TB Seal Sales
At $695 Mark
Butts County citizens have pur
chased $695.04 of Christmas
Seals that will aid in the eradi
cation of tuberculosis, according
to a statement this week from
Mrs. A. D. Pope of Jackson, chair
man of the Butts County Tuber
culosis Committee. The total was
as of January 10th.
In thanking the public for its
generous response, Mrs. Pope
said she desires to recognize
especially the work of the colored
citizens in raising $164.59 of the
county’s total to date. “In past
years," Mrs. Pope said, “the
colored total has averaged around
SIOO.OO but this year they have
far exceeded' that figure for
which the Tuberculosis Commit
tee is most grateful.” Despite the
good showing of the Negroes, the
county total is running about
SIOO.OO short of the previous
year’s total when about $750.00
or more was raised. Mrs. Pope
emphasized that those who re
ceived seals through the mail be
fore Christmas and who have not
remitted for them, may do so by
sending their donation to the
Butts County Tuberculosis Com
mittee, Mrs. A. D. Pope, Chair
man. She expressed hope that be
lated contributions will bring the
county total to around the $750.-
00 figure or higher.
Mrs. Pope pointed out that
money from the sale of TB Seals
is used locally for protection from
tuberculosis by tuberculin tests,
x-ray follow-ups, educational pro
grams, and patient assistance. All
these programs are carried out
with the cooperation of the Butts
County Health Department, Mrs.
Pope reminded, in praising the
wonderful cooperation of the
health department and its staff.
