Rumnlage Sale.

81 The ladies Of the Sumter Civic
League cleared between three hu,s-
dred and fifty and three hundred and
sixty dollars at their rummage sale
Saturday for the county health sur
vey and rural visiting nurse funds.
Some OF this money, of course, was
direct contributions in cash, but "a
large part thereof came from the sale
of preserved and canned fruits, vege-
tables, candies. groceries, clothing
furniture and other commodities do
mated for the sale.
For several days committees Of the
Civic League canvassed the city for
contributions Of saleable articles and
for any cash subscriptions they could
secure. Some generous and public
spirited ladies. Of the rural districts
also sent in some preserved fruits,
eggs, canned goods, and some cash,
but the bulk Of the articles and cash
came from this city.
The Sumter Civic League has for
years featured the public health and
education. of the masses along the
lgsIekssEepentive medicine, health
and sanitation, as main factors Of the
leagues splendid work. Having a
City of Sumter Civic League nurse
for years and such splendid results
determined that the IT, 4lealth sur
Ney and rural visiting nurse Will b.
put on in the rural districts Of this
county, and the interest manifesed,
and the hard work with splendid
financial results put in by the Sumter
ladies, shows that they are acuated by
the friendliest and most unselhsh
motives in trying to put "over the
top the necessary three thousand
and three hundred dollars for the
health survey and rural visiting
nurse
Neither the rural visiting nurse or
the county health survey specialists
will do any work in this city, but all
OF their work will be for the people
Of the rural districts, white and col
ored.
Some mighty good work has been
done by a few of the ladies and gen
tlemen of several OF the rural COM
rnunities, and considerable amount
Of cash sent in for the health survey
and rural visiting nurse. A little ef-
fort in each of the communities OF
the country districts will make Ger
tain the necessary S2,300.00 for this
great twelve or fourteen month rural
health educational campaign.
The colored citizens Of Sumter and
Lee county have pledged themselves
TO raise not less than six hundred dol
lars for these two instrumentalities
for conserving life and healh, and
they have already paid in more than
four hundred dollars of this pledge.
The Sumter County Chamber OF
Commerce in the mean time is re-
ceiving cash contributions from al
who desire to contribute. All checks
should be mailed to Sumter County
Chamoer of Commerce. Sumter, S. G..
and should be made payable to the
County Health Survey.

LIBRARY NOTES
Past Due Books

There are some folks who Dor
rowed books from the library more
than two months ago, and they were
loaned in good faith, but these Dor
rowers seem very reluctant and slow
about returning them to the library
and previous requests made by the
librarian for the return Of these
books have been unheeded in many
instances. The librarian is planning
to post the list of borrowers, who
have books two months or more past
due.

II You Find a Library Book

OFT times library book is laid
down in a store or at school and for
gotten. This might easily happen
with any book, but all library books
are plainly marked and labeled so
that there should be no delay in get
ting the book back to the library.
1t would be comforting a great favor
on everyone if persons finding or
picking up library books would
kindly return them to the library i'm
mediately after finding them. The
borrower will then be relieved of
paying for the book.
