TUBERCULOSIS CAN BE
PREVENTED 8AY8 KOCH
I
March 24 was the sixtieth anniversary
of a notable event in medical
history, for on that day in 1882
Robert Koch announced to the world
the discovery of the tubercle bacillus.
This discovery swept aside the theory
that tuberculosis was of a herlditary
nature, which had held sway since
tuberculosis was first known, and
substituted for it the fact that tuberculosis
was an infectious disease
This gave us hopo that tuberculosis
could be prevented and cured. Of
courso we now soe it clearly and are
seeking to find the active case in a
community so that we may prevent
them from infecting others. I
Today this is the key to our antituberculosis
program?for we know
that no home is safe until every homo
is safe, from tuberculosis.
i When Koch discovered tubercje
bacillus there was scarcely an Indl|
vidual in the civilized world who did
not have a relative or cIobo friend
suffering from tuberculosis. But in
the brief span of sixty yoars the incidence
has been reduced to less than
one fifth of what it formerly was. As
a result there will be about 300,000
less deaths from tuberculosis in the
United States this year than there
would have been had the death rate
continued as it was in 1882 when the
bacillus was discovered.
It will be necessary for us all to
concentrate our efforts more upon
our health for war puts an added responsibility
on us for the work we
can do. It is patriotic to be healthy.
There were 809,794 visitors, in 37,979
private automobiles, to Piatt National
Park during 1940

Camden Many Times
Victim Of Flames
(Continued from first page)
southwest cornor of York and Broad
streets, and fanned by a strong northwest
breeze swept down upon the
court house and market. Almost one
hundred buildings including two hotels
were destroyed. In February 1866,
came tho burning of the town by federal
troops under Sherman. In 1874,
another disastrous fire occurred erasing
the northern half of the west side
of Broad street between DeKalb and
Kutledge. In this area was the hotel
known as*ttie Mansion, or Kershaw
House. This particular square was destroyed
again in 1892 and again in
1902. In 1876 the block known as the
Meroney at Rutledge and Broad
streets, with many other buildings
and offices was wiped out and in 1877
a fire which was known as the. Great
Ark Fire took place. The "Ark" was
a large wooden building on the site
of the present city hall and was
known as the Old Ark. It was a fire
of great proportions and half of the
square on that side went with it.
History recites that these many
fire disasters were not due to any
fault of the Camden fire department,
which from an early day has had
the reputation of being active, effi-1
cient, and gallant. Early regulations
regarding fire protection are found
in an old ordinance of 1798, which required
that each lot owner have a
well, a bucket, and a ladder. Four fire
masters were designated to take
charge at the conflagrations and the
insignia that they carried was a black
staff with a white tip.
Prior to 1829 a fire engine company (
known as The Independent was char-j
tered by the legislature and perform- j
ed heroicly and effectively in saving i
the Town Hall and court house in,
the great fire of 1829. In 1830, the;
Hook aiyl Ladder company was es- ,
tablished, and in 1833 thero was still |
another fire company known as (he I
Hydraulion. History records that in!
1833 Aaron Burr was Captain of tho.
Independent company. This Independent
company operated a fire engine,
at considerable expense, equipped
with twenty-four feet of suction and
one hundred and fifty feet of delivery
hose. This machine was regarded as
being one of the finest in the line of
fire fighting equipment in that period, '
and was described by one of the town'
Jokesters as "a beast with a short tail i
behind and a long one in front". Dur-j
ing the forties and fifties Camden had '
three fire engines. The Market engine
for down town fires, the Hydraulion
for the middle section of the city,
and the Log Town engine for the up
town. In the seventies they then
boasted one white company and two,
colored companies of firemen.
It was in 1884 that the first fire
steamer made Its appearance,
