Telephone 4523 Saturday, December 21, 194(1 For 52 weeks the Palmetto Lead"r has been a visitor to the homes of its many readers, and hundreds of non-subscribers have purchaser this paper from the news, stands The year now comes to a close and t>or readers and many friends will "have passed through the Christmas season before the next issue of The Leader comes from th-3 press. We have many reasons to bf proud of the fine support and business-like - cooperation receiver from those who pay their sub scriptrons, those ^who buy the paper from -the- news?trgenciesT~a~"rto the other group who buy advertising space (the life of the paper) and those who bring thip jods to our press room. These groups referred to above number several, thousand people but the large number of people who see and read this newspaper is not known. However. The Palmetto Leader wishes for all \ MERRY CHRISTMAS. THE ST. LUKE CLUB The St. Luke Club is sponsoring a good cause in that the members have been soliciting gifts for the unfortunate people of St. Luke's Episcopal church in particular and the public in general. The club expoets to distribute baskets this Christmas?though in a small way .v but wit-h the same spirit, meaning and technic as is^ornrby the Good Fellows and other institutions engaged for a spread of happiness - 75 nd goodwiil during the Christmas season in Columbia. We stjll have'among us the jobless, the poor and the unfortunate. """ These people need the help of the _ more fortunate people in the community. We hope the efforts -^>f the iSt. Luke Club will be of service to many and that those who have not contributed may do so now. Mr. I. Harry Goodwin, 701 Richland St., is president of the St. Luke club and Mr. I. Q. Gaines is secretary. TWO BARS ON THE CROSS The double-barred cross is strikingly symbolical of . the anti-tuberculosis crusade in this country As clearly defined as the two bar? on the cross are the twG main principles of tuberclosis control. These two principles can be stat;L,_. ed in a few words. First, find the person who has tuberculosis." Seccond, prevent the spriad of disease to others. Two such short statements are easy tn make. But putting those statements into effect is not easy. However, we know what to do. We know how to drt it. But actually doing it is the perpetual probIawi * ICIII. The first princpile?Find the Person Who has the Disease?is not a matter of diagnosing who looks sick. Tuberculosa, an insidious scoufrflre, hides behind apparently healthy looks for months and does Uts destructive wor^c. Finally, of course, symptoms api-. pear, and the victim is forced to ^seek medical help. By that time X & "though, the diseate it entrenched fe-f ' t . t - - -? in the body. The time to find tuberculosis is before symptoms appear. Early tuberculosis can be cured. The earlier it is found, the easier and quicker it is to cure. Advanced tuberculosis is difficult to cure and requires expensive years of inactivity and treatment. The X i ray will find tuberculosis in time to cure it. The second principle?Prevent the Spread of the Disease to Others? is also far easier to say than accomplish. 'During the months when tuberculosis is entrenching itself in the body unknown to the victim, the disease is spreading to others. Early diagnosis vs imperative if we are to check the spread of the disease. Hence, the two principles become part of the same thing, as. do the two bars become part of the cross. The two principles are farreaching. Thus, we can see the extent of the fight facing the Nat i o n a 1 Tuberculosis Association ind its more than 1.600 i ffiliated associations throughout the country. Our Christmas Seal dollars. are the sole support of the figl\t "that is being waged for us?to ;ave our lives. When we buy Christina.-? Seals I we are not 'giving' our money to help"-anyone else. We might a3 : well face that fact. Our Christmas ^eal doll; rs an- rot given t0 charity. They are money invested in our , >wn health. Tuberculosis is a high ly infectious, disease. Thousands and thousands of persons have the disease and do not know it No one is safe until all are safe from tuberculosis. t KERSHAW NEWS It has been many i moon since ve have been heard from througl these columns. We have been silent but "not inactive. A new and pro . gressive spirit has taken hold of ' all concerned in community activities. | The Christmas Seal drive, undei 'the direction of Prof. Neal, Mr. D B. Dreakford, and Mr. James An thony, local directors, is arousing much interest. The people are be ginning to realize its import! nee and are contributing nicely. The teachers are working every i plan to get the children educates ' up to the part they must play in order to conquer this much dreaded enemy of mankind. Mr. Neal and his committee have the program so well planned that every individual will be reached . The' school and religious organizations (churches) are in charge of chairman Neal, the Negro business establishments are workeJ by Mr. Dreakford, while Mr. An tljony is handling the domestic ; servants and public workers. ' A community singing was ha-1 j at the school Sunday afternoon . in interest of the Seal sale drives under the sponsorship of Misses | Webber end Gregg. This program ' was enriched with a very inspiring and appropriate address by Rev. E. E. Riley of Lancaster, who is county chairman of Seal sale drive among Negroes. Quite a nice, little ; sum was realized from this effort. Other programs will be had before the drive closes. Miss Jackson and the 7th gri.de class are working hard on a pro gram in interest of the drive for Thursday night, December 12th.
