Tuberculosis kills a person every eight minutes in the Tinted States. The death rate is .-iglit times as high among unskilled workers, three times as high among skilled workers and clerks as among professional -people, therefore, its control is of vital importance to men and women In the labor group. The Kershaw County Tuberculosis association knows no line of race, creed nor occupation, for several years It has spent the major portion of its Income for the examination, i arc, and case finding of people represented In families of labor.... many unemployed. Some pts.pl.- have the impression that tuberi u 1 os i s is not a health menace. but i < ? n' 1 > . as the National Tuberculo-is Association opened its early diagnosis tampaign urging I'niT ed States citizens to have chest x-rays, ominous warnings were issued by several experts. They reminded the public that tuberculosis. although it has been pushed back from first to eighth place among T. S. killers, it still kills more people between the ages of IS and 40 than any other disease. This is the army group in most parts, so if we are to build up tho strength of our nation for defense, we j must lower the figures of the tuberculosis death rato . . let us remove tuberculosis altogether from tho list of killers, as other diseases have been removed.... this can be done by early diagnosis, with examination and x-ray, so early treatment may he started when necessary, in the stage it is most effective, and when it requires the least in time and cost....let us do our part.

Paving Assessments By order of City Council all unpaid paving assessments on property will be levied upon and sold. / Mrs. Louise Boykin, * City Clerk and Treasurer. imwwwff gaawapppi Active 8ervlee Postponed Washington, D. C., August IB?By one vote, the House Tuesday ulght approved, 203 to 202, legislation prolonging the active service of draftees, National Uuadsmen, reservists and regulars by 18 months. The bill as passed carried a pay Increase of $10 for all men except commissioned officers, after they have finished a year In the Army and a mandatory clause for the dismissal of soldiers whose families may suffer hardships if they are not let out after 12 months. Identical to the Senate bill In its major provisions, the House measure Is expected to achieve quick Senate approval of minor changes. Within a. week probably this legislation Is expected to become the law of the land with the signature of President Roosevelt. The vote?In which only 405 of the 435 total membership of the House expressed an opinion?was taken after Majority Leader John W. McCormack warned that the interest of the Nation transcends that of the individual. Time has passed and our enemies have moved. We know that Japan Is moving and that VJchy has fallen into German hands, that things may happen any date to endanger the security of our country. This was the keynote on which the one-vote victory, affecting the lives of a great section of American youth, was passed. An amendment to H. R. 6300, which has been in House-Senate Cbnference, was reported out favorably Wednesday and was passed by the House. This is known as Amendent No. 4 and provides: "That the Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized and directed to acquire title to all cotton or wheat of the 1940 and previous crops on which Joans have been made1 or arranged for by such Corporation, as soon as It has the right to do so In accordance with the terms and conditions on which such loans were made: Provided, That upon acquiring title to any such cotton or wheat in which the producer has an equity, the Commodity Credit Corporation shall pay to the producer a sum equal to the amount by which the market price of such cotton or wheat (determined on the basis of the place where it is located and as of date the Corporation acquires title) exceeds the amount of the loan on such cotton or wheat, Including accrued interest and accrued carrying charges. During the continuation of the Present European war, "and thereafter until the Congress shall other wise provide, no cotton or wheat of the 1940 crop, or any previous crop, title to which is now held or hereafter acquir ?d b y th? Commodity C rod It Corpora tlon shall bo sold or otherwise disp<*. v ed of by such Corporation; extent that (a) Such cotton or wheat muy be disposed of (I) for use for domestic relief purposes pursuant, to authortly contained in other provisions or law, (2) for use for relief purposes In any foreign country, (8) for use by any foreign country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States, or (4) for export to any foreign country pursuant to authority and subject to limitations contained tin other provisions of law, in any case in which the Secretary of Agriculture determines that such disposal and use of euch cotton or whest for such purposes will not reduce tin market price and will not interfere with the sale or distribution of cotton or wheat or cotton or wheat products In the norma! channels of trade and commerce: i .(b) Such cotton or wheat may be disposed of for uqe by other. departments or agencies of the government for purposes important to the national defense in any case In which the Secretary of Agriculture determines that the use of such cotton or wheat for such purposes will not reduce the market price'1' and will not interfere with the sale or distribution of cotton or wheat or cotton or wheat products in the normal channels of trade and commerce; and (c) Such cotton or wheat may be exchanged for other cotton or wheat In any case In which the Secretary of Agriculture finds that such exchauge is necessary in order that sufficient quantities of cotton or wheat of particular grades, types, or staples may be made available to meet the needs of trade and commerce for such particular grades, types, or staples." The manufacture of White sldewall automobile tires was prohibited August 8 in an order signed by Priorities Director Stettinius. The order takes effect at midnight, August 23, 1941. It is estimated that cessation o(. _ white sldewall tire manufacture will save more than 6,000 tons of crude rubber a year, or over 13,000,000 pounds. Manufacture of white sidewall tires consumes approximately two pounds more crude rubber per tire. - ^ Mrs. Norton of Kershaw Dies Lancaster, Aug. 16.?Mrs. Lou Norton, 68, died at her home in Kershaw | Friday night.
