That Mrs. Henry Highsmith, who before her marriage was Miss Kate Herring, is to have charge of the publicity work for the North Carolina Tuberculosis Association, the North Carolina Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis, and the extension work of this institution, is the recent announcement made by Dr. L.B. McBrayer, Superintendent of the State Sanatorium.
Mrs. Highsmith is a trained newspaper woman. She is a graduate of Trinity College and studied journalism at the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, New York City. She is well known in the newspaper fraternity of North Carolina through her services for a number of years as publicity director for the State Board of Health, and during the war as director of publicity for the State War Savings Campaign. Immediately after the war Mrs. Highsmith was employed by the United States Treasury Department as Director of War Savings Societies of the Fifth Federal Reserve District, with headquarters at Richmond. Following this work she was made publicity director for the Maryland Social Hygiene Society of Baltimore, but after serving only six months, she was taken over by Dr. W.F. Snow of New York City as publicity director for the American Social Hygiene Association.
Dr. McBrayer and the State agencies for fighting tuberculosis feel that they are fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. Highsmith, particularly at this time when a more extensive campaign for fighting tuberculosis is to be undertaken.
