“On Thanksgiving Day those well
known harbingers of health, the
colorful Christmas Seals, again will
go on sale. 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. We must not in any way
abate the fight against so appall-

our young people between the ages
of 15 and 30. 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

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

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

During the month of December,

tion for as much of the time as
possible has been found in the Soil
Conservation Service areas of the
state to be one of the best methods
of controlling erosion, and general
farm experience bears this out, says
County Agent R. 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
