Letter Reprinted A letter prepared by the Sou thern Pines branch of,the Moore County Tuberculosis association, sent out with each lot of seals, presents the appeal effectively, ■with a preview of 1948 plans. Printed at The Pilot during an extremely busy time (in the mi(Jst of last week’s Resort Is sue) it missed being proofread, and some typographical errors cropped up. The Pilot is happy to make amends, and also to further a cause to which it heartily sub scribes, by reprinting the letter in full. Dear Friends:— Your generous response to our appeal in the past convinces us of your approval of the efforts being put forth to combat the in roads of Tuberculosis in our County and especially in South ern Pines. The current year has produced two active cases as compared with ’46 during which not one case developed. However, there is some comfort in the knowledge that neither of these cases had its origin here, fortunately both cases were discovered promptly. Again “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty” from this fearful disease. This committee has arranged for a motorized fluoroscope to vis it Southern Pines when every child and adult in our two schools, east and west, will be ex amined free by doctors who are specialists. At that time all our citizens will be urged to take ad vantage of this valuable oppor tunity. The enclosed Seals are $1.00 per sheet. Please use them gener ously that the necessary preven tive measures and the watchful ness required and assistance of active cases may continue. Rem ember 75 per cent of every dollar given is spent for Tuberculosis control in Moore County. You will be pleased to note your committee is to have, the help of Mrs. McCain with all her knowledge . as to the work in which we are engaged. May we express our apprecia tion of your support. Very sincerely, Moore County Tuberculosis Ass’n. Southern Pines Branch A. B. Patterson, Chairman Preston T. Kelsey, Treasurer. Committee A. B. Patterson Miss Birdilia Bair Mrs. Paul P.

The A merican Informal A New Style in Furniture—For the way we live today. The day when most people spent most of their lives in one' house on the same street in the same town has given way to today’s patterns of change. . . across the continent or across the world, from city to country, from apartment to house, or vice versa. Today’s furniture must be planned for more than one pur pose. .. or place... or space. American Informal fills the need, it is flexible furniture. . . for whatever comes. If today you have American Informal in your dining room and living room, and next year you decide to build a house with a living-dining room, every piece will find its place in the new scheme of things. Because all furniture is an investment . . . and one you don’t make lightly. . . you want to be sure and see the very newest in furniture, American Informal by Tomlinson. Hallum Furniture Co.
