Tuberculosis is a subject that I am well acquainted with Life teaches us that experience is our best teacher, and I have been taught well. You can learn a lot from a mas ter who holds you in power for 10 years. 8 months and 20 days That is just the length of time that T0 has controlled my life. ' In the heginring 1 was sent to our State Sanatorium in McCain. However at that time, and with very little to offer in the way of treatment except bed-rest, a pa tient with a diagnosis of far ad vanced. active, tuberculosis was sent back home, to make a place for someone else who might have a chance of recovery within a year Faithful Car* The tender loving care of my dear wife and my children have done wonders for me. Through these years, I have lived in almost complete isolation, the faithful, tender hands of my wife answer ing my needs. I have watched my baby daugh ter grow up, through the windows of my room or from my doorway. I have watched my only son and oldest daughter, working through the years to maintain their own homes, and coming home to help when needed. I guess that two of the greatest lessons that I have learned through the years about tuberculosis are first, the fact that it can be cured in almost every case, if it is found in time. Tuberculosis is not like other diseases, it does not show on the outside as a skin infection does, nor on the inside as appendi citis. In the beginning there is no pain, no shortness of breath, no fatigue, no hemorrhage, no posi tive sputum. X-Ray Essential All of this comes later, after the disease is well established. I have I found that x-ray is the only way to find this disease in its early stages. The only safe time to find it. Second, I have learned that tu berculosis is contagious and is passed from one patient to ano ther. That is why I can so freely isolate myself from others. You see I love them, I wouldn't have another person go through this as I have done, for anything on earth. Our radio and newspaper have meant a great deal to me, for I can keep up with the activities of my county and enjoy them through the eyes and voices of others. Occasionally there are items which distress me, such as strikes, careless and reckless driving, fa thers and mothers forsaking their children, divorces, etc. Things Hoped For As 1 read these things I just wonder how great it must be on a warm bright Sunday to be able to drive a ear. to take my family to church and bow my head in uniaon with my deareit friends and neigh bors in a prayer of Thanksgiving lot the many blessings reeeived from a kind heavenly father. Although I am so very grateful for the privileges 1 have had, see ing my young daughter grow up to womanhood. I efttmrs think, as I read of fathers forsaking their children, how wonderftd it would have been to have held her close in ray arras on cold winter nights and read her a Bible story, heard her prayers, or tucked her in bed. These wonderful privileges have only been mine in my dreams. When I read of strikes and hear of men quitting their good fobs because they get angry with the boss, I just wish it were possible for me to make them understand what a wonderful privilege it is to WORK, to earn the daily bread for the family they love. While other men desire and de mand higher-paid jobs and shorter working hours, there are men and women who are sick with TB. We desire and pray too. We pray that someday we will be well again, and have the opportunity to get back to work. These two thoughts are bright dreams in our hearts. You just don't know what it would mean to me to be able to walk down the row of my field with my hands gripped tightly to my plow, to smell the odor of plowed ground, to feel the warm sunshine, to walk and walk and still be able to breathe normally. Tuberculosis can almost always be cured if it is found in it's early stages. Early diagnosis can best be found with x-ray. X-Rays Available I understand that anyone living in Carteret County can have an x-ray made of the chest and diag nosis made by a specialist at the health department on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for $3, if the person is able to pay. The seal sale for this year is now under way. I understand that 25 per cent of the total amount col lected will be sent to the State TB Association which in turn sends a part to the National Association. This money is used for research and to carry on the TB program. The remaining 75 per cent will be left in the county and used to pay for chest x-rays, for patients, ex patients. contacts, and suspected cases of TB who are not able to pay for this service. If it were possible, and I had the money to afford it, I would have an x-ray made of every one of you, even though you believe you are perfectly well. No matter how ex pensive this would be, if there Wis just one of you who would be saved from 10 years, S months, 20 days in bed, it would be well worth the price. BEST HEATING OIL...

Dealers in Farm Land Alerted Persons buying and selling farm land are obligated to become fa miliar with the acreage allotments and how such allotments will be di vided if part of the farm is sold, B. J. May, ASC manager, said yes terday. He commented that the ASC com mittee cannot keep track of all sales and purchases, and cannot make an acreage change until an application is filed by the landown ers involved in the purchase or sale. . Regulations from the Depart ment of Agriculture state how the allotments can be divided, or in some cases combined, as when a farmer buys farmland adjoining his. "Many farmers have had some sad experiences in the past because they did not determine in advance how the acreage allotments would be divided before they bought or sold land covered by the allot ments," Mr. May said. He added that both the buyer and seller are responsible for notifying the county ASC office as soon as land ia sold, and requesting a di vision of allotments if only part of a farm is sold.
