H. Huguley and Mrs. Wistar Harmon, with every opportunity possible. These appeals have been com bined with grim warning that the terrific onslaught against the rav ages of this disease in McCormick County must be waged more ear nestly than ever before because liv ing conditions during the economic slump have been conducive to its development and spread. Despite the wonderful accom plishments of the tuberculosis as sociations in fighting the disease for the past 29 years, tuberculosis kills twice as many people in the U. S. between the ages of 15 and 45 than does any other disease. It is still the deadly enemy of mankind and every person in McCormick County should be vitally interested in curbing it and in eventually stamp ing it out. Of the 1,159 deaths from tuber culosis in South Carolina last year eight were reported from McCor mick County, and 72 of the 11,592 listed active cases in the State are said to be in this county. If not for the sake of humanity and if only as a measure of self-preservation '•ertainly every citizen should feel it his duty to buy and use as many of the bright little stickers this year as his means will allow. Practically every penny of the money paid for the seals here will be used in locating and treating tubercular sufferers in this county. Letters containing a quantity of seals have been mailed to many citizens of McCormick and it is earnestly hoped that each. and every one will f£el it his or her patriotic duty to respond to the call whether it be by mail or >by person. McCormick County has already received special recognition in the State seal news for its organized plans. The head of the school in each community has been asked to con duct the sale in his or her partic ular community and it is hoped that each of these local chairmen will put the sale over to the best of his or her ability.
