"Although we consider it practi cally over now, it will require pro bably several more weeks in order to get complete and conclusive re ports in from all our workers," they announced. "Reaching or nearing this year's goal will be exceptionally dif ficult," said Derrick, "because the budget was increased 20 per cent over last year and we experienced a recession in business around the first of the year. Too, the Inter national Resistance Company, which is the largest contributing organization in the county, has fewer employees than last year and that has meant $1,000 less to the campaign," he asserted. "They use the payroll deduction plan at IRC and have a splendid average donation per employee. Shadowline, Inc., made a better effort this year and that helped take up some of the slack, but a $1,000 drop at one place has been hard to overcome," he said.

He added, however, that more good curing weather is needed, as some of the leaf is "a little green around the edges." It is expected that the burley will be coming in at a faster rate each day prior to the opening sale. The local market, in common with other markets in the burley belt, will again operate on a sched ule of 3Vi hours per day, five days a week, and will be allowed to sell up to 1260 baskets per day per set of buyers.

The money is needed to buy elothing for patients, transport them to the sanitorium, buy medicine for tuberculosis patients, help pay for hospitalization, and help in any other way necessary. The Christmas Seal dollars are spent on the annual chest x-ray unit which comes to the county each year; to pay for x-rays for people unable to pay for them. Part of the money is spent on edu cation material for an educational program. The money is used to meet whatever problem on tuber culosis that exists in Watauga county. Twenty percent of the money is spent on research ? to find better methods of treating tuberculosis, discover effective drugs and a successful vaccine.
