Waging Great War Tuberculosis on In a news article issued today from the headquarters of the North Carolina Tuberculosis Asso ciation announcement is made that in Halifax County there were 46 deaths from tuberculosis last year and that at the present time there are eight times as many active open cases of tuberculosis, the majority of whom are taking no precautions whatever to keep from killing themselves and in fecting everyone they come in contact with; because in a great many instances they are not even aware that they have tuberculo sis. As a step toward correcting this condtion and saving the lives uselessly sacrificed to tuberculo sis the Association asks Mr. Aver age Citizen, "How Much Do You Care?" It is pointed out that "tubercu losis if no respecter of persons un less a high standard of resistance is maintained by keeping in good physical condition all the time; that tuberculosis is not hereditary as is generally believed and that the best check on your physical condition is a thorough looking over at regular intervals." All of which is true and good advice. The Association goes a step further and volunteers to send an examiner to this county who will spend as much time as required in giving a thorough physical exam ination for tuberculosis to anyone who is suspicious that they have tuberculosis ar.d wishes to know positively. This service is provided by the Association from receipts derived from the sale of tuberculosis Christmas Seals and no charge is made for the examination. The only requirement being that someone sufficiently interested make the preliminary arrange ments and provide a placi for the examinations. Let's address a request to the North Carolina Tuberculosis Association, Sanatorium, N. C, for the services of the specialist and uncover some of the work of our great foe tuberculosis and I then let us support this work by a generous purchase of Tubercu losis Christmas Seals when they are placed on sale at Thanks giving.

The Sunday schoob in Rosemary and Roanoke Rapids are being re quested to sing special songs, and the various organizations around town will send in the names oi tneir iavonte songs, so that these songs may be print ed on the program and we all may sing them. Begin to get yourselves, your family, and your friends ready for the big night! Come to the sing; you may hear an old favorite sogn you haven't heard for years you may hear a new song you'll like.
