HALF A MILLION PEOPLE
Can you Imagine the excitement
that would rolgu here and elsewhere
if all the people In Miami, Florida
and Knoxvtllo Thiiiu^hwi had to he
moved from their homos to a hospital
for medical care, leaving not a soul
to fill the empty house#, schools,
stores and factories? What a picture
of desolation!
Last year more than two hundred
thousand people In the United States,
as many as the combined population
of Miami and Knoxvllle. Ifet their
Imhiihh for admlsslou to tuberculosis
hospital#. Twonty-two Kershaw
County pooplo were admiteod to tuberculosis
hospitals during 1940..
Resides the two hundred thousand
United States citizens admitted to tuberculosis
hospitals last year, there
are In this country three hundred
thousand people having tuberculosis
that are mingling with the population
here and there dally. At the present
time there are approximately a dozen
Kershaw County people in the tuberculosis
sanatorium and about fortyfive
known cases living or working
among us. Somo havo already received
santorlum care.
In addlton to the tuberculosis cases
that curry out Instructions given by
physicians and at clinics, thuro Is a
group of cases yet unfound as well as
a small percentage of careless people
+vmong?the known cases that are
spreading tuberculosis germs as they
mlnglo among unsuspecting men,
women and children.
So It becomes Increasingly evident
that the Kershaw County Tuberculosis
Association must ever bo on the lookout
for the protection of tiio people
in this county.
Every day Christmas Seal Sale
funds are being used for purposes
that will help Ihoso already stricken
wiih tuberculosis recover and for purposes
that will have a tendency to
prevent the spread of Infection.

Mulberry Triumphs *
In Polo Battle
(Continued from first page)
Mulberry.
The fifth chukker was a slam bang
affair with the teams careening from
ono end of the field to the other, from
sideboards to sideboards and no score.
The sixth was pretty much of the
same kind of action but with 30 seconds
remaining, Tupper scored after
Burns had carried the ball the length
of the field. The Blues were hot now
and the army was fighting purely a
defensive battle. The seconds ticked
off. Time keeper Ancrum reached
toward the bell. Twelve, eleven, ten,
nine and then whain?Robertson had
scored the tying goal. And the crowd
yelled happily.. It was an army crowd
as hundreds of Columbia fans were
cheering for the Troop.
The seventh chukker started after
an exchange of ponies and for two
minutes the teams milled over the
arena. The Mulberry riders wore
carrying the attack to the army and
after 45 seconds of tho third minute
had clicked away, Robertson, with the
peculiar colored helmet of Llghtfoot's
roared out of the pile and smacked the
ball between tho posts for the winning
score..
The play by play account of the
game over the public address system
was in charge of Ralph Waldo Chase.
Mrs. Chase interspersed' his action
story with sallies, of wit and satire
and had the crowd in a happy laughing
mood.
The usual big crowd of fans came
from all parts of tho state and from
points in North Carolina to witness
the game. There were many soldiers
from Fort Jackson on hand to root for
tho army.
Next Sunday the army returns for
another game with the Mulberry
team. Major McGrath hopoe to have
Lieutenant Brown with him so that
with Lieutenant Kwart J. Bdgerton he
will hiyre tho three best riders of the
Troop. If Lieutenant Brauchli is unable
to attend DuBose will probably
play with tho Troop.
The Mulberry lineup will be about
the same altho Lightfoot may go In at
his usual position No. 3 in place of
Tapper who would shift to his regular
N'o. 1 position, displacing Burns, who
Is not a rgeular Mulberry player.
Charley Littlo and Ancrum Boykin,
who officiated as referee and umpire
in iho game last Sunday, will again
be the officials next Sunday.
