T. c. l Cuvellier, Executive Secretary of the State Association who is acting as Campaign Manager for l the sale. Thirty Thousand Dol lars for tuberculosis work in Arizona during 1921 is the goal | for which the campaign workers are striving this December. To- cal committees will be organized in every city and town in the State and every resident of Ari- | zOna will be given an opportun- ity to purchase a few Christmas Seals at one cent each. For !! those who wish to make a more substantial contribution to the cause there will be Health Bonds printed in values of $5, $10, $25, 50 and 100. Enough tuberculo- sis Christmas Seals have been printed and distributed by the National Tuberculosis Associa
 tion to reach more than half way around the world, nine hun dred million Seals having been distributed to the forty eight state tuberculosis associations and more than eleven hundred local anti tuberculosis societies. These Seals if placed in a row would measure fifteen thousand miles.
 The aims of the Arizona Anti Tuberculosis Associat tion for 1921 are announced as follows:
 To seek to provide enough more sanatorium and hospital beds to accommodate every con- sumptive needing such care; to follow up all tuberculosis cases; to provide public health nurses with a proper aries and consult ing experts to assist physicians in the early discov occupation for arrested cases; to provide wherever possible dispens dis charged from sanatoria to pre- vent relapses and to provide suitable knowledge of tubercu- losis in every community to give home care and inStruction to all cases of tuberculosis needing it; to establish open air schools or fresh air classes and prevento- riums for all children needing such special care; to urge the importance of a thorough exa- mination of all school children for tuberculosis and other phy- sical defects; to further organize e4H k@ k,,
 berculosis by securing adequate legislation and all other provi- sion necessary; to educate all communities by literature, ex- hibits, lectures and publicity re- garding the nature, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis; to seek by the introduction of the Modern Health Crusade to train all school children in cor rect health habits; and to en- deavor to pursuade employers of labor and working men and wo- men of the economic value of periodic medical examination as a means of health conservation.
 A recent tuberculosis survey of Arizona made by survey nur- ses revealed the fact that a work of this nature is much needed in Arizona because of the large number of tuberculosis cases coming to Arizona and who are without funds with. which to provide themselves with neces- sities for their own care or for the protection of others against infection by these cases them selves. In many communities the crowded housing conditions only add to the problem of pre- venting the spread of this infec- tion and this makes it doubly important that provision be made for adequate supervision and in- struction of such cases. That there are over three thousand children directly exposed to tu- berculosis infection by intimate contact with active cases was one finding of the tuberculosis survey made by the State Asso- citation in cooperation with the State Board of Health.
 The Sale of the Tuberculosis Christmas Seals will be extend ed from December 1st to 18th in Arizona. Seals will be placed on sale, however, the last week in November so that merchants may secure them in time to place them on their statements mailed
