PAGE TWO HEALTH FOR Ml THE VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATIONS AGAINST TB At the turn of the century, tuber culosis led the causes of death in this country, with a death rate of 194 per 100,000 population. Because of the seriousness of the tuberculosis problem, a group of doc tors and laymen formed the National Tuberculosis Association in 1904 and launched a ntdionwide battle against tuberculosis. cooperatively with health departments and other agencies, the NTA and its affiliates throughout the nation have since battled relentlessly agadnst tubercu losis. 'Progress has been made since the NTA was organized, with tuberculosis forced down from first to seventh place among causes of death since the turn of the century. Yet tuberculosis today takes approximately 40,000 lives in the United States annually, killing at the rate of one person every 13 minutes. Tuberculosis can and does kill at any age, and leads all di seases as a cause of death in the age group from 15 to 35. The voluntary tuberculosis associ ations affiliated with the NTA—now! numbering 3,000 —cany on their year- j round campaign against tuberculosis on four principal fronts: health edu cation, case finding, rehabilitation, and medical research. With health education, the associa tions reach as many people in the com munity with information about tuber culosis, how it can be prevented, for instance, and what the people of the community can do to bring it under complete control. The associations also participate in tuberculin testing and X-ray programs to find the estimated 250,000 people with “unknown” tuberculosis, so that diagnosis can be made and treatment begun in an early stage when the di- 1 sease is earliest to cure. Services to help tuberculosis patients plan and train for useful living after medical discharge are also an important part of the anti-tuberculosis program. The NTA and its affiliates also help support medical research on tubercu loiis, principally through financial grants and fellowships for recognized scientists. This year grants were made to 26 scientific investigators in all parts of the country. All the work of the tuberculosis associations is made possible through the sale of Christmas Seals, sold an nually at this time of year. The 1950 Seal Sale, which opened Novem ber 20, will continue until December M~ ' * m m g - s 0. g In extending our greeting to you, we'd be g m M 0 neglecting something mighty importont if we ✓ 0 m 0 SJK foiled to include a word of oppreciotion for jj* uw g g the friendly eooperotion ond sincere good g m m 0 witi of those we serve 0 m ■ m m if 0 We soy ot once "Merry Orieteeos" ond / ; M * Jiff// j| , ' Thw *p i fy# i i I g; * #: j* | CHAS.

The club members have found, says Faison, that improved practices help them do a better job of farming and thereby increase their income for pro ject work. This is particularly true, he says, in the production of corn and tobacco. Some 130 boys carrying com pro jects tMs year produced 140 acres of com, and seven made yields of more than 100 bushels per acre. Twenty one others made yields of 76 to 100 bushels to the acre.
