Lives have been saved and facilities provided to com r. bat, tuberculosis, - but we have f not reached the place where we can be complacent in the fight." Blair, pointed out that TB can, and does, strike people of all f, ages. "Over 1,600 new cases were ' v Sound in North Carolina last Jfc Vyear 26 riew cases were found in our county. And, although , we can be thankful that . the deaith rate was only six per 100,000, TB kills more people v ': than allj cither : infectious dis eases combined," he said.

In elaborating on the need for Christmas Seal supported pro grams, Blairi contended' that' ne glecting F' any phase of the pre- TB control, program would invite disaster 'because, "TB- fa just as infectious A when undis covered as it ever was." He supported his contention by saying, "Modern medical treat ment has saved lives, but cases must be found to be treated. Tre atment today is superior to that of the past, .but there is no cer tain or permanent cure. Thus, helping the patient regain and maintain his health becomes in creasingly important as more and more patients escape death. Education, too must not, be neglected because we depend up on the educational process to win continued support for a vi tal program.
