State shows increase in
number of tubercular cases
"Danger signals of a flare-up in tuberculosls
are already appearing thruout
tlie United States," according to
J. Nelson Frierson. president of the
South Carolina Tuberculosis Association.
"In communities where defense activities
are flourishing, recent information
from the National Tuberculosis
Association points to an increase
in the prevalence of tuberculosis, possibly
duo to overtime and Increased
strain, with overcrowded housing conditions,"
said Dr. Frierson. "South
Carolina is one of the states that show
an increase in death rates from tuberculosis,
in 1940,"
"It is extremely urgent that we
make every possible effort to chock
the rise and spread of the disease.
Tuberculosis always spreads during
war times," said Dr. Frierson. "Although
no accurate figures are available
from European countries, England
reports a steady rise in the disease,
the Vichy government reports a sharp
rise. Word has come from one of the
occupied Low Countries that tuberculosis
Is reaching a stage not unlike
the great epidemic of the Middle
Ages."
"Every effort is being made by thp
National association and its affiliated
associations to meet this danger we
face from tuberculosis," states Dr,
Frierson.
"If ever wo needed the full understanding
and cooperation of the public
we need it now, throughout the
coming year in all our work. We
have full confidence that we can hold
tuberculosis In check lu this country,
and to that end we are Increasing all
our efforts to the maximum."
In Kershaw county we have admitted
to State I'ark Sanatorium four
cases of tuberculosis since the first
of December 1910. Tills does not indicate
that we cun relax our efforts
here. What we want is an "All Out"
on tuberculosis, so we may have
strong healthy workers.

Bowers Urges
Purchase of Bonds
State Administrator, W. P. Bowers,
of the U. S. Defense Bond sale has
notified the county chairmen and cochairman
that Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau has Issued instructions
for a canvass to be made of every
person gainfully employed in the
United States to secure pledges to
purchase defense bonds and stamps,
This canvass is to commence sometime
after February 10, 1942. It can
really be seen that this Is an enormous
undertaking and requires the
hearty cooperation of every person In
this county. With our country in war
and with money being necessary for
the purchase of equipment, machine
guns, rifles,, tanks, airplanes, shipt
and the like which are essential and
vital to the successful conclusion ol
the war, it is our duty to not onlj
pledge ourselves to purchase all ol
the defense stamps and bonds thai
we can, but it is our further duty tc
assist in the canvass which is to be
held in this county.
Mr. Bowers suggests that every organization,
such as the American Legion,
American Legion Auxiliary, Parent-Teachers'
Association, Women's
Clubs, Junior Chamber of Commerce
and Civic Clubs offer their services
to assist in this canvass. If any such
organization is willing to participate in
this worthy campaign you are requested
to notify your county Ohairman.
Mr. Bowers feels that organizations of
the kind referred to above can be of
great assistance in organizing a campaign
of this type.
We have been a long time wanting
to do something definite and concrete
to assist in the prosecution of the
war. Here is something definite that
tlie public can assist the county committee
of the dofenso savings staff,
which has been rendering such wonderful
service without compensation
since tho sale of these securities was
commenced in May, 1941.
. You have been wanting to help your,
country. here, is the. opportunity.
