CLUBS WILL SELL
CHRISTMAS SEALS
Specially Designed Stamps VIII
Be Issued by State Fedora
ton for Health Work

| The Christmas seal stamps will
probably be sold by the State FEEDER
alton of Womens clubs again this
/ year, through the local women's clubs.
While 1t is hard to imagine Christmas
at all imminent owing to the sort of
weather which prevails, it is an ac-
knowledged fact that Thanksgiving ar
rives the coming week and by infer
ence the holiday season must be at
hand. Last year there was some con-
fusion in the minds Of senders of
Christmas packages about what the
Federation stamps stood for. Many
people had already purchased the
Red Cross Stamps before the others
were put on the market.
Mrs. Strobach Resigns
This year, the stamps will probab bly,
be out earlier and club women will be
on the lookout for them. Mrs. Rich
ard Strobach of this city was named
vice chairman of the badge and stamp
committee. but, owing to a probable
ity that she will be in the east at hol-
iday time, has sent in her resignation
from the chairman, Mrs. N. M. Went
worth, of Port Angeles, that the
stamps will be placed on sale this
year, so that orders for them could
probably be placed at any time with
the president of the Womans club,
Mrs. Robertson, who Is recording Sec
rotary for the state federation.
Prnceeds nivtded
The proceeds from the federation
seals are divided, one half going to
the general fund, and the other half
to the health committee to be used
in furtherance of health work. Last
year the sales amounted to 1928,
about 800 having been expended in
the cost Of stamps, expressage and In
cidentals. This year 1t is hoped to do
much better. Stamps will probably
be ready, or orders for them taken,
at the December meetings of the va
rious cit bs
