But the financial record is not the only feature of that report. The following paragraph, foi instance, is worthy of eonsidera ti.Qn.-all. over-South Carolina, and all oyer the United States: "During the year the development of the park for colored citizens on the' Green Swamp Road was completed and the park was ioimany opened cm august i.utnj with appropriate exercises. The park was .given in memory of the colored soldiers who served in the World War. A baseball park has been developed, a flowing well installed, and a swimming pool constructed.

This is oUp Annual Festival. Ours because to have a fail, we must have the cooperation of the people in the various communities of the State. We must have an attractive program which will draw people from the four "corners" of South Carolina. ... We believe, from what we have seen that the management of the Negro Fair has been working sys. tematicaiiy xor a Dig ian -ently, they are going to see unusual results. fThere is much pleasure in coming to the gala week in Columbia Here is the place to meet o 1 d friends, see football classics and get away from the old scenes around home. Come to the fair and have a real Vacation with the big crowd that will be in Columbia. IH Y CHRISTMAS SEALS FOR ECONOMIC REASONS " Next month the agencies prc/mulirur the Christmas Seal Sale will organize a machinery in hand ling seals and in enlightening the people on prevention of the Tubercular 'disgPU*- which is a ravaging Epidemic among Negro people. For the past few years we have contributed approximately $4,500 annualty to the Anti-Tuberculosis Association by purchasing Christ mas Seals. This is fin averageiof less than $100 per county. However the effort is commendable, and shows that the field agents in this work are gradually educating our people to envision the need , of carrying on this work uritTT the annual income frcrm the field is nothing less than $10,000. There is much economy in livr t > t fe ; ing results to come thru the Christ lnuc T<\ luu/ii) uijlh wum wnpvr a v uv^iir lriiir sickness is expensive;, and the! longer it lasts the more the expense on the family of the sick and on the Stale also. Sick peer, pie are not in anyway assets, they are heavy liabilities to be carried by others. We must ac.ept the factual infcarnation that tuberculosis strives mere among Negroes than among other races. " i.nia lr- run true uniy decuu'rc we at e black oeogle--but bet ause of thriving conditions fourd among he majority of colored people. There may be two main reason? for these conditions: In the first place, the disease spreads because of ignorance, in the second place, the landlords otfer no improvement in living conditions for their tenants. -The houses rented by most" Negro families are dis?asebreeding places where most any >f the biological diseases thrive tnd spread. The property owners are largely responsible for' the sptead of diseases which keep at ;i low level the earning power erf hundreds of Negro families. ec'ty.
