CHRISTMAS SEAL FUNDS

Within two weeks over a billion
sale in every nook and corner of the
United States. These seals are sold
to finance the campaign against tu-
berculosis in this country. OF every
dollar received from the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals, 91.7c remains
in the state where the seals are sold
for the benefit of the organized anti
tuberculosis campaign in hat state.
Out of the remaining $3.50, the ex-
penses of running the campaign are
first deducted, and whatever is left is
then divided between the American
Red Cross and the National Tuber-
culOsis Association.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal cam
paign is not for the purpose Of financ-
ing the work of the American Red
Cross or it's chapters. 1t is for The
purpose of financing the National Tu-
~berculosis Association and the various
state tuberculosis associations. The
Red Cross Christmas Seal, launched
in 1908 by the American Rcd Cross,
has been issued in the name of the
Red Cross since that date. In March
1915 the American Red Cross agreed
to allow the National tuberculosis
Association to use it's name and em-
blem on the usual Christmas seal

Surgeon General Blue Asks That
Churches Also Join In Move
ment { Further Sale

Surgeon General Rupert Blue has
issued an appeal to observe Christ
mas Seal Day in the schools and in
all places of worship in the United
States, December S, s and z. The ap-
peal follows:
"Over one hundred and fifty thou
sand Americans die annually from
tuberculosis. This is An appalling
waste Of life when we consider that
tuberculosis is classed as q prevent.
able disease. Moreover, because this
loss OF life occurs almost entirely in
the ranks Of the young adult popula-
ton, health authorities the world
over have come to consider the con
troll of tuberculosis as still the most
pressing health problem confronting
them. Every year the National Tu-
~iberculosis Association, by selling Red
Cross Christmas seals, raises a consid-
cradle sum of money to be used in a
nation wide campaign to combat tu-
tberculosis. This year a special ef-
fort is being made to interest school
children in this work and December
fifth, sixth and seventh have been
designated as days on which the
eeals are to be sold in the public
SCHOOLS, synagogues and churches.
Because of the seriousness Of the
situation, I trust that the campaign
this year will be particularly sue
