has been progressing favorably.
The death rate . from this disease
has decreased 146 per 100,000 since
1900. Twenty years .ago tuberculosis
was the leading cause of death,
today six diseases rank ahead of it.
During 1936 the nation and state
death rates from tuberculosis were
seen to have increased, 'ihis means
that the fight must go on.
It takes money to win a battle,
and the revenue derived from the
sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals
has been a big factor in helping
to decrease the tuberculosis rate
throughout the United States. We1
do not want millionaires to tinance
this fight. We want all the people
to do it, for only in so doing, will
they learn how to help themselves.
Each year at this time it is a
way to make the people think for
a short while that health is some
thing to be sought after and work
ed for with all their hearts. The
Christmas Health Seal is not just
a way to raise money.' .It is a way
in which everyone who can help
to protect himself and his children
and the coming generation battle
against the foe, which has been
confronting them through the ages.
The challenge is ours!
Seal Good for Everybody
Let us borrow from that great
letter which introduced the Health
Seal to America. We know that
the Christmas seal is not good for
postage, but that every other way

said. , t .
The governor will have the bene
fit of facts obtained by the paroles
of iice in an investigation over a
period of years, Gill said.
in conducting the hearing, the
commissioner added, Governor
Hcey is "making an exception be
cause of several exceptional fea
tures of the case."
Sheriff A. B. Slagle, of Macon
cgl.ui, So.icitor John M.' Queen
and Superior Court Judge J. H.
Clement have been invited to at
tend the hearing, Gill said.
Woods and Stamey, the latter a

est pumpkins ever seen in Macon
county.

glad thought for little children
with every' whack; for the post
man who delivers it with a smile as
broad and as good as Christmas
itself; and, last of all, for the
great cause which is unique in the
annals of history, the nation-wide
educational campaign against tuber
culosis which this year celebrates
its 31st anniversary. 'The. fignt
must go on ! Everyone must have
a part. Knowledge is our great
est s weapon. '
The health seals were introduced
in Alacon county for the first time
last year. The county receives 75
per cent of the money that is col
lected lor seal sales. This money
goes for the care of-. the people
who are ill with tuberculosis.
Letters containing the seals were
sent out to a few people over tiic
county last year. There was no
appointed chairman for the cam
paign, and as the result, the ac
tual sum received from the sales
is not definitely known, yet we do
know that the amount for this
county was much smaller in com
parison than in other counties
throughout the state. This year
we are - fortunate in having a
chairman in Highlands and Frank
lin to check and report the amount
this county will receive for this
great cause. We want each and
every citizen of Macon county,
who has a spare penny, to help
support this campaign and make
it a success ! '
