CHAMPIONSHIP FORM?SHE HOPES
Chatham Urges Carolinians
Jo Buy Christmas Seals
In his Christmas Seal message,'
Thurmond Chatham, Congressman
from the 5th North Carolina Dis
trict and the 1953 state Christmas
Seal Chairman, urges all North
Carolinians to support a vigorous
campaign against tuberculosis.
Mr. Chatham's message, opening
the 47th annual campaign, states:
"Every citizen of- North Caro
lina can be justly proud of the
steady progress made against tu
berculosos during the last 30
years. Due to diligent efforts in
uncovering unknown cases and
great advances in medical re
search, the death rate from tuber
culosis has declined tremendous
ly.
But the situation is not as fav
orable as these facts would lead
us to believe. Tuberculosis is still
the major public hearth communi
cable disease problem. There are
400,000 active cases of tuberculosis
in the United States and an esti
mated 150,000 unknown cases ?
150,000 people unwittingly spread
ing this dread "disease among their
family, friends anci community.
Here we have a very real prob
lem with two practical means of
solution:
1. Find these cases early, effect
an early cure, and save the tax
payers money.
2. Restore the patient to a use
ful and happy life so that he can
contribute his fair share to the
social and economic activities of
his community.

is Association and its affiliates

out these plans, and I have every
confidence that the people of
North Carolina will weigh the
i facts and give with a generous
| heart. Every dollar donated is a
I dollars' worth of protection for
you and your family. We have
solved much greater problems,, and
1 know if we all give together now
to the 1953 Christmas Seal Sale
we can eventually obtain the ob
jective toward which we are work
ing?the complete eradication of
tuberculosos in North Carolina.
I urge you all to give now, knd
give generously. Protect yourself
and your family by ridding North
Carolina of this dreaded health
menace."

Advantages Are Noted
In Dwarf Apple Trees
GRAFTON, Mass^tAP) ? Fifty
dwarf apple trees on a fruit farm
here may offer a preview of the
orchard of the future. a
S. Lothrop Davenport, the own
er, thinks that more and more ap
ple farmers will turn to the dwarf
tree as an economy measure.
"The dwarf trees are propagat
ed from shoots," he explained.
"They stay small in size, which
means smaller costs for the labor
of spraying, pruning and picking."
He said experiments showed
that the trees bore at a younger
age and, if anything, their apples
were bigger, than those on standard
size trees.
He said that the beauty of the
dwarf stock was that you could
graft or bud,any variety of apple
onto the dwarf root. So your dwarf
orchard can produce the apple of
your choice.
The dwarf appie trees grow to
be about the size of peach trees.
Self Treatment Perilous
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? ^elf
treatment of skin rashes and
itches can often make troubles
worse, firing up allergic-type re
actions to the remedies used, two
Indiana physicians report. By
patch test, they found that one
fourth of a group of patients had
skin troubles caused by one of a
succession of remedies they'd
used. The report is by Drs. L. E.
Gaul and G. B. Underwood in the
Indiana State Medical Association
Journal.
