War on tuberculosis

Yuletide will soon be here. Your
letter of good cheer to a friend, or
your pckage that you send as pres
ent, will not be complete without
the Christmas Sticker. The Red
Cross Seal is as representative of
Christmastide as any other sticker
you can buy. Besides, the entire
proceeds from the sale Of Red Cross
Seals is spent in the fight against
tuberculosis.
The people in North Carolina who
desire to do some good, who desire
to be of service to mankind, bought
million of these Red Cross Seals
last year and used them on their
letters and packages and the $40, 900
they paid for them was every
bit spent in North Carolina, fight
ing tuberculosis.
The larger part of the money is
used in the community where the
seals are bought. In some place
they employed visiting nurses; in
other they scent patients who are
unable to pay the State Sanatorium;
in others they bought eggs, milk
and food for tuberculosis patients
who were unable to provide these
things.
Why buy Christmas Stickers from
a corporation when you can dc
as this with your money? These
Red Cross Seals will be on sale in
every town and in every community
in the State. Buy them, use them
and enjoy the good you can do t.
] others thereby.

Seven Young Buccaneers

Seven Young Buccaneers.
Seven boys from the National Maui
tical school at Portishead, Somerset,

exploit.
The boys had been on cruise in
their training vessel Polly, and on
returning to headquarters took French
leave and rowed up the Severn several
miles in one of the ships boats An
other boat set out in pursuit, and the
fugitives thereupon decided to take to
the land. They drove their boat on to
the shore at place called Holes

which is particularly soft. They pre-
sented a remarkable sight when they
reached the bank. Their experience
knocked the buccaneering spirit out
Of them, and they submitted to cap
ture by their pursuers, who arrived
on the scene a quarter of an hour
