Mrs. E. A. Ellis, Chairman of the Dade Tuberculosis Commit tee’s 1950 Christmas Seal announced this week that for the first time one per cent of the total raised in Dade county isto be set aside for an ex¬ panded research program now being sponsored by the National Tuberculosis Association. “Even with one extra per cent gonig for tuberculosis work out¬ side Dade county, our local committee still retains seventy- four rep cent of what we raise,” said Mrs Ellis. “Twenty per cent goes to finance the educa¬ tional and field service pro¬ grams of the state association, and five per cent to the national association. “Leading scientists and medi¬ cal authorities are now at work on 26 different research projects under the sponsorship of the National Tuberculosis Associa¬ tion. This program, financed mainly by Christmas Seal funds consists of research on the na¬ ture and treatment of tubercu¬ losis a disease which still kills nearly 1,000 Georgians years. “A drug to successfully fight tuberculosis is one of the prime objects of the research pro¬ gram. Streptomycin, which se¬ veral years ago was hailed as a miracle drug and a sure cure for tuberculo is, has not proven as efiective as was expected. Bde rest Is still the most impor¬ tant and reliable treatment.” In the 1950 Campaign so iar. $116 has been raised, which is $84 sh, rt of the $200 goal set by the Committee. Funds for local use are needed urgently for the three pricipal activities of the Dade county committee, which are educa¬ tion, casefinding, and a pro¬ gram of supplying patients and their families with bare necessi¬ ties when emergencies arise. “This last pha'se of the Dade county program is by far the most expensive,” said Mrs. Ellis, “’since official welfare agencies lack the necessary funds to meet most of the needs of tu¬ berculosis patients." The committee asked that those who cannot buy stamps send them back so that others may use them. -4 ■ GIVE A Subscription to - The - Dade County Times For CHRISTMAS YHE |)iUte COUNT* TIMES.

Yes agree God shapes all charac¬ ter and it would be a better world in which to live if we all would take time out to teach children the makings by our Saviour. I disagree she said our schools are enough. Many people have me about those Blue Back days, the wood stove, the water bucket, the mud- * road5 - the coJd class rocms - and da y» and ma °y hardships they had In the days. Now not one of these have I heard say that enjoyed those days, neither I found either of them does not enjoy reading our books, warming by our mo¬ heat, drinking from our or riding in our cars our good roads. Yes, we better facilities today than forefathers had, but we de¬ them and I can see no use our children to ride in autos years from now (just because had to) when everyone else riding In airplanes or some¬ better. Neither should we horses because our fore¬ had to. I still say our children need school buildings than we better books, etc., and also if we use teamwork we can our children better schools will help them to help children get ahead and get from part of this old fogie about, “son you step In my tracks, my foot in a hole but it wasn’t I am not trying to offend Mrs. this is just my way of our world of progres .
