M ay or Lauds Band
and School System
In his appearance at the Intermission
of the Caiuden schools hand conceit
at the school auditorium last
Friday eveu^|, Mayor F. N. MoOorkle
took otjcaalon to pay tribute to
Camden* tine aobool system, an efficient
teaching staff and a splendid
baud.
*^My primary purpose," said the
(Ptayor, "In appearing on this platform
to say a few words tonight, Is of
course to^express my views on our
new band.
"As I walked Into this tine school
trtruotqre this evening 1 had one dominating
reaction and that was that we
people iu Camden have a lot to be
thankful for, a lot to be proud of and
one of these sources ot thankfulness
aud prkle is our flue school system,
"We are also fortunate that the
school faculty, made up and
women of high Christian character,
to mould the lives of our boys and
girls. It Is an assurance of good for
the entire community,
' May I say a few words about this
band -that you have heard tonight.
The band had Its inception only a few
months ago aud 1 think you will agree
with me that its progress has been
most gratifying. I have heard the
the famous Arthur Pryor band
play music that swayed big audiences.
I have heard the famous John Phillip
Sousa band, the Gllmore band and
many others. These bands had to
have a beginning just the same as our
own schools band. And our band will
progress in excellence.
"Last sunwper you probably recall
that fine high school band from Lancaster
that came down to play for the
entertainment of a big group of Florida
airmen at the Woodward airport.
Later the same band marched in our
cotton festival parade. Camden wanted
a band like that and today Camden
has a band. A good band is a great
asset to a community.
'IMr, Newell Wlmberly, the director
of this band, Is to be congratulated
on the wonderful progress he has
made with the young musicians. We
are proud of our director and we are
proud of these young band musioians.
"As your mayor I ask for your cooperation
and support in the future of
of this fine band."

MI88 THOMAS ATTEWD8 HEALTH
MEETING AT MYRTLE BEACH
Kershaw county's tuberculosis
nurse, Miss Marie Thomas, attended
the meeting of the South Carolina
public health asaoclatlon at Myrtle
Beach Wednesday of last week to
hear Doctor P. P. MoKaln, superintendent
of the North Carolina Sanatorium,
talk on "Present Concepts In
Tuberculosis Infection and Dlaaase,"
Dr. McKaln said among other things,
"Every positive reactor to the tuberculin
test, especially persons such as
school teachers and drivers of school
buses, who come iu close contact with
large numbers of children dally,
should be examined for tuberculosis."
He related a story about a college
student having a positive tuberculin
test. Three successive years, during
her.collogo career, this young woman
turned down an opportunity for X-ray
examination in spite of the fact she
had a slight chronic cough, which she
attributed to cigarette smoking. Soon
after graduation, she accepted a position
In a school. The following year
It was found that a large number of
children in this teacher's class had a
positive tuberculin test. Since In that
comi&unlty, there was a ruling that
all teachers as Veil as students having
a positive tuberculin test must
have a chest examination, the teacher
at last decided to be X-rayed. It developed
that she had an advanced
J case of tuberculosis and further Investigation
revealed that several
members of this teacher's family also
had tuibrculosls.
Colonel W. H. Moncrlef, superintendent
of the South Carolina Sanatorium.
who was preeent for the tuberculosis
secretaries' luncheon, assured
tuberohlosls workers that plans
are being made for better service to
counties seeking X-ray examination
for tholr citizens and students. As
to the possibilities for admitting cases
of tuberculosis to the sanatorium at
State Park, Colonel Moncrlef said,
"Since the first of the year we have
been able to provide bedB promptly
for white patients seeking admission
to State Park. However, there Is a
watlng list of two hundred negroes
asking for hospital care." "South Carolna,"
continued ~ Colonel Moncrlef,?
"needs more beds In tuberculosis hospitals
for negro patients in order to
prbperly deal with the situation."
I During the last -fiscal year more
than five hundred people were admitted
to the South Carolina Sanatorium 1
at State Park. "About two hundred
and seventy-five of these," said Colonel
Moncrlef, "had tuberculosis In the
far advanced stage; we must arrange
to be able to admit them In the ear^
Her stages if we expect many cures."
Kershaw county is entirely dependent
on the sanltorium at State Park
for care of tuberculosis cases. Since
January 1, Kershaw county has been
able to get nine patients admitted to.
State Park. There are seven on the
waiting list. Six of these ate negroes.
?-?
It is with the fctfoceeds 0f the 1989
Christmas Seal sale, which netted the
county about $1,200 after 20 per cent
was paid to the tftate And national
tuberculosis associations, that the local
tuberculosis association Is carrying
ou a program to control and prevent
tuberculosis.."
