Huy Health Hond-s and Christmas Seals.?A. Douglaa McArn, l'reaident of the Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association. From Miss Kimbrell Since coming into your county as Executive Secretary of tho Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association, which is uffllialod with the Statq Tuberculosis Association, 1 have met with a moat cordial reception in my work from all agencies, both white and colored. Tho cooperation of the i'hyslcians, Masons, Rod Cross, Junior Welfare League. Social Welfare Workers in Government Relief Work, Barents, Teachers, Pupils, Trustees, the Press and Individuals have been most helpful. 1 wish to stress the thorough spirit of neighborllness which bus been shown since I have been making a survey of the county. Wherever there bus been signs of suspicions of infections of the "White I'lague" 1 have found a most profound neighborlineBs throughout the county to protect others against the spread of this I disease. As a result of my efforts which has carried me into all sections of Kershaw county I respectfully ask to submit a partial report of tho work that I have accomplished during my three months stay in this county. Number while children and adults tuberculin tested, TOO; Number of reactors in this group, t>8; Number colored children and adults tuberculin tested. 807; Number of reactors in this group, 1T>0; Number tluroscopic examinations given, It); Number X-ray examinations, 00; Number cases of tuberculosis now known, 111); Number cases found during campaign, 18; Number homes instructed in health education, 200. It the people of Kershaw county want, this most merciful work carried on which helps people who are unable to help themselves they will buy liberally of the Health Bonds and Christmas SealH it wilh continue. Otherwise the good beginning will go for naught.? tSigned) Mary Kimbrell. Benefits Of Campaign In any undertaking or enterprise it is splendid business to ask what will be the cost involved and what benefits or protlt will result. The amount of money secured from the sale of Christmas Seals and Health Bonds in was |5f>0.00, or a per capita cost of 1 1-2 cents for the population oi ! Kershaw couTtty. The amount requested in the 1925 drive is or an aveiage of 0 1-4 cents per individual. This is the price of a_ cheap cigur. or a cold drink'or many other articles which any bod> could easily afford to sacrifice just unco in a year. in l'Jii-t funds was used to put on I an intensive program tor n three! months period in the fight against tu-j hereulosis itt JvkNiaw county. t his j program consisted chiefly in locating! new cases by a specially trained work-' er. The line of procedure was to give! about 1,500 high school children, both, white and colored, the tuberculin skin1 test, then by noting the positive re action, the source of contact could usually be traced. In this manner, several new, as well sh old oases, received personal visits where Instructions, both oral and printed were given. These Instructions Included i advice as to the personal care of the patient and as to the method and means of prevention of the spread of the diseaae to other members of the family. No doubt, as a result of only three months of work, the number of deaths in Kershaw county from tuberculoma will be reduced from the appalling number of 35 for the next Jour. Therefore, it may euaily be aoen that a twelve month olTort would bo rewarded with much more gratifying roHultn and any sound thinking person should contribute liberally and also encourage others to do likewise. Generally speaking the public are to, a certain degree "tuberculosis-minded," as is shown by tho vast numbor. or requests coming from almost every section of the county. These requests vury In many particulars, yet the end sought is to help control and prevent the dreaded disease. Much time and money is spent unnually against typhoid fever and small pox, both of which have ceased .to bo a major public health problem, yet only a few paltry dollars are available to light a menace that takes more lives between ages 18 to 45 than any other contagious disease. Let us all wake up to the seriousness of the situation and assume our share of the responsibility in the joint effort to change this state of affairs.? A. VV. Humphries, Md. From Mr. Goodyear Keulizing the seriousness of the great "White Plague," which is so prevalent in our county and state we the teachers of Kershaw county, should feel a dlroct responsibility in the anti tuberculosis campaign that is being made at this time. 1 feel that we are directly connected and associated with more homes than any other organizations In the county and therefore, should take a very active part in making this drive a successtul one. When we realize that we have been at least in part, responsible for a special nurse in this county to put over the Job by tho sule or Christmas Seals and that those funds will have been expended in early* December, which necessarily means that her services will be discontinued unless additional funds are raised. We should be spurred cm all the more in order that this work may be a permanent part of the health unit of Kershaw county. -It seems'that we might reach almost 100 per cent participation In iliis campaign, by both teachers and pupils before our Christmas holiday season begins. Let's encourage whatever contributions that may be made, whether it be largo or small. livery health agency or organization always comes to our rescue when called upon. Shall wo not conxe to the rescue of our school children and their families??C. P. Goodyear, President Kershaw County Educational Association. Medical Society Endorses The physicians of Kershaw county. being mindful of the welfare of the public, gladly endorse tho movement now in progress for the sale of Christmas Seals and Health Bonds. The funds thus secured will bo used to carry on the tight against tuberculosis among our people. It would be difficult to think of a more worthy cause to sponsor and It Is well within the line of service to urge that even one contribute liberally during this campaign. Medical science has not attained the zenith of its ambition, that of discovering a cure for the disease and since the control and prevention of it depeuds entirely on education of tho public, this program should bo fully encouraged by every one lor the common good. In reftltty the physician is the guardian of the health of every individual In the community. exerting daily thought and efforts -along thst line. The opponunity now presents itself for the public to assist themsolves as a group by contributing toward the anti-tuberculosis fund. Buy Christmas Seals and Health Bonds.?Dr. E. Z. Truesdaie, Md.

Long, well known resident of Kershaw, died at his residence Wednesday night following a long illness. He had suffered a number of paralytic strokes previous to his death so that he had been incapacitated for some time. His wife preceded him in death about two years ago. For a number of years Mr. Long had been engaged in farming In the Pleasant lain section and funeral services were held from the Pleasant Plain Baptist church Thursday afternoon.

The funds derived from this source are used not only to relieve the suffering of those already afflicted but to prevent those who may be exposed from contracting tho disease and to educate them in the kind or living that will enable them to throw off- these insidious germs. It Is everyone's duty to support this cause not only from a humanitarian standpoint but from a more selfish motive, that of protecting yourself as well as society in general from this plague of mankind.?J. H. OBborne. Mayor of Camden, S. C. From Mrs..Watts 1 There was a time when the Three Ii'a met every requirement for a good school, and there was little need for community problems, but the march of civilization, the great increase in world population and the many phases' of closer human contacts have made It necesHary for the present day school not only to emphasize the Three R's, but to develop a program of health, citizenship, and the many other attitudes of right living. Of all these the most important and most essential, is a Health Program for every child, every school and every community. Well people are happy, efficient and contented people. A nation will beas strong us its people are well and strong and thuy It is most fitting that at this time we are invited to parttctpate in a nation wide campaign, which alius to teach our children Lo be a good neighbor and that they will have an opportunity to share whatever they may huvo with some ono else less fortunate- and that the bright little ( hristmas Seal carries a promise that their own health will be safeguarded as well as the neighbors.

The robber told her she needn't raise her hands. Then he took us to an office and locked us up. In a minute, the Janitor came up stairs and he also was locked in the office. "Then the robber took us lrom the office und the second one came in the bank. They argued over whether to lock us in the vault and finally they did. "Mr. Brannon came in about a minute after the two robbers bad gone and unlocked the vault." Steadman said one of the men was a "nice-looking fellow but the other seemed a typical tough." Two children ate Ice cream at a school supper near Fort Scott, Ark., and died. Seventeen others were made sick.

When' one sportsman complained about not being able to catch any bass, this remark greeted him: "No wonder you can't catch 'em when he's in my trap." An active game and fish chapter of organized sportsmen certainly helps the county have better enforcement of. game laws. Good gamewardens have their backing too, hundreds strong.
