WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSA? It is generally estimated that on account of prolonged contact with a person suffering from tuberculosis, there are ten active cases existing for each death which occurs from the disi-a.se if this he true, then there are approximately one hundred cases in Kershaw county of which only about twenty.five* are definitely known to those who are vitally Interested in locating them all. Should you know or su-pt-i i that one is so unfortunate a* to In suffering from this dreadful malady you would render a two-fold serviie in making it known to the proje-r authorities, since such would he of untold benefit both to the patient a nil to those who come in contact with him or her. The group who would appreciate this information is comprised of the physician, the County Health unit and the Kershaw County I uhereulosis Association, and they are also anxious to be placed in a position whereby they can render worthwhile service along several lines. In fort u irately, the Ideal situation cannot tie had, that of removing the patient from the home to an institution, consequently control of the spread of the disease in most instances must depend upon instructions as to proper care In the home. At present. thorn is a worker In the county furnished by tin- Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association who wllj welcome (ails and Interviews alongMhis line at any time. |( j<< everyone's privilege to contact Mrs Alma ScheV" lenherg and take advnntage of the opportunity thus afforded of aiding in the work against the disease which ilaitus more victims between the ages 1 -'?nd i.'- than any other. The program now on foot is progressing very nicch > et without whole hearted rwRponsn nnd cooperation on the part of everyone much effort will have been in vain, therefore let everyone inform himself and become active in a movement which will help the entiro county Seen t.iry of State Hull pledged- a?

In tho election of Tuesday, twentyfour Democratic governors were elected. and two others hold good leads over Republican opponents. Help Us to Help Others i RED CROSS AID TO MOBE THAN 500,000 DISASTER VICTIMS Large Urban Areas Devastated As Elements Hit 20 States East of Mississippi i "The number of disaster victims assisted by the Ited Cross during the fiscal year ended June 30, was more than four times the number aided In the previous twelve month period," Admiral Cary T Grayson, chairman, said in commenting on highlights of the annual report Just issued. "Over 131,000 families wire given food, clothing, shelter and medical care, and thousands of homes were rebuilt or repaired oy the Red Cross'to enable theni to carry on." Pointing to the many-sided problems created by the wide variety of types of disasters which occurred during the year, Admiral Grayson said. "The Red Cross sent hundreds of trained workers into 39 states to meet the many exigencies of catastrophe? which Included earthquake, epidemic, explosion, fire, hurricane, ice lock, landslide, refugee relief, shipwreck, tornado and typhoon. The Red Cross took charge at the scenes of 105 domestic disasters of major seventy." The report emphasized the marked value of Government-Red Cross cooperation when disaster strikes, giving as example the flight of Army bombing planes which dropped Red Cross food to marooned refugees at Rentyvo. Pennsylvania, during the Spring floods. More than 10.000 persons were rescued from the second floors of honiec In Wilkt s-Rarre and Kingston through Coast Guard-Red CroBs cooperation at the height of these same floods. "Government agencies and reltet groups were ot invaluable assistance' to Red Cross r< iiof forces at all times," Admiral Grayson stated The cumpleto resources of Red Cross leadership, training and disaster experleuct were brought into play the Spring floods and tornadoes which took so heavy a toll of life and prop erty In eastern and southern states this year, the annual report reveals. The RoC Coss aided 77.000 families . . - ? In 14 flooded states east of the Missis sippi and 6.000 families in 6 tornado hit states south of the Mason-Dixon line in this one operation "Never before have as many metropolitan centers borne the brunt of at tack by wiud and water within a single year, challenging Red Cross preparedness and efficiency by so wide a variety of pressing buman problems," Chairman Grayson said. In its work of relief to disaster sufferers tho Red Cross expended In excess of Jo.200.G00 for the year. The report points out that this figure does not Include assistance given In 27 lesser disasters with a total of 2,000 persons aided, and adds that additional millions will be used to "clean up" Spring floods and tornadoes. "Numerous local disaster situations occurring during the year were met by Red Cross chapter funds and manpower," Admiral Grayson said. "In each major relief operation undertaken the great army of Red Cross volunteers aided trained workers with the task of rehabilitating those without resources who had Buffered losses. "The Red Cross disaster relief serv- i ice is one of many Red Cross activities supported b7 the American people througb membership at the time of Roll Call, held each year from Armistice Day to Tbanksglvine." Red Cross Nurses Conbat Disease on Wide Front At the close of the fiscal year ended June 30, there were 673 Red Cross nurses bettering health conditions and (faring for the sick In 604 communities. These Red Cross public health nurses -cared for a total of 233.616 persons during the year and made more than a million visits on their behalf. Tho annual report of tho American Red Cross states further that these nurses cooperated with doctors in examining 671.057 school and pre-scbooi children with 342.861 physical defects found and curative treatment arranged In 209,080 cases. In 979 Red Cross chapters 1.733 grad uate nurses taught Red Cross home hy i- glene and care of. the slek. issuing certificates to 53.126 persons completing the courses In addition. 