n Speaks Sale of Steals! Dr. Paul McCain was a pfcoin the fight against tuberln North Carolina and in part responsible for the strides made ftainst the disease. It is fitting that Mrs. McCain is state chairman of the Christmas seal campaign. Following is he* statement: "We are coming again to that" time of year when our thoughts turn to the Tuberculosis Christmas 8eal. This rear we have not o»ly a pretty seal but a very suggestive one—a team of oxen pulling a sled of Christmas trees. What a 'wonderful thought— Teamwork. "Teamwork has saved 4,000,000 lives in the United States since the organization of the National Tuberculosis Association in 1904. It has saved 4,605 lives each year in North Carolina. Conservative figures say each death costs the state $3,000— thus, a saving of $4,000,000 per year. This same oooperation has brought about an 80 per cent reduction in the death rate in the |last \0 years. Teamwork in sell-| lug Christmas Seals and la Tuberculosis Education has had a] great part In this light. The splendid cooperation between tuberculosis leaders and governmental authorities In the providing of diagnostic facilities and beds for those needing treatment has been very important. We are proud of the showing of North Carolina in 1946—28.5 deaths per 100,000 against a national average of 35.9 deaths per 160,000. Another important facor in this overall teamwork picture Is the part played In the fight by those who have had the disease themselves."
