The Kershaw County Tuberculosis
Association for the past two years has
proven the worth of an active tuberculosis
program by steadily doing better
on the Job of flndlug tuberculosis
early enough 'to get best results; ,by
providing good service to families '
needing care and by protecting every
homo In the county. During 1940 It
had been planned to do a better piece
of work than ever before by Increasing
the chance to get X-ray examinations
more quickly. It will take allot
the $1,600 set as the goal to enable
the association to carry on a full time
program. Mrs. John Mullen, Christmas
Seal 8ite chairman, asks every
one who has not already' responded
to the appeal for funds to come to the
rescue In time'for the Tuberculosis
Association to feel that the people
want to &o ahead with stopping the
spread of tuberculosis which Bteals
the pay of those stricken with the
disease and robs especially those between
the ages of fifteen and fortyftve,
of years of active life. The Association
is counting on the support

SOUND SLEEP NEEDED
BY HEALTHY CHILDREN
Enough sound sleep is one of the
essentials for a child's health and
normal growth, says the New York
State College of Hoipe Economics,
which suggests that parents make
sure their . children, are getting
enough of the right kind of sleqp.
K a child Is well-grown,- has firm
muscles, rounded outlines erect pos- ,
ture, a rosy-* skin, clear eyes without
circles under them, a happy disposition
and a good appetite, he is probably
getting the right ijtlnd and
amount of sleep. Usually if a child
gets plenty of simple food and vigor
ous outdoor play in. the pun, be sleeps
well. - r'~~ ,
How'tauch sleep do children need?
Between the ages of two and three
most of them need between 13 and 14
hours at night and in daytime naps;
and between the ages of four and
eight, they need from 12 to 13 hours,
kittle ohildrsn need to rest frequently,
either by naps or- by quiet play.
The faster a child is growing, the
more sleep he needs J therefore, when
children start "shooting up" In adolescence,
they need even more sleep
than when a year or two younger;
if children are accustomed from
Infancy to a regular bedtime, except
on special occasions, their chances tor
normal development of body and
mind are greatly helped, and management
is simplified. Except for these
special occasions, it is unwise to give
in to a child who begs' to stay up
rjuet itaUr one time". ; ~

mmmmmnssaBaawammamBmmmmssBBrrrHitler
Sees Decisive
Victory in Year 1940
Ilerlln, Dee. '30.?Adolf Hitler today,
proclaimed a new war aim, prophesied
that "the Jewish capitalistic world
will not survive the twentieth century",
and expressed faith in a German
war victory in 1940, "the most
'-decisive year In German history."
His hitherto undeclared war aim
was "prevention of a still greater Injustice"
which he said the western
powers planned to substitute for the
Versailles peacp treaty imposed on
Dermany at the end of the World war.
[Hitler, In a long New Year message
to the Nasi party, emphasised
that he insisted upon a military decision
and iuiimated that he would
accept no compromise.
"Arms this time", he said, "hiuat
definitely be wrenched from the hands
of war inciters and war declarers."
This pant of the message was underlined
by Nasi commentators.
"About one thing we are clear," Hitler
told the party, "The Jewish capitalistic
world enemy that stands opposite
us has but one aim and that
is, to destroy Germany and the Gorman
people!"
Jt was at first said "that they wanted
to help Poland." Hitler wrote, and
when that failed to succeed, he said,
Poland's reconstruction was nee* longer
a war object but Instead "my elimination?that
Is, the uprooting of National
Socialism."
Admonishing the nation to bear Its
war burdens, Hitler then said:
"We therefore have a clear and precise
war aim: Germany and beyond
that Europe must be liberated from
the oppression'and constant threats
which today as In the past originate
in England. .. .
, . We not only fight against the
Versailles injustice but for prevention
of a still greater injustice which
is to take Its place.
"And positively we fight for construction
of a new Europe because
We'fere, in contrast, to Chamberlain,
of the conviction that this new Europe
cannot be shaped by the outmoded
forces of a decaying world and not by
so-called statesmen who are unable
to Bolve even the most primitive problems
In their own countries, but that
loi>the Reconstruct ion of Europe only
those 'peoples and forces are called
upon which In their conduct and their
achievements q,an be spoken of as
young and productive. * . .
"The Jewish capitalistic world will
not survive the 80th century."
In a second message addressed to
the army, Hitler asked the blessing
of God, "who during the Past sb
visibly took us under His protection,"
and he warned his soldiers that "the
hardest possible struggle for existence
or non-existence of the German people"
lies ahead."
But, he said, with "such soldiers,
Germany must win."
