FRANCIS For gix years your local Tuberculosis Association has been developing a program for better health generally and tuberculosis control specifically. It has worked through legislation and cooperation with public agencies, private organizations, and individuals. It is affiliated with the State 'Tuberculosis conference, the National Tuberculosis Association, and the International Union against Tuberculosis. Financed solely by the annual sale of Christmas Seals, the organization retains 80 per cent of the money raised locally, 14 per cent goes to the state association,, and 6 per cent to the national as Paul said to Mr. Ed: USE IT MYSELF Two friends met for the first time in years. "How's things?" /one asked. "I had a bad year last year," answered his friend. "My factory burned down, and I wasn't insured." "That's too bad," the first man sympathized. "How's your wife?"

PAUL WINKLES Watauga Insurance Agency NORTHWESTERN BANK BUILDING — PHONE AM 4-8S91 BOX 261 — BOONE, N. C. sociation. That .victories over TB are being achieved is shown by health statistics: Once known as the White Plaguf, TB killed 200 out of every lQO.OOO Americans in 1900. In 1895 the death rate was 9.1 per 100,000. This is dramatic progress, but a major problem still exists. Modern science is preventing death from tuberculosis, but it has not been so successful in preventing people from catching the disease. A major problem in controlling tuberculosis is the difficulty of discovering the disease early, since there may be no early symptoms. More than half of all cases are far advanced when discovered. Inevitably, before they were discovered they spread the infection to others. It is estimated that one third of the nation is infected with the germs that cause tuberculosis. About 290,000 Americans are believed to have active disease. A total of 990,000 with inactive disease need medical supervision to prevent relapse. Your local association has a board of directors of 12 representatives from Ashe county, 12 from Watauga eeunty and 6 from Alleghany county. Dr. R. H. Harmon of Boone Is this year's president. This group budgets the money, and plans the sctivities to meet the problems of tuberculosis in your county.
