Bulla, Wake County health officer, in Sunday's News <5e Observer, made the following state ment: "If we consider the peak years covering .the period of time from 1887 to 1933, with the death rate per 10,000 population, you will find the following figures. From a total of 4034 -per 10,000 population, with a white rate of 20.60 and a colored rate of 79.81 in 1887, to 14.96 per 10,000 population, white 6.28and colored 32.32 In 1933, you quickly see the great reduction In death during these years., The Christmas Seal Sale lias greatly helped this work cm and North Carolina club women have contributed generously of their time and money in helping, to combat this dread disease. The members of the Roxboro club have fallen In line this year, as they have for the past years and are gladly doing their share. Mr. O. T. Kirby, manager of the local theater, readily agreed to let the club place a booth in the lobby of the theater.
