Roll up your sleeves, take off your coat and go after them harder than you ever have as the prizes do not care who gets them and neither do we, we would Just as soon you have any one you wish as anyone else in the campaign. Rumor* It is only natural that in a campaign like this with such valuable awards that unfounded rumors will crop out, In fact, we get them in every campaign and after having run them down we always find there lA absolutely nothing to them. As a rule they are started with a view of discouraging some energetic candidate whom they are really afraid of. Pay no attention to them and if you wish official information there is one place you can get it, the campaign department of The Chronicle. "I . I Mrs. W. D.

Getting Results In White Plague Drive For th?> last five week* a trained | worker from the State Tuberculosis Association has been laboring In Kershaw County In nri effort to locate active cases of tuberculosis. To date, nine public, schools have, been visited and ftll pupils above 12 years of age have received the tuberculin test. The number of positive reactors is about 2 |>er cent, of those I tested. Fifteen of these reactors have had I X-ray examinations and an effort is being made for the remaining ones to be so examined. Through the follow-up visits of some of these reactors several active cases have been located. These home visits have afforded opportunity for Instruction, tending to the control of the disease, and it is hoped that each family In the county having an active case will" receive such Instruction before the campaign Is completed. A most valuable contribution from an educational standpoint was made during the past week by a booth on the fair grounds. The new Instructive literature and information, so freely given "by the attending worker, should prove to be a* source of much educational value. This booth Was in the form of a well ventilated shack which Is to be used by a bed patient suffering with tuberculosis who Is now living In a very crowded home. This will relieve other mem bers of the family from direct exposure to the infection from the active cases, as well as afford comfortable quarters for the patient. The cost of construction of the shack is comparatively small and since more of them are needed, It would be a worthwhile project for any individual or organisation to sponsor.
