C., April 12.—More than tw r o million dollars is now available for expenditures of the 6,500 South Carolina farm families, according to R. F. Kolb. State Di rector. Farm and home plans have been completed and loan agree ments perfected requiring $2,110,- 000. Rehabilitation farm families are busily engaged putting in their crops, making purchases, and ar ranging for deliveries of all man ner of necessities incidental to farming. Work stock, livestock, poultry, materials, implements, items of subsistence, etc., are being secured. Thousands of rehabilita tion farm families are happily striving to reach another step up ward in their rehabilitation pro grams. “We have done well in the past,” Mr. Kolb said, “and South Carolina rehabilitation families have great expectations from this season’s crops. I am confident that, with average weather conditions, this year will reward thousands of re habilitation farmers with success ful harvest that will send them a long way up the rehabilitation lad der.” Rehabilitation loans are made to deserving farm families, whose oth er sources of credit were exhaust ed, on the basis of carefully work ed out farm and home plans, pre pared by rehabilitation county farm and home supervisors and farm heads, in cooperation with county agricultural agents. In this way the government backs its loans with supervision which acts in a way as security in addition to the usual crop leins and chattel mort gages on equipment and animals purchased with the money loaned. The success of this work is at tested by the fine repayment rec ord of last year. 1XJ- Card Of Thanks For every expression of sympathy extended us during the illness and it the death of our husband and father we are extremely grateful. Each one helped to lighten our great burden and it is our prayer that God continue his tender m?r- t cies to each of you. Mrs. C. A. Gilbert, j And Children. Camp Bradley News Camp Bradley, April 10.—During the past week four of the oldest men in the company have packed up and gone. James, leader of No. 1 Section, has been enrolled in the corps for -almost four years and since coming to Camp Bradley has established himself as one of the best road and fire bosses in camp. He is now employed in the textile plant in his home town. Peed, has been a member of Company 1449 for three years and the leader of No. 2 Section for the past year. His special work has been with heavy equipment and road building and he will be missed by Foreman Tompkins and his crew. Hardegree, enrolled in this company three and one half years ago when it was at Tate, was leader of No. 2 Section for a year and became Act ing First Sergeant when the Modoc Side Camp was established. Upon returning to Bradley he became First Sergeant of the entire com pany. All these men held key posi tions in their company and will be missed, but it is a characteristic of the CCC that no matter how good a man is or how efficient he has carried on his job that there is another good man to step into his place. Rochester is now carrying on James’ duties at the rock quar ry. Hodge is acting as Leader of No. 2 Section and Fain is Acting First Sergeant. Superintendent Allen, Lieutenant Lipscomb and Educational Advisor Dunnagin addressed the P. T. A. of Troy one night this past week on the functions of the Forest Service, the Army and the Educa tional Department in the CCC camp. The company regrets that the weather of last Sunday prevented our friends from visiting the camp on the fourth anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corps. How ever, in the late afternoon a few’ local friends visited camp and we were very glad to have the Honor able C. A. Mays and Doctor Amo Coleman as dinner guests. The company regrets to hear that Foreman Frank Reece is to be transferred to the new camp at Modoc. Camp F-7 loses a good man and Camp F-ll gains one one. The same is true of Clerk Hall who is going to Camp F-ll on Monday to take over his new duties as Camp Clerk at Modoc. ixt Mantoux Test For Tuberculosis Valuable And Interesting living and dead t as attenuated strains cf germs or as extract of the dead germ. They were to be given by injection, inoculation o: by the stomach route. These ef forts have been fruitless as a cure and were based on the theory of, j “The hair of the dog is good for the bite”. Many experiments though have shown that prote'n extract ot killed germs when in jected into a person who has tu berculosis that a reaction occurs at the sight of the injection. This reaction does not occur in persons free from tuberculous infection. This reaction was seized upon by the profession as a diagnostic aid, especially in early cases. By this means we are enabled to diagnose a tuberculous infection before symptoms appear. This is most val uable as often with some patients when symptoms appear they do again disappear. This diagnostic aid enables us to institute treat ment early so far as to prevent developing in adult life, when we are most needed to meet eco nomic strains of life. In this case also we can be forearmed after be ing forewarned. This is one of the many aids in diagnosis, others being: History, symptoms, physical signs, X-Ray evidence and exclusion of other causes that might produce similar conditions. The other aids and diagnosis are useful in later tuberculosis but are not sufficiently early to give us quick and valuable warning. The reaction is not severe, never does any material harm to the pa tient and-is-never disagreeable to the patient more than an ordinary needle prick: They are classed from a one plus to four plus, de pending on the amount of swelling and redness at the cite of the in jection. The one plus may not be more than one half size of a dime, the four plus reaching the size of a half* dollar. The injection is made by a sharp short needle just under the top layer of the skin and is made un der clean and aseptic condition. The reading is taken forty eight hours after the injection. The idea of this test besides establishing an early diagnosis is to find who have tuberculosis germs and who is re ceiving tuberculosis from those who have it and to whom the in fection may be transmitted. By these means we hope within a generation to exterminate tuber culosis and relate it to the class of has been, such as smallpox, yellow fever, typhoid fever and other diseases which have been dis astrous to mankind in the past. The incidence and mortality of the Great White Plague has al ready been greatly reduced as re sult of this and other enlightment along this line and this particular disease. We now have located at McCor mick, Miss Eloise Miller, Tuber culosis Nurse, working under the auspices of the Tuberculosis As-, sociation and it is my earnest de sire that the entire County cooper ate with her in this important work.
