Fight Tuberculosis
Appeals to the citizens of McCor
mick County to purchase tubercu
losis Christmas seals this year have
been made by the chairmen, Mrs.
C. 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.
