Friday, April 1, 1938 w^Tere folks mingle Distinguished mentbors of tho world of sport.and society are gathering in this quaint southern city to attend tho Carolina Cup races Saturday afternoon. Governor Oliu h. Johnston and wife and scores of members of the general state assembly will be guests of honor. International followers of King Horse liken this Camden classic to tho Atntree Grand National In England. It will bo run over the famous Bpriugdule course which covers three I? miles of timber. There are eighteen jumps, which will demand the peak of horsemanship from Jockeys, who provide a panorama of thrills and S . spills In full view of an audience which this year may exceed 15,000. In the bright Carolina sunshine, prominent people frbm tho north, and aristocratic southerners will mingle In camaraderie In an area In a picturesque pine grove where spectators tread on a carpet of aromatic pine needles. Society colonies from Aiken, Plne% & hurst, Southern Fines, Augusta, Palm Beach, Charleston. Columbia. Wilmington and other points will meet hero Saturday. Socialites from points in Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania will arrive by train, motor and , plane. Already many of the ships of tho air have gone Into storage at tho Woodward air Held here until the race is over. The Carolina Cup race is similar to the Alntree. in that swanky luncheons are served, English fashion, around luxurious motor cars. The J odor of southern fried chicken and hot biscuits is sniffed as champagne corks pop a salute to the colorful silk clad riders and their galloping steeds. The feminine contingent will he out irt the gayest of rigs and the style display exhibited will rival the famous Easier parade a t Atlant i< News reel camera operators, radio | broadcasters and newspaper cameramen are here in droves to ' spot the Bb race in pictures and over the air. An , jR niiK'""n"si police?force of?city?and -i county with detectives from the metropolitan centers will handle tho ( crowds and keep the activity of crim[]fj inals in check ^ YOU?THE KEY PERSON The entire campaign against tuberculosis would make greater headway if each Individual, rich and poor, city and rural dweller, young and old, i would regard it as his Individual re- : sponsihility to know how he stands in relation to tuberculosis. From a self-preservation point of <. view, an individual owes it to himself j to know how healthy he really is lie also owes it to his family, and he must realize that good health, as It i pertains to freedom from tuberculosis, is purchasable. You need not have J i tuberculosis. because modern methods of prevention and diagnosis offer opportunities for early protection. Each individual should consider the members of his family. A person unknowingly tuberculous can sor\ e a death warrant on all with whom lie comes In contact. Tuberculosis is not Inherited, but a tuberculous person through constant association with others passes along the disease. Tuberculosis Is treacherous and misleading Through long months and years the disease may be getting a firm foothold In the lungs with no outward Indication of its presence. Usually when all of the proofs of tuberculosis break out. the case Is far advanced 't&tf and the result Is a long, expensive confinement-a burden to tho family And to the community. This Is sufficient reason for you to find out If you have tuberculosis. It Is vital that parents support and cooperate with health education programs, including tuberculin testing among school children. Whichever way a person looks at, the prevalence of tuberculosis, tt all , goes bac k to the individual?man,! woman or child?as the key person; In the prevention, and. Indeed, in the possible elimination of the disease If i the individual safeguards himself from: tuberculosis infection be is directly j protecting his family from the disease , * And when his family is protected the! community is protected In other words, a person is wise in watching out for his own health status, but in doing so he Is making a very unselfish .gesture toward his family and community.

DESPICABLE SWINDLERS ARE PREYING ON THE IGNORANT Reports of pecullurly despicable types of swindling have reached the State Department of Public Welfare within the past fepr days from widely separated sections of the State.

Within un hour the mutter wus reported to the state constabulary and the highwuy patrol, with a partial description of the car occupied by the women. From Anderson county came samples of literature sent out by "The Nutlonul Old Age Pension Association," with offices In the Colorado llullding, Washington.

The organization Is also shown to be "unincorporated," dud to be "a voluntary and mutual non-profit association of men and women favoring congressional enactment of direct federal pensions . . . without red tape or meddling by states or counties." These coupons are given out by "workers," and Instructions are that "25c In coin or money order must be sent with this enrollment for life coupon." The only purpose contemplated, as shown by the enrollment coupon, Is to create a "legal association." No service or activity on the part of the "association" or Its president Is promised In the coupon, which reads as follows: I, the undersigned, hereby enroll as a lifetime member of the National Old Age Pension Association. 1 hereby voluntarily associate myself with J. H. Pope and others,' who. prior to or 011 this date have signed; or may heroafter sign identical enrollment papers, thus creating a legal association, delrenting to him. the said J E. Pope, now permanently, full plenary executive powers In it 11 matters administrative and ;j or fiscal In connection with the government of this assocla- f tIon, with the understanding that the monthly salary of such president or executive shall at 110 time exceed j $3<m. The Department of Public Welfare 1 has reported the activities of this J "organization" to the postal authori-i Lies in the belief that its operations, 1 IT conducted by mail, are Illegal. "There is no need for any person j to pay any one to assist In securing j old age or other public assistance and . any HUch solicitation;" by mall or oth-T erwlse, should he promptly reported I to law enforcement officers and to County Departments of Public Welfare," state director Thomas II Daniel said today.
