TB Can Be Wiped
Out in America
In tuberculosis, last year
brought death to over 10,000
Americans and new active di
■eew to over 50,000.
It also brought the first full
year of a new campaign to
wipe out this killer, to get rid
of it before new generations
have to suffer.
TB can be wiped out in this
eountry, experts have reported.
But we are far from this goal,
though we've had an effective
treatment for fifteen years. The
new campaign to bring this
affective treatment to all TB
sufferers has been mounted by
the tuberculosis associations
•nd health departments across
the nation.
“It's now or never.’’ says Dr.
Rene Dubos, of N. Y. Rocke
feller Institute. “Conditions are
at present favorable for t h e
bold and decisive action that
eould virtually wipe out tu
berculosis in this country be
cause the general health of the
nation is very good. But we
ten expect that more and more
bacterial resistance to anti -
tuberculosis drugs will develop.
In twenty years it may be too
late.’’

I The tuberculosis associations
have worked during 1961 to
teach the facts about TB, to en
courage everyone to have a
yearly tuberculin test or chest
X-ray — and to get the best
treatment right away if he
needs it.
The year 1961 brought im
portant gains in this fight
against TB. Did you help?
Did you have a tuberculin
test to find out if any TB germs
are present? Did you have a
chest X-ray to find out if TB
germs are doing any damage?
Whether or not you did, look
forward to 1962. Right after
New Year’s check with your
doctor and have your yearly
tuberculin test or chest X-ray.
And, while you still have time
in 1961 to help in the campaign
for 1962— have you sent in
your Christmas Seal contribu
tion? Please do.
The rehabilitation center
movement for blind people is
of comparatively recent origin
having started in the mid
1940’5, according to the Ameri

P'terdale Choir
To Present z
'Night Miracles'
“Miraculous!” This is the
word that describes the won
derful truth of the Incarnation.
The night of our Saviour’s
birth was miraculous indeed for
many reasons. Passages from
Matthew and Luke list them all
and weaves a story of that
unforgettable night — the night
when centuries-old prophesies
came miraculously true, a night
when the heavenly host gave
the news to the shepherds —
the birth of the Prince of
Peace. There is Love as only
God can give, a Love that
knows no bounds, is limitless
and desolute and it was first
manifested on that night long
ago —a “night of Miracles”.
This is the cantata that John
W. Peterson wrote. He has
composed seven cantatas and
more than 1000 hymns and
gospel songs.
The choir of the Porterdale
Baptist Church will present
“Night of Miracles”, on Sun
day, December 17, during the
evening worship service be