1,777 Red Cross reserve nurses were called upon during tho year for disaster and epidemic control work. ANIMAL LIFE ON EVEREST ( Ry L. E. Eub&nks in Our Dumb Animals) Comparatively few animals and birds care to live at altitudes ranging from 17,000 to 27,000 feet. The favorite height of the Himalayan' Mountains wild sheep is about l^.OO'V fedt. The cold at theae heights is intense and a strong gale blows nearly every day. As with many animals in ourowu country, the Himalayan goat, the yak and the Thibetan dog have their heavier coats in winter; but how do those frail little apollo buttertlies, seemingly happy at 17,000 feet, keep from blowing away in those fearful winds? They refuse to fly at such times but flatten themselves tightly against a rock. (irasshoppers. one might think, would keep to low vegetation, but there is one kind that goes up to ls.o?'0 feet, where it haunts the most] desolate moraines. j Some birds go to very great height* More than fifty different ' kinds have been seen at altitudes greater than 14,000 feet. Choughs, mountain finches and ravens are particularly venturesome. Choughs would probably follow campers even to the summit of Everest. I To see an animal or bird at a surprising altitude does not, of course, prove that place to be its habitat; it might be an accident?its presence there, or the creature might have been moved by a temporary wanderlust. It Isn't as remarkable to see an occasional chough at 27,000 feet as it is to find animals permanently established at 21,000 feet. What could live at that elevation? One might think some warm-coated creature, well adapted to resist cold. Hut no; earth's highest inhabitants are minute spiders, naked, soft-bodied, with uo apparent device to save them from being frozen to death. They are not the kind that make silken snares; they stalk and spring upon their prey. What do they feed on at 21,000 feet? It is a mystery. They seem so utterly alone in their desolation. And how do they survive those ten months of the year when every inch of their habitat is iron-bound with frost or buried under masses of snow? For perhaps two months of the year they can run abopt in the open; for the rest they must be frozen into hard Vj pellets. Hike arctic caterpillars, which in winter you can snap in pleees as though they were slate pencils, go for ten months of the year must the Everest spiders be living nodules of Ice. Stat# constitutional amendments were passed on In thirty states in Tuesday's elections. Tax questions were up for decision in twenty-four states, and social security was also a subject of amendment in most of the states. ? * * THE VICTORS SENSE THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES (Editorial In Tho State) We imagine that millions of those who voted on Tuesday for Roosevelt electors have somewhat the same feeling about the overwhelming victory of their candidate as has The State. And how may we describe that feeling? There is thankfulness and gratification. Rut there is not intoxication, or that elation which is somewhat similar to the inflation of a toy balloon. With coveted victory, there is seriousness and sober thought which comes with a sense of responsibility for our part in what is, end in what may be. That valiant old Boston merchant who spoke over the radio last Monday night, following the president and Senator Wagner, expressed, we believe, the sentiment of millions. Mr. Filene, an important business man in a hot-bed of anti-Roosevelt business interests, has supported the president?and contributed time and money to that support?for many months. He believes in the major objectives of the New Deal, including social security. He believes governments of advanced and advancing civilization should take into consideration human welfare; that because of great changes in conditions with changes in times those policies of government which a generation ago would havo been rightly regarded as radical are ! now not radical, but mark progress . in civilzation. But giving Roosevelt the stamp of approval, because of his high purpos-^ es, humanitarianism (and mark well j that Mr. Roosevelt has created tens of thousands of militant champions of humanitarianism who never hetore 1 lifted hand or voice in its behalf) j and forthrightness, this Boston mer-1 chant nevertheless appreciates the i administration's mistakes and the false moves, and believes that some ! enacted laws need amendment. We are sure that he feels as we do, that some of those upon whom the president has leaned for counsel, have served him poorly, and are responsi-! ble for much of criticism which Mr. Roosevelt has had to bear in silence. It is in our mind, therefore, that there are several millions of men and women who have contributed their influence and votes to the re-election of Mr. Roosevelt while they have earnestly depreciated ^umbers of policies and methods of his administration; that there are several millions who hare supported the man of the great heart and the great vision, while not agreeing with some features of laws enacted and not impressed by the responsibility and balance of some persons alleged to bo "presidential advisers." These, thinking of the success of Mr. Roosevelt's administration for which they feel some .responsibility, and having patriotic love for their country, are sobered by the mutual responsibilities. They are progressive, they are liberal. But their heads are upon their shoulders and their feet are upon the ground, and so they would have the heads and feet of all having part In the government. I resident Roosevelt has the spirit of a sportsman and sportsmen do not seek reprisals from the defeated. Neither, in a country like ours, do good politicians. Much greater things can be accomplished by pulling together, and one of the essenltals to such pulling is a fair hearing for "the other side." If they will not "come fn," then upon them must rest the responsibility. The country has recommissioned the captain of the Ship of State, but If our interpretation is right, that commission is not a letter of marque. Millions of those signing that com v ' .. * -i iiSQi Vv; - : ' * : -vV.aw'naiK mission would, we think, petition the captain to remember there are some uncharted spots in this American sea he will navigate; there may be hidden rocks. They would also beg that ! he test the capabilities of his lieuten1 ants, and that precautions be taken ! against sabotage. With that earnest pleading by devoted friends, they pledge him loyalty, and pray him God speed and God B blessings. Funeral Frank Laney Last Sunday The community was both shocked and greatly grieved when the news of the death of Frank Laney came to I BIshopville early Saturday morning. He died in a hospital at Charleston early Saurday morning where he had been carried after a car accident some miles from the city. He. with other Citadel cadeta, had attended the football game between The Citaael and the University of South Carolina, [ at Orangeburg, and after a social event in Orangeburg Friday night had started back to Charleston in a taxi.
