The same dauntless spirit that led to the discovery of America four-and-a-half centuries ago is characteristic of the current na tionwide fight against tubercu losis, according to Mrs. J. H. McNeill, county - Seal Sale chair man. "Americans enjoy the reputa tion of fearlessness in the face of any enemy," said Mrs. McNeill. 'Less spectacular, perhaps, than military victories, but equally im portant, have been the gains which Americans have made a gainst such a death-dealing di sease as tuberculosis. The campaign against tubercu losis in this country, she said, was no accident hut was thfte result: of the determination of a small I but representative group of peo ple to conquer a disease which | was the leading cause of death In this country 1&-1904 when the National Tuberculosis Associ ation was founded. "The campaign launched a gainst tuberculosis in 1904 with the founding of the National Tu berculosis Association," she con tinued, "was the first organized nationwide attack on a single major cfisease in this country. "Despite difficulties in ihe early days, leaders in the move ment persevered. Today, 3,000 associations throughout yie coun try are affiliated with the NTA and are united with it in a na tionwide attack on tuberculosis. "Since 1900 the death rate from tuberculosis in this country has been forced down 85 per cent, yet this disease even today kills nearly 1,000 persons a week. The fight against it must continue, in the dauntless spirit characteristic of Americans, un til this disease enemy is finally conquered. "The earnest desire of the people tp conquer this common enemy is shown in the work of tnousanas 01 volunteers an oyer the nation who aid the tubercu losis association in their' com munities,'' Mrs. McNeill conclud ed. "It is evident, too, in the en thusiastic support given the Christmas Seal Sale, conducted each year to raise tunds tor the fight against tuberculosis." Mrs. McNeill pointed out that proceeds from the sale of Christ mas Seals here are the sole sup port of the Wilkes Tuberculosis Association, and that the associ ation's 1950 program depended on the success of the 1949 Seal Sale which will be conducted from Nov. 21 to Dec. 25. o ?- - Columbus County's first offi cial "ton litter"?a litter of pigs weighing a ton or more at six months of age?has just been produced by Victor Soles, Route 1, Clarendon, a member of the Williams veterans' class.
