It Is as If they knew the danger past and the danger ahead from tuberculosis. Tuberculosis charts a strange course through the years of life, Veering in and out 'among boys and girls, men and women, never driving any period In llfo a clear berth, but choosing certain years?the young, active, produotivo yearg?for Its most violent aitu^ks Seldom thought of us one of tho so-called childhood diseases, tuberculosis kills more children under ten years of ago than does either dlptherla or scarlet fever. During these young years, the disease attacks little boys and girls alike, showing little of tho grim preference It does later. When tho 'teens are reached, tuberculosis rapidly advances to take more) lives than any other diseases. Duringj these years, the scythe swings inorej deadly among girls than among boys. Why? Science, as yet, does not know. During the twenties, tuberculosis continues .to take more lives than any other disease and it still kills more young women than young moil. Hut during the thirties, the toll of lives among men begins to mount and through-out the remaining years of life more men fall with the disease than women. Tuberculosis is still the greatest enemy of youth, taking more lives between tho ages of 15 and 15 than any other disease What can bo done to meet the plea for the years ahead of the children on tho seal? Scientists, modlcal men, ...... MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD ANNOUNCED, i \ Columbia, Nov. 13?Governor Maybank hat* announced the name* of. members of South Carolina's medical advisory board for the eelectivo ?ervice. Ho separated them Into 12 district*. ICach district board will bo compos<mI of physician* and specialist** on internal modiciuo, psychiatry, clinical pathology, orthopedic augery. radiology aurgory and other fields. The 1 boards will assist local draft boards ( in determining the physical quullltcaHons of registrants.. The appoitttmeats Included: Seventh district (Clarendon, I eA j Kershaw, Sumter counties): Or.

H, i F. linker, Sumter, orthopedic surgery; | Dr. J. 1L Dunn, Sumter, oplhalmology; ' Dr. M. K. ParrlSh, Sumter, radiology (acceptance unreoelved from api>oluteo for surgery.) < tt health departments, and the tuborcu- 1 losls associations throughout the * country are answering their plea as ' quickly and fully as possible. J But there Is no vaccine for the prevention of tuberculosis. There Is ne ' drug for the cure Of the disease? Knowledge of the characteristics of 1 the disease?how It is caught, how It can be prevented, how It affects the 1 [body, how it can bo treated-?and tho spreading of such knowledge are our only weapons. 1 Tuberculosis education must bo universal. Tuberculosis is an Infectious disease and can bo In an advanced stago before tho victim is aware ho has It. During the months or years that tuberculbsls can hide behind apparently healthy looks, It is destroy- ( lug tho chances of recovery of tho victim and spreading the germs to many others. . Wo all must know such facts as these about tuberculosis. No child Is safe from the disease until all children sro safe. To educate a nation and at the same timo finance medical research In Its undaunted quest for , more and more knowledge about ( tuberculosis takes money. Wo are the solo moans of support i of the National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated associations < throughout the country. We give i onl? small contributions. One dollar, j I wo dollars, five dollars from ue ia little enough to give to children, our children, who are asking for a chance to live out their lives free from danger of tuberculosis.

' RED CRO88 NOTE8 Sadie von Troackow. Publicity Chairman Camden Needa a Community Houee As In the laat World War when military station* were established all over the United State* and wore receiving hundreds of recruit* dally, the "Moth? er of The lk>ye"i the American Hed Cross, was busy setting up contacts botweeu service men and their famines, Writing letters to the home folks, giving advice on family and personal worries, mothering the home sick lad, helping to tit them for 'their new and arduous life are a few of the deeds of kindness and the Camden Chapter has been asked to stress this work. , In addition, our Production Corps work which must go on, the need greater now than ever, Is hampered by (he lack of a central room which could be Hed Cross Headquarters for all Hed Cross work and the place where the Boys In the Army and Navy could ooiue for contact with the special worker for Hellef. The Roll Call chairman had ft hard time this year finding available space for that Important department and incidentally It shows Camden's mercantile prosperity when a vacant store room could not bo found for love or monoy. Camden neede and should have a community house, centrally situated where all clubs could meet. Red Cross <xiUT(Thave headquarters, and work rooms, the underprivileged children a play ground, an udult school room and all activities pertaining to comhfiunlty life could be carried on. The City Hall or old "Opera House" could have been so used. Liberty Hill, wo understand, was able to obtain $1500 for such a project and now has a splendid Community House, can Camden afford to lag behind? Wo have just begun War I Work (prevention we hope.) The A. R. C .Chapter, Executive Board, wishos to thank Mr. Arthur Smith for the loan of the room next to f [his furniture store for Roll Call Head' quarters. Enroll now and watch the thermometer rise. Bethune and Blan-j ey are leading the County organization so far In sending In members and j the other communities are orged to make competition hot for them. Our last News Service Sheet announces that A. R. C. has telegraphed, through our American Minister at Athens. Greece, $10,000 to be given to the Greek Red Cross to aid victims of air raids and other wounded civilians; ! at the same time purchasing $5000 worth of dried milk to be distributed to Greek civilians. Letters like the following are received daily at Headquarters showing supplies are being distributed and used in England. Betty Ay res of Middlesex England writes to Patricia La Brot of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, "Well, Battle, there is something I would like you to do. If you live any where near an American Red Cross Organization, I would like you to thank them for me for the gt'Od they are doing. If they wera to come over hero and see the good the medical supplies are doing, the Joy their relief and clothing are bringing homeless families It would be I'm sure, all tho thanks they require for the hard work they have put into their cause." Thus are tho cowardly falsehoods spread by Fifth Columnists In our country that Red Cross Supplies do rot reach their proper destination nailed in the head. Great Britain receives all.

A triumph last year wSJTTxef appearance as a guest of Blug^roeby on the Kraft Music Hall program, and proof of her popularity and the appeal of her unique instrument was her recall for ah encore within a few weeks.

Graygoi Bhaw presented a very int-erastlng and well prepared article on Lion education. Lion Shaw coined ihe fundamentals of the aims and objects of Lion Ism along with telling the club exactly what It meant to bo a Lion. After the meal the group of stuffed Lions (in terms of food) gathered around the huge fire and swapped yarns; and It sure Is good that Baron Munchausen belonged to another age for. he sure was outclassed as those Jovial Lious pulled one fish and hunt tale after another, aud modestly Insisted that they be accepted as fact. The clan disassembled around ten o'clock with the keen appreciation of a fine meal and Jolly good time, thanka to Lion James and Shaw. However, the whole club felt sligbty out of balance though due to the absence Df those three outdoor lovers, Alva Rush, Bill Campbell, and Charlie DeLoache. First Red Cross Donor C. H.
