rescues TO his long list. As he was
sitting down to supper word was

over on the Delaware side and could
hardly be distinguished without
touching his food he left the table and

Delaware side in his boat, the
"Freda S."
Il was some time later when he re-
turned with the boys In tow. One
OF them was Carl Snyder. of Edge
Moor, whose father Is light keeper
there. Their engine broke down
and they we're at the mercy Of the
tide and unusually rough water, their
little boat bobbing up and down like
a cork. Captain Speer had no sooner
returned when he was called on 10
go after a launch party which ran
aground on the fats below the
canal. II was late last night before
he finished his extra labors and re-
tired.

The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1914-12-16

- Every generous Harrisburger is glad to respond
according to his means to the unusual number of
requests made of him for aid in charitable work
III this winter of extraordinary stress and distress at
home and abroad The need for help throughout
the world is abnormally large this winter-chiefly
because Of the war in Europe,-but the larger the
need the greater is the willingness of Harrisburgers
to meet it through sacrifice and selfdenial
What is given for the foreign war sufferers is
most cheerfully given and that work deserves every
encouragement. AT the same time those who are in
need in land, and especially in our own
community, should not be made to suffer because
of the aid sent abroad. We cannot for instance
become any less aggressive in wagng the great fight
against tuberculosis in our own country and our
own city merely because there is an extraordinary
demand for our help in foreign countries Where
there is double fight to be fought we must make
double effort.
The sale Of the Red Cross seals that is now in full
swing here in this present Christmas season is the
medium through which Harrisburg is called upon
to fight the great white plague of tuberculosis
Great progress has been made in this fight in recent
years. Much ground has been gained but to main
tain the advantage the ''snews of war; must be
available for the use of the generals in the Red
Cross army. These 'snews" are dollars and cents
TO deprive the generals of the 'sinews' will mean
the army's falling back from the trenches 1t will
mean the loss of ground that will have to be re-
gained with even greater effort at some future date
Harrsburgers are not going to let the hordes of
disease gain temporary advantage in the
struggle
1t may not be generally known that eighty per
cent of the proceeds from the sale of the Red Cross
Christmas seals in this city is kept right here for
educational and preventive means in the fight
against tuberculosis, Eighty cents out of every
dollar raised through the sale of the little stckers
in this community will be spent right at home in this
noble work 1t will go toward helping unfortunate
Harrsburgers afflicted with this terrible plague to
get well and strong and able to help themselves; or
1t will go toward establishing safeguards build
ing up the trenches, if you pease-to prevent life
destroying tuberculosis gripping the lives of Har-
burg men, women and children who thus far have
eMaped its cruel hands,
The buying of Red Cross seals involves sacrifice
and self-denal, but Harrsburgers never finch on
the firing line
