sion.

Charleston, smd Burnett, of Spar-
tanburg, and Representative Lewis,
Horry; Dominick, of Newberry,
and Britton of Sumter, informed
Governor Blackwood the legislature
had completed its work.
* The governor replied with a mes
sage to both branches in which he
said: “I am deeply conscious that
you have been earnest and perse
vering in the discharge of your
duty.” .
“I recognize the difficult situa
tions that have confronted you in
your earnest efforts to solve the
serious problems of the state that
so deeply involve the welfare and
happiness of our people.”

penses, not provided in the 1933

Report Given On
Christinas Seal Sales
In Counties Of S. C.
U. 8. A. . . . Another season and new thrills ahead as well trained
teams in many leagues tilt the lid off this week and the chases for
pennants are dh. . . . Leading the parade, of course, are Manager William
(Memphis Bill) Terry (left), and his world champion New York Giants \
and Joe-Cronin (right), who leads his Washington, 1933 American
League champions, in the dash to win again.
An increase of over eight thou
sand dollars in the 1933 Christmas
Seal Sale over that of 1932 indi
cates that the people of Sou^h Car
olina, realizing the danger of tu
berculosis under the stress of the
depression, were determined to
support the South Carolina tuber
culosis association in its efforts to
reduce the tuberculosis death rate.
A complete report of the sale by
counties, just made available by
General C. P. Summerall, State
Chairman, shows a total of $34,-
725.78 as compared with $26,023.99
for the 1932 sale. These returns
entitle South Carolina to its usual
high standing of second place in
the states reporting from the
Southern Conference. The coun
ties showing the highest per capita
sales are Darlington with .07c and
Charleston with .056c.
Five per cent of the seal sale
fund goes to the National tubercu
losis association. The state asso
ciation will spend 38 per cent on a
program of health education, case
finding. tuberculosis nursing and
sanatorium promotion. Eighteen
local units will hold 57 per cent to
finance programs based upon the
tuberculosis needs in their coun
ties.
