II. A. Lane, state director OF the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale and
high official in the Oklahoma Anti.
tuberculosis association was in tho
city yesterday afternoon from head
quarters in oklahoma City to perfect
plans TO rthe furthcrance of the work
In this county
AS explained by Mr.. Lane the sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals Is the
method by which the Antl.Tubercu.
losis association is financed The
money raised in each county of tho
state is divided into three parts, the
county organization itself getting 65
per cent of the total, the state or.
ganization getting 25 per cent and
the national organization the remain
ing 10 per cent.
'rhe state organization plans the
raising of funds IN the amount OF s
cents per capita through the sale OF
the Christmas seals. According, to
that estimate Grady county will be
expected to raise in the. neighborhood
of $1,SOO.
The method of organization, as ex.
planned by Mr.. Lane is simple. The
idea has been to get away from the
unwieldly machines featuring long
list of chairmen and sub chairmen in
every district. The organization will
consist of county manager, a city
manager, the city superintendent of
schools and the county superntend-
ent of schools.

branch reaches the children and the
other the adults The childrens divi
sion is to be handled by the city and =

robust health and the dangers that
arise from certain habits. In short,
the best way to live. This Is called
the Modern Crusader" division.

with the work In this line.
in order to create greatest interest
ON the part of the children.
The adult branch deals with tho
general health Of the public and will
be handled through the city and
county chairmen, This work, Mr.
Lane pointed out is broad in scope
being unlimited practically a sto field
IF activity.
