call "home"-be it a house, an
apartment, or a room-it just must
be shined up and given a bit Of
Christmas atmosphere. The larger
the home the bigger the job. Hooray
for you If you can get someone to
come in and take the whole bust
ness off your handsl
Most people like to start at the
front Of the house and work back,
so drag out your mop and pail and
get busy. At this point a man comes
in very handy provided you can
persuade him that your cause will
be lost without some help from his
reservoir of strength and might.
He can wax the floors or wash the
windows to the music Of your car
pet sweeper. Cozy little picture,
isn't It!
Whether you are successful or
not in securing his help, the Job
must be done. Plan your work so
that there will be no necessity for
going over something that has al
ready been done. Brush of the
furniture first and cover with news
papers. Wash off the woodwork, II
you plan to do 1t, and then the win
dows and mirrors. Dust, polish the
furniture and the floors, and sweep
off the rug. After you have cleaned
thoroughly, the curtains or Grapes
are hung. Following a similar pro-
.cedure with the remainder Of the
house you will find that you are
through before you know it.
Sing While You Clean
While you are cleaning don't for
get to sing because IL not only
helps you finish the job more quick
ly and makes your work more
pleasant but 1t cleans out the corn
ers Of your heart as well.
Now you are ready to add the
decorations. They can be as ex-
pensive or as inexpensive as you
care to make them. II your front
door is adaptable "hang out the
welcome sign" by placing some sort
Of decoration on it. 1t may be a
wreath of holly leaves and berries

tied with a wide red satin bow or
an arrangement Of pine cones and
Christmas bells that actually tinkle
a welcome when you open your
door.
Usually, most Of the Christmas
decorating Is done in the living
room and dining room, though this,
Of course, is up to you.
No matter what else you do in
the way Of decorating, there must
be a treas large or as small
as you like-but n tree there must
bel II there are no children in the
family you may want just q small
tree TO set on the table though
many grownups enjoy 4 large tree
with all its trimmings as much, or
more, than children. As well as
giving you a feeling of good cheer
and warmth, a tree provides a nice
background for holiday entertain
ing.
Fire Hazards
II you use lights on the tree
make sure they are in good condi.
ton. II they aren't they can be
fire and shock hazard, so repair
old sets or buy new ones. The new
soft-hued fluorescent lights with
coral, maize, green, and blue bulbs
shed n mellow, lovely glow.
A fireplace, II you have one, lends
itself very nicely to decorations.
Try an arrangement Of evergreen
branches, colored balls, and two
cardboard Christmas trees on the
mantel. Light from the back with
string Of tree lights. II your
mantel is low, drRpe a swag Of
greenery on the wall over Il. The
swRg can be made easily by wir-
ing or tying together evergreen,
laurel or magnolia snippings.
Make a snow scene centerpiece
for your table Of sheet-eotton, dime
store Christmas trees and a card
board dollhouse. Cut panes from
windows Of the house and paste
tissue paper inside to cover the
openings. To light It use a fash
light inside or a small-watt bulb
in an upright, medium, screwbase
socket. II you use the latter, run
the electric cord inconspieuously
under your own plate or the back
Of the table, and thumbtack 1t to
the underside Of the table so the
house won't be pulled off.
There are just lots and lots of
lovely ideas for decorating but re-
member not to overdo 1t. 1t is better
TO have too little than too much.

By Robert r. King, Jr. :
District Health Officer

tuberculosis is one of the
worlds Oldest diseases and is still
one of the hardest to control in
spite of the fact that much has
been done to reduce the death
rate from this illness. One reason
for this is that the germ, called
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is
covered by a waxey capsule that
is resistant to the drugs used in
treating other bacterial diseases.
Many drugs have been tried with
out success. The two most re-
Gently under experimentation are
promine, one of the sulfone drugs,
and streptomycin, a fungus drug
similar to penicillen. Research
with these two is not yet old
enough to be judged accurately.
tuberculosis is generally de-
scribed as occurring in two
stages, primary, and secondary or
re-infection. Primary tubercu-.
loSis occurs in most children when
they are first exposed to the dis
ease, and most people heal this
first infection and are thereafter
well. However, a few children
are quite sick and die of this first
sickness. Re-infection tubercu-
losis is the second attack of the
disease which starts again from
the old infection or as a new in
lection from another person.
Control is directed at finding
cases early before the disease is
too far advanced for effective
treatment. This is done by the
tuberculin skin test and chest
x-ray. Many health departments
now have their own x-ray equip
ment for this purpose. Treat
ment is concerned with helping
the patient rest in pleasant,
healthy surroundings free from

FOR THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

WHAT Do WE HAVE HENE!
In 1921 the Pilgrims landed in
Plymouth, Massachusetts,. They
came seeking religious freedom.
With them they brought an idea
of democracy, which originated in
Europe, in that period which is
called the Medieval period OF
history.
Since the landing of the Pill
grim fathers, Americans have
been striving, fighting and dying
for freedom and democracy. For
these, the Revolutionary War was
fought. Following that. the Unit
ed States has taken part in six
wars. Each time the American
cause has been victorious.
Our national and state govern
ments advocate democracy, as has
been proved by the part that they
have so willingly taken in trying
to keep those ideals free from
aggressiveness. In each instance
certain regulations were formed
by them, but by the voice Of the
majority, adhering to the idea OF
representative government.
In our school curriculum-we
are told to teach democracy. We
should be proud that North Caro-
lima is one of the two states in
the United States which does
have a statewide school system.
We should be proud of the course
of study so ably provided by our
state officials. We should be
proud of, and obey the laws of
our state, but should we exhault
those who seem to misinterpret
the idea of democracy and every
thing for which it stands?
At a time when we as citizens
of the state and county have so
much for which to be thankful,
are we going to sit on the seat
of idleness and allow those in the
higher offices tell us exactly what
to do and when to do it without
so much as vote being cast?
Teachers, what are we waiting
for? Do we not want time to
even stop and think on "a
THANKSGIVING DAY.? Are
we afraid to demand at least an
opportunity to cast a vote? Why
don't we practice what we preach
DEMOCRACY?
