Seventy-Five Percent of Mo-
ney Raised Remains in
County For Use.

On Thanksgiving, Ashe county
as well as the rest of North Caro-
lima will begin the sale of Tuber-
cular Christmas Seals to raise
funds to fight one of the worst
diseases of modern times.
The goal of the State has been
set at $4,000, and that of Ashe
county at $3.50. Here in Ashe
county the Woman's Club will
sponsor the sale of seals and in
dividuals and institutions alike
will be called upon to aid in the
drive against tuberculosis by pur-
chasing these seals. Miss Ruth
Tugman, welfare superintendent
and Mrs. A. B. Hurt will serve
as co-chairmen and every effort
will be made to reach the goal
for Ashe county which is lower
than that of the state as a whole.
The seals which sell for only
one cent are unusually attractive
this year, picturing three healthy
children singing Christmas ca
rolls. From the money raised from
the sale of these, seventy-five
percent remains at home to aid
locally in the prevention and cure
of the disease. Miss Tugman,
whose work keeps her in contact
with health conditions of the
county is the club chairman of
the tubercular funds and is ever
on the alert toward the preven-
ton of the spread of this disease,
in the county.
It was recently stated by DIR.
Louis I. Dublin, that people do
not die of tuberculosis in this day
and age, but die of neglect. And
it is to prevent this neglect that
the sale of Christmas seals is
conducted.
Of the 16,5O0,OO0 men between
the ages of 81 and 35 who have
been registered under the Selec-
tive Service Bill, number
throughout the country and right
here in Ashe county will be re-
jected on the grounds of manifest
or suspected tuberculosis. And
these will increase the response
bility of putting forth more eff
fort to combat the disease.
The fact that more cases will
probably be discovered this year
should increase the interest and
sale of the seals. It should also
increase the interest in the know
ledge of the disease.
The following facts published

Brief Review OF State National And World News During The Past Week

in the Sanitorium Sun are of in
terest to everyone:
ANY of the following symp-
toms should make a person sus-
picious of having tuberculosis:
Loss of weight. Loss of
strength. Loss of energy or en-
durance.
Feeling tired or rundown"
espec- ally in the afternoon or
evening.
Poor appetite. Indigestion or
dyspepsia.
"A temperature normal or be-
low normal in the morning and
SO or above in the afternoon or
evening.
"A persistent cough. Cough is
frequently, but not always, pre-
sent in tuberculosis.) Every cough
lasting three weeks or longer is
suspicious.
"A hemorrhage from the lungs,
as much as a teaspoon of pure
blood. Blood-streaked sputum is
also suspicious.
"Pleurisy-a sharp pain in the
chest, made worse by deep
breathing and lasting an hour or
more.
Tuberculosis is durable, but
rarely so except when discovered
in the early stage and under pro-
, per treatment
| "All with suspicious symptoms
and all who have been exposed
to a case of tuberculosis should 60
to their family physician for a
thorough study. Children should
have the tuberculin test, which is
harmless. Those who react posi-
lively sould have physical exam
nations and X-rays of their
chests. It is also we'll for adults
to have the tuberculin test. The
positive reactors should have a
careful physical examination, and
those who have suspicious signs
or symptoms should have an
X-ray. Your family physician or
the county health officer can give
you the test. The Extension De-
partment of the North Carolina
Sanatorium will furnish the tu-
berculin free. If your physician is
doubtful about your condition
you should see a chest specialist.

vocated this week a program OF
exposure" to ward off sabotage
of national defense industries.
Dies named Germany, Italy,
Japan and Russia as the "totali-

clared that the orthodox meth
cd" of fighting saboteurs-appre-
hending them after the commits
sion of their crime-had failed IN

He suggested that his house

to deal with potential saboteurs
in advance of their acts OF des-
truction.
with all due respect to the de-
partment of justice and the fede-
raj bureau of investigation, and
they are doing fine work, think
the whole method of approach
must be radically changed" the
Texan said.
IT am going to recommend to
Congress that the committee be
given more power with respect to
those who refuse to testify or to
appear so that all these saboteurs
