two associations have “clasped hands in the middle of the Saluda River.” The river di vides the counties. If the constitution is passed by the annual meeting, the new as sociation will become effectivs April 1. Program will be carried out jointly, under direction of four officers, seven other mem bers <rf the executive committee and a 48-member board of direc tors. ' The budget, as presented by Claude A. Crocker, of Clinton, is slightly higher than the combined budgets of the two associations for this year. The Greenwood budget at present is about $260 more than the Laurens budget. CALLED FIRST MOVE . One of the points of the budget is the allocation, when possible, of part of the interest from Christmas seal campaign funds which are deposited in savings accounts would go each year to establishment of a chair (depart ment) of chest diseases at the South, Carolina Medical College. It would be the first move in t h a t direction, Mrs. Agnes Teague, executive secretary of the Laurehs and, this year, the Greenwood Associations, said. Fifty per cent of the budget will go to health education and 10 per cent each to administra tion, case finding, rehabilitation and the seal campaign. Receipts of the 1961 seal cam paign in each county are about even, it was reported, with Laur ens County lacking only about $90 of reaching last year's total of $7,966 through Monday. The Greenwood campaign, up until two weeks ago when last totaled, had brought in $7,924, lacking about $1,600 of last year’s receipts. A number of other con tributions have been received, however, and will be tabulated Thursday. Mrs. Joe Seal, of Greenwood, reported that the 1962 seal cam paign should reach at least 25 per cent of the two-county popu lation, and Mrs. V. W. Hayes re ported on the annual meeting Jan. 30 at the Greenwood Amer ican Legion Home. T. I. Dowling, president of the Greenwood Association, welcom ed the group, which included Miss Ann Goff of the State TB Association, Mrs. D. O. Rhame of Clinton presented the consti tution.

Thou knowest What it is. For it we pray’ Prayer is more than saying prayers; it is the deepest desire of the heart. In order to have spiritual life and energy, we must have constant contact with our heavenly Father. A natural place to do this daily is in the home - Acceptance of God’s love can cast out fear, thus dissolving our inner anxieties and delivering us from other pressures. True prayer gives us the fearlessness that brings rightness and brightness to the heart. What we are looking for—the sense of God’s presence—was beautifully described many years ago when Jesus said, simply, “I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.” . prater : O God, our Father, help us to walk with wisdom this day, looking unto Jesus. May His light be our guide, and His love be dur strength and inspiration. This we ask in Us name. Amen. . ’ - .. - THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ;r , By prayer, faith is strengthened, hope renewed, love rekindled, life reborn. ~ 1 Lydia Mowatt (Ontario) PUBLIC RECORDS IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET IBB NEWS PHONE 8SS4M1 The following public records were filed the past week in the office of the Clerk of Court of Laurens County.
