Annual Roll Call
Will Begin Today
Mrs. I^?na B. Moss, field representative
of the American National Red
Cross, spent two days in Camden and
Kershaw county last week conferring
with the local Red Cross Chapter as
to the annual Red (Cross Roll Call,
which begins on Armistice Day and
ends Thanksgiving day each year, and
in making plans for the organization
of the Junior Red Cross in the schbols
of {lie county.
The demands now being made upon
the Red Cross as well as all other
charitable organizations, are greater
than at any time since the World
war. The fact that the Federal Government
has asked the Red Cross to
undertake the" distribution of eightyfive
million bushels of wheat and five
hundred thousand bales of cotton to
the needy and distressed of the nation,
has imposed upon the Red Cross
one of the largest relief tasks in history.
'No part of the wheat or cotton
may be used in defraying the administrative
costs of distribution, all of
which must be paid froip the treasury
of the Red Cross. In order to adequately
meet this responsibility which
has been plhced upon it, the Red
Cross must have increased revenues.
Only increased membership dues can
make this possible. Your help is
needed to make the annual Rolf Call
a success, thereby assuring continuation
of this relief program during
the coining year. Memberships will
be solicited during the R611 Call period,
but will you not help by handing
your membership to the office of the
Camden Chronicle?

He told of the sacrifices of the
men who fought for their flag; ten
ipillion of them gave up their lives
and twenty million were wounded,
and he hoped that such noble sacrifices
would mean "Peace on Earth"
among all nations and that there
would be no more wars.
There were no visiting Rotarians,
but six guest visitors: Rev. Francis
Craighill, the new Episcopal minister;
, Carl Rosborough and J. E. Robinson,
who were all called upon for short
speeches. Three nurses from the
Camden hospital, Misses Inabinet,
Hammond and McAtoer, were intro[
duced by Dr. Corb'ett. They are help;
ing with the hospital rnlly by sellt
ing tickets for the Camden-Barnwell

weeks hence R. B. Pitts will have
the program.

laundry was destroyed Sunday mornJng

Diphtheria Can *
Be Prevented
Recently there have been several
cases of diphtheria reported in Kershaw
county amonir both children and
adults. Had parents known or had
those who knew taken the precaution
of having; their children protected
against this preventable disease, these
cases would never have occurred.
A child enjoys a natural immunity
obtained from the mother until about
six months of age. From that time
until it is about six years of age it
itP very susceptible to diphtheria.
After that age it again begins to acquire
a natural immunity or protection
through its own folood stream
cells or anti-bodies. About 8*3 per
cent of all cases of -diphtheria occur
between the ages of two and ftvo
years inclusive and it is tho child at
this ago tlyit it is so very important
to protect. This can bo done by tho
administering of two or three doses ^
of Toxoid or toxin-antitoxin at a cost
of.twenty-five cents per case. When
a child is exposed to a known caso
of diphtheria and is given1 a doso of
anti-toxin it is protected for only
throe or four weeks, therefore let
not the parents be deceived in thinking
that tho child is protected for a
longer period such as it would bo >
^otherwise. .
Since anyone at any and all ^times
may .be diphtheria carriers and infect
children with whom they come in contact
there is little, hope of ever completely
eradicating the disease unless
every child is inoculated by the time
it is one year of age. It is hoped
thatrn&very parent will take heed to
this suggestion and? help protect their
children and destroy this - malady
which takes its annual toll of little
lives and causes such an unnecessary
amount of suffering and anxiety, advises
A. W. Humphries, M. D., director
of the Kershaw County Health Jfypartment.
