presented at the next meeting Of
your club with my personal appeal
10 you to get behind this years
seal sale in every possible way? /
am asking this, not in the interests
of the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculosis
association but in the interests Of
every community in the state and
in the name of the soldiers and their
families to whom its many activities
may mean life and restored useful
ness in the days after the war. May
[ suggest also that the most effec
tive way in which you can help,
aside from subscribing for the seals
which will doubtless come to you
through the mails or otherwise, is
to get behind your local campaign
manager in your community and
take a share of the responsibility OF
arousing the people of your com
munity to the patriotic necessity
for the success of this years sale?
Volunteer for service even though
the campaign may be under the
direction of some sister club. And
let me add that this is no year to
buy seals with pennies and spare
change. We are forced to think in
multipes Of dollars today,
I shall be glad to know that any
action which your club may take
either as club or as individuals
and feel sure that the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis Association
would also welcome such an assur.
ance OF your loyalty TO the move
ment in which club women have
had so large part. Mrs. Louise f.
Brand of that association is also a
member of our State Federation
public bealth committee and would
be especially interested in hearing
of your clubs cooperation,
Sincerely yours,

this preparedne SIS, that invested in
the literature and the preventive
and remedial forces now being used
to bind up the wounds OF France
|'are the proceeds CT our former Red
Cross Christmas seal sales. 1t is OF
personal interest to US, too, to know
that DIR. g.. L. BELLS. superinten
dent of Muirdale, Milwaukee coun
Ity's tuberculosis sanatorium, is
among the experts now in France.
We could not be having a share in
this great work for France today
had we not been armed for it by our
own work at home for the last ten
years.
Nor should we be so we'll prepared
to meet our own tuberculosis war
problem were it not for our Wiscon
sin campaign of peace times. Here
is one feature of war service in
which we do not have to begin at
the beginning. The foundations are
we'll laid. the constructive work is
well under way but it must be push
ed more rapidly, more intensiyely,
more extensively than ever before.
1t seems to me, therefore, an i'm
perative obligation upon every club,
both as an organization and as in
Idlvidual members, to take an active
personal interest in this years Red
Cross Christmas seal sale. The work
which it finances is for the protect
ion of our workers, of our school
children and of our babies at home
as well as Of our soldiers at thefront
and the demands upon it will be
tremendously increased by the
stress OF war its uncertain economic
lconditi ons, its invaded homes, il:
advancing cost OF living. May
suggest, then, that this letter bt
