Blues Hit By The Blues When TB Struck “We’re feeling better about the whole thing now,” Mrs. Blue said. “Despite the fact that my husband is still very de pressed at times, I’m beginning to believe that some good can come out of everything if we look hard enough to find it.” This is the way Mrs. Blue summed up her feelings about their stay in the sanatorium to Mrs. C. Gordon Maddrey, 1966 Christmas Seal Chairman. It all started when Mr. Blue, a farm laborer, came down with a “cold” in October of 1965. But this cold was different. It seemed to hang on and on. In fact, instead of getting over it, as It appeared at times he was t it grew progressively worse. It was no ordinary cold. “See a doctor,” his wife ad vised. The doctor treated his cold and later his flu, but Mr. Blue just didn’t respond. At least he did not respond for long. He did not feel like himself. He tired easily and said so. He was irritable and lost weight and there were times when the bed linen had to be changed dur ing the night because of exces sive perspiration. By August of 1966, Mrs. Blue became suspicious of this cold. Anxiety over her husband’s con dition was beginning to take its toll. She, herself, was not feeling up to par. This time she urged her husband to go to the out-patient clinic at the N. C. Sanatorium at McCain and get a chest X-ray, since the Blues live in Hoke County where the sanatorium is located. At the sanatorium a thorough examination, including the X ray he sought, revealed that Mr. Blue had tuberculosis. It was natural that he felt panic and was distressed at the pro spect of separation from his family. He was the bread winner and there were six chil dren ranging in age from four to fifteen. A check of his family led to the discovery of four additional cases his wife and three of his children. They were ad mitted to the sanatorium in September. Mrs. Blue’s concern shifted from her husband and herself and she became deeply engross ed in the children. What ar rangements could be made for her two teenagers and her sev en-year old while both parents were in the hospital? What a bout the three children who were being taken to the sanatorium? Would they be able to adjust? How often would she is allow ed to see them? Would they be left in tears after her visits? A relative came to their aid and is keeping three of the chil dren. Os the three who are patients, two are continuing their school work through the cooperative instructional pro grams of the State Department of Public Instruction and the North Carolina Sanatorium Sys tem. All three of these chil dred have adjusted well and are happily participating in the recreational activity made possible through the financial aid received from the local tuberculosis association. Fortunately, if people with active disease are found early, modern treatment can be ex tremely effective in bringing their TB to an inactive and non - infectious state. This happen ed in the case of Mrs. Blue and the children. Mrs. Blue is now enrolled in a homemaking class, which is sponsored.by the State Division of Voca t io na 1 Rehabilitation, and is learning to sew. She is excited about this and be lieves that she will be better able to contribute to the wel fare of her family when she is discharged from the Sanator ium. Understandably, hospitaliza tion is hard on Mr. Blue. It is not easy to relinquish your responsibility and have it as sumed by others. Too, his ill ness had extended over a long er period of time before it was discovered and treatment be gun. Mr. Blue is looking for ward to participating in the woodworking course, which is also sponsored by the State Di vision of Vocational Rehabili- \ May all the joy \ and gladness of Christmas come to \ y<> u and yours this i Holiday Season!

Brooke has explained that he does not want to take his two daughters, Remi and Edwina, out of school. His two teenage daughters attend all-white schools. The senator-elect said he would commute between his Washington and his Massachu setts home until next June. The Massachusetts attorney general plans to live in the re sidence of his mother, Mrs. Helen Brooke, who has a home in the northeast section of Washington, where Brooke was born and raised. His father, who died two years ago, and his mother remained here. Brooke plans to take French lessons so he can work close ly with the French speaking African nations in his new role as senator. One language he won’t need to lear is Italian, which his wife Remigia, of Italian an cestry, has taught him. The Brooke family lives in a $30,000 house on Beacon St. in the all-white Boston suburb of Newton. They own a sum mer home on Martha’s Vine yard, off Cape Cod, and spent many weekends there.
