Dry Climate Is Not A Cure-Ail For T. B. . By MRS CARL FRANCIS Not ao lone ago people thought a chance of climate wai Just the thinf they needed to fight off tuberculosis. Even today, some people with active tuberculosis leave their homes for the warm, dry air of the Southwest They hope they will And a magic aire in the air or In the heat of the desert sun. But they won't. This belief is <me of the linger ing superstit ium about tubercu losis, like the misconception that TB la inherited or "runs in the family." " It isn't inherited. You aren't born with tuberculosis. TB is an infectious disease, spread from person to person, from the sick to the well. It sometimes seems to run in families because one member of the family passes his germs to another. It is true that TB germs ? tubercle bacilli? may be killed County Agent Gives Pointers Arc you ready for the spring planting season? W. E. Tuckwil ler, Watauga county (arm agent point* out that ' ere is not much time left to condition your farm equipment before field work itarta. Timely aervicing of all farm machinery will reduce acci dent! as well as costly field breakdowns. Poorly conditioned equipment is irritating, fatiguing and inefficient. Farm machinery repairs should begin with a thorough inspection. The National Safety Council's re minder list of things to check, in cludes hitches, seats, clutches, brakes, and other controls as well as unguarded revolving parts such as gears, chains, shafts. Check your fuel line and wiring systems. Leaky fuel lines or haz ardous wiring can easily lead to a bad fire. It Is also important to remove dirt, trash and grease from platforms, pedals, foot rests or steps if safe footing is to be assured when operating equip ment. Careful operators will also take time to equip tractors with fire extinguishers and secure holders for grease guns or other servic ing tools carried on the tractor Loose accessories may lead to' falls or other casualties. A secure step or grab bar may also avoid ? fall in getting on or off the tractor. Specikl care should be token in checking home made labor saving equipment for accident hazards. The operator's safety is often overlooked in building this type of equipment. New Books At County Library Recent additions at the Public Library in Boone, as announced by Librarian Homer Brown, are as follows: ?The Hidden Flower," by Pearl Buck; "The Balance Wheel," by Taylor Caldwell; ' Adventures in _ Two Worlds," A. J. Cronin; "Giant," by Edna Ferber; "Queen's Gift," by Inglis Fletcher and "Better Vegetables for Your Home Garden," by John H. Me lady.

But In tuberculosis of the lungs, the fun can be harmful. Sun bathing u not recommended for pulmonary tuberculosis patients. There are other food reasons for not following the will-o' the-wisp of the sun or the moun tains in connection with treat ment for tuberculosis. The pro cess of recovering from tubercu losis, under the best conditions, is a long, difficult one. It helps to be in a hospital near your home, since you can then see your family and friends while you are under treatment. Time and money are both im portant factors in recovery from TB. The sooner you can enter a tuberculosis hospital the quicker your recovery is likely to be. A long hospital stay costs more money than most people can af ford, but every state and many large communities have tubercu losis hospitals supported entire ly or principally by tax funds. Since you must be a legal resi dent of a state to enter a state TB hospital, it is obvious that moving to another state when you are ill will not help. Legal residence requirements vary from state to state, and in parts of the Southwest run as high as three years. Why run the risk of being stranded far from home with a serious illness? If you have tuberculosis, the best advice is to enter a sanatorium in your own state. IN MEMOMAM Of Mary Lou Mut Who departed thU world March 20. ltS3. God gave us Mothers, and tried to be (air, But when He gave us ours, we got more than our share; There was never a day too busy (or her, Nor the night too dark, or the way too rough. She was always ready to lend a hand To help some feeble feet to stand; jMBr spent her days, as all mo thers should, When finished with work, she would read God's Book. She loved the Bible, and gave God His praise. For such wonderful love, and supplying her needs. We loved her so much, and she was so good, But I guess the angels surely .thought she was, too, For one day we found she was going to leave; It all seemed so sudden, we could scarcely believe That God would take Mother, and leave us to grieve. But now that she's gone to join Heaven's great band. I hope that some day we can all shake her hand. She told me one day as we talked face *to face,' "When inside those Gates, I'll shout all over the Place;" So now she's enjoying her great reward That's given to all who are in the Lord. So keep looking up, keep trusting His Name, And some day up there, we'll see Mother again. VIRGINIA MAST, Vilas, N. C. Take Home A Case Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. SrRUCE FINK, M. C - , !J.
