For thirty years funds from the annual sale of these seals have been used in the nationwide campaign to cure and prevent tuberculosis. “Under the leadership of the Na tional Tuberculosis Association, state and local societies and com mittees in all parts of the United States conduct organized health programs in all the communities in which the seals are sold. Free clinics, nursing service, tuberculin testing, X-raying, rehabilitation, medical and social research are among the health protection meas ures that Christmas Seals help to support. This splendid service must be continued without curtailment. “We must wage with increased vigor our fight to eliminate this plague as one of the greatest foes to health.

A renewed and inten sified program must be put into effect. Attention must be focused to protect the health, of our young men and women whether in high schools and colleges or among skilled or unskilled industrial work ers. We must regard with the ut most viligance the health of all. “The aid of every American is needed in this cause. Tuberculosis is everybody’s problem. I therefore urge all to do their part generous ly in supporting the 31st annual Christmas Seal sale to be carried on between Thanksgiving and Christmas.” Unskilled industrial employees and young girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five must be given immediate attention in the nation-wide battle against tuber culosis, Surgeon General Thomas Parran said in discussing the ces sation of the decline in mortality from the disease. Dr. Parran added that people are too smug, too confident that tuber culosis is no longer a threat to the health of the nation and that re newed and intensive efforts are necessary for the prevention of the disease. Negroes and other racial groups, and boys and girls, partic ularly of high school age, also should be the center of preventive efforts, according to Dr. Parran. “Tuberculosis constitutes both a challenge and a threat; a challenge because there has been a cessation .n the mortality decline; a threat, because our lives are not secure against an invasion by this dis ease,” Dr. Parran said. “Perhaps we have been too smug—too con fident that this killer was in a fair way to be exterminated quickly and without too great an effort on our part. Now we are brought face to face with the fact that the de cline in tuberculosis mortality has, for the time being at least, been checked. This disturbing news has become available in preliminary re ports for the year 1936. “The cessation of the declining in tuberculosis mortality is note worthy. If later statistics confirm the indicated break in this disease, 1936 will be the first year since the world war, with the exception of 1926, that the mortality rate from tuberculosis in the United States has failed to decline. Pre liminary reports from 34 states for the first quarter of 1937 show a slight increase in the mortality from this disease, indicating that Number 29 Camp Bradley IN ews Camp Eradley, Dec. 4.—Assistant Supervisor McKinley spent ihe past week on the Long Cane attending the Little Fire Schools held at both camps and making a general in spection of the District. Elmer Talbert who was rushed to the Greenwood Hospital last Saturday night, has returned to camp and is much better. Foreman Frank Reece returned to Camp F-7 Saturday after spend ing a week at Camp F-6 on the Enoree District. Foreman Reece will begin doing some terracing work sometime within the near future. Francis Delaughter of Edgefield and Charles Williams and E. L. Hollingsworth of Bethany were transferred from the Winnsboro and Barnwell camps to Camp Bradley last Wednesday. The Little Fire Training School held at camp Thursday proved to have a very interesting and worth while program. After each of the foremen had explained the use of various fire tools to his section and each section had raked a fire line around an imaginary fire, every one present really began to enjoy the school. Fire was set in a heavy growth of Johnson grass and when the wind got behind it the flames would leap eight or ten feet in the air. After each section had extin guished a fire, hot-shot crews were picked and these five-man crews competed to see who could put ot(k a fire the quickest. Assistant Lead er Eargle proved himself to be the most efficient man in the Company with a back pump. All the men showed their willingness to move in on a hot fire and it is the opinion of all foremen that they will have what it takes to stop a forest fire. The entire company regrets that Mr. S. B.

D. Suber. Summer cover crops that were left on the land are still doing a good job of erosion control, even though the plants are dead, the agent states. Particularly striking at this time of the year, for ex ample, is the cover which a good growth of lespedeza provides. The roots bind the soil and the dead leaves and plants protect the ground against the beating action of rain and the erosive effect oi run-off water. He recommends leaving lespedeza on the land two years wherever possible, as this greatly increases the value of lespedeza for the inches or more than 74 inches in erosion control because the last height, white, without dependents Fleet for duty.
