Not only in the city of Grand Forks
every state in the union. the Red Cross
Christmas Seal campaign will be open
ed December l.. The National Tuber-
culosis Association, under who's
sponsorship the. campaign Is conduct
ed each year., announces the aim Of
the association this year to be the dis
posal of 100000 Red Cross Christ
mas Seals.
The aim of the North Dakota assoc
citation is to prevent every letter being
sent from u North Dakota postofficc
without a Christmas seal, and begin
ming December 1 all letters are ex-
pected to bear the Red Cross stamp
until January I, 1920.
In order to insure maximum results
from their activities in the nation
wide educational and preventive cam
paign being conducted by the National
tuberculosis association and it's n
thousand affiliated organizations, the
state associations in Oklahoma and
Texas ave decided to engage
workers for the strictly negro centers.
Texas has also made provision for an
agent to work among the Mexicans in
that state and Oklahoma, and will
to carry the anti-tuberculosis propa-
ganda to the Indian reservations. The
work Of these special field workers
will be carried on in conjunction with
the fixed program already decided
upon.
Each state and local association
throughout the country is bearing the
expense of it's individual activities. The
funds will be derived from the annual
sale of Red Cross Christmas seals
which will begin on the first day of
December. The combined budgets of
the allied organizations call for the ex-
penditure of more than $500, 00o.
The decision to use native, workers
in the Mexican, negro and Indian en-
tiers of Texas and Oklahoma is based
upon the theory that they will be able
to create a more spontaneous response.
r. c. Ortega, a graduate of The st.
Louis Potosf College, will have charge
of the Ell Paso Mexican exhibit and
will work in the small Mexican settle
ments in southern Texas. The Indian
woman in Oklahoma will have the
support of the Federal Indian bureau

ton physicians.
