President Hoover attempt to
keep it a secret. On the oth
er hand he gave it out to the
press that everyone? v might
know that his boy had tuber-
'Y '
culosis.
While President Hoover
may have been in error in ve
toing the bill passed by Con
gress putting Muscle Shoals
into operation; while he may
have erred in his various and
sundry attempts to stem the
tide of depression, and while
he may have erred in other
things, he was everlastingly
right in handling the case of
tuberculosis when it appeared
in Herbert, Jr., and this ought
to be an example to every man,
woman and child throughout
the United States.
Again Herbert Hoover, Jr.,
the people of North Carolina
welcome you and your family
and wish for you a speedy re
covery.
THE NORTH CAROLINA TU-
BERCtJtOSIS ASSOCIATION
HERBERT HOOVER,
JR. IN ASHEVULE
Every citizen of North Caro
lina extends a cordial welcome
to the President's son who, is
making his home in Asheville
during a course of treatment
for tuberculosis.
President Hoover has al
ways been interested in the
fight against tuberculosis. He
has always bought Christmas
Seals during the Annual Seal
Sale from Thanksgiving to
Christmas. Mrs. Hoover has
done likewise and they have
been gracious enough to lend
their influence to the Seal Saie
and to the work of the Nation
al and State Tuberculosis
Ass'ns.
While we all regret that
Herbert Hoover.Jr., should
become ill with tuberculosis,
it brings a number of lessons
to us:
(1) That tuberculosis is no
respector of persons. The high
and the low, the rich and the
poor, the learned ancl thjj jn-
learned are all subject tojts
ravages undeJ given circum
