mt Fund of Three Ctr. Grows to $9,000 For Structure With patients at the South Caro lina sanitarium at State Park hoping Christmas will bring them assurance of their proposed lecreation hall and chapel, Governor Ibra C. Blackwood has endorsed the building committee’s statewide appeal for contributions to raise the $7,200 needed to complete the building fund. The governor’s statement is as follows: “The efforts of 'public^ spirited citizens to assist the patients of the South Carolina sanitarium in obtain ing at State Park a patients’ chapel and community building are woithy of the support cf everyone. The patients have raised a fund of $9,000 and it is the purpose of the present endeavors to secuie $7 200 further, so that the building may be erected. The shut-ins at State Park deserve a chape! and are to ’oe commended for what they themselves have done and should be helped in this cause by everyone able to contribute. Decenv ber 25, 1932, is the date set for the donations which are to be payable to Dr. Ernest Cooper, treasurer. As governor cf South Carolina, I com mend this matter to the people of my State and hope that the necessary funds may be in the hands of Doctor Cooper by December "25 so that the assurance cf the new building may be a worthy Christma s gift to those who soiely need the same.” Governor Endorses. Governor Blackwood’s endorse ment was received joyfully by the committee which is attempting to raise the $7,200 by contributions from citizens, organizations and in dividual. Over a long period of years, by dint of pinching pennies, patients themselves have raised over $9,000. “Governor Blackwood’s statement offers to citizens of South Carolina a “As physicians, nurses p’oyes of the South Carolina sanator ium we wish to express our appr.ecia- vj _ f or the work done by patients of •the* sanatorium toward securing funds for the erection of a chapel and com munity building.

The joy of Christmas is in unselfish giving. What better typifies the spirit of the Master than making possible thie desite of patients for - a chapel and community building which carries be hind it eight long years of unselfish striving and sacrificial work?” The South Carolina sanitarium is the only State institution without a chapel. “Only those familiar with tubercu losis and the sanatorium can fully realize the need for such a building,” BROWN & BUSH Attorneys-at-Law BROWN-BUSH BUILDING BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA PRACTICE IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS Mr. Hammack said. “For patients confined to the sanitorium for months with no place to go or congregate ex cept an overcrowded dining room— time hangs heavily. “Realizing that peace of mind and diversion ate great factors in the cure of tuberculosis, a group of twelve consecrated Christian women, while patients at the sanitarium, un dertook to secure a fund to provide the building.” Work Is Described.

STANDARD FREDERIC and FRENCH TONIC WAVES FOR* ONLY $1.95 The woik of these people is describ ed by a committee member as “a record of preseverance and unselfish ness carried on unremittingly for eight years by sick people.” Of the way patients made their money, he stated: “They have not sat with folded hands asking for con tributions but through their own ef forts—often sacrificial—have raised over $4,200 of the amount now on hand. They have made this money in many ways, through a tithing club, birthday contributions, the sale of handwork and tinfoil, and brick sales, money was raised. The chief method cf securing money among themselves, is the patients’ exchange—known as the chapel fund stoie. This exchange c perated by patients sells necessaries, etc., used by patients while on the cure. All profits go directly into the chapel fund. Through this agency patients contribute indirectly to the fund.” Donations for the building have been coming in for several years. Sunday school s and missionaiy socie ties, patiiotic organizations and friends have contributed. In May 1925, B. T. Frierson, of Conway, de voted his one month’s vacation to carrying the message cf the sanator ium over the State, and raised $900. The unwavering loyalty of the patients to their goal has been recog nized by the following persons who are aiding in the move to make the chapel a reality: The Rt. Rev. Kirkman G.
