Johnson and Mrs. Roy Day are
serving on the house-to-house
campaign committee: Mrs. Day,
Mrs. J. C. Lambert and Mrs. Lil-
lian Lane, telephone committee,
and Rev. Fray and Rev. Chris-
tian, ministerial committee.
The campaign was organized
last week at Wortham and Cot-
ton Gin.
Feb. 26 has been assigned af
the clinic for residents of Dew,
Freestone, Donie, Cqtton Gin,
Shanks____and Lanely; Feb. 28
students of the Fairfield, Kirvin
and Wortham schools; March 1,
residents of Fairfield, Kirvin and
Wortham, and Mhrch 2, residents
of Teague. Any. person 15 years
or older can attend the clinic at
any time.
Feb. 24-25 have been set aside
for ftegroes of the oounty.
Here are the important points
about the clinic:
1. It is open free of charge to
every person in the county above
the age limit.
2. It is not charitable, but is
being brought here to x-ray
everyone over the age limit in
an effort to completely stamp
out tuberculosis here.
3. No disrobing will be neces-
sary,------—-—s-
4. It is for those who Tare ap-
parently healthy, as much as it
is for others, since a great part
of tuberculosis cases are found
in comparatively healthy per-
sons.
A total of 1500 persona a day
can be x-rayed with the equip-
ment, which will be maintained
in downtown Teague.
The drive in Teague is under
direction of the Citizens Council,
which is receiving active cooper-
ation from all civic clubs here
N. W. Bendy, Teague, is county
chairman, and Edward Mercer,
Fairfield, co-chairman.
