 Henry $. Washburn. chairman Of the Plainyille committee in charge of the sale of Christmas Tuberculosis seals. stated today that the sale in | Painvile gave all appearances of be- i ing a success this year. The school children who spent last week in sell i ing seals did wonderful work canvass | ingthe houses and reports indicate that total of st00 worth of the seals will have been disposed of by { the children by the end of the drive. f The committee mailed out the seals ! in s1 lots to homes in Plainville this week and to date has received a large number of answers. Many others who have not replied. X request is made to those who have received stamps to return the money for them as soon as possible as n full report will be made ont before the arrival of Christmas Day.
 It has come to the attention of tho committee that many people arc Of the opinion that the Christmas seals arf issued by the National Red Cross but this is not so and never has been. Christmas seals are issued by the National Tuherculosis commission which is divided into sections with each state having it's own commis- sion. The tuberculosis commission of Connecticut is part Of the official organization of the state and has its headquarters in the capitol in Hart ford.
 The emblem Of the commission is tho double barred cross which differs entirely from the emblem of tho Red Cross. Christmas seals are distributed all over the state upder the jurisdic- ton Of the state commission by means of local agents. No local organization which is not engaged in directly help ing in the light against tuberculosis can qualify as an agent.
 In 1920. 1921 and 1929, the Plain. vile Red Cross directed the work o' the visiting nurse, a portion Of whose timo was devoted to the prevention of ! tuberculosis in Plainyille and besides | this. tho Plainvilc Rcd Cross financed | the expense Of two Plainyillc girls xN.t ta sl. mi tn for treatment for tuberculosis. In this way the Plainviie Red Cross quail. fed as a distributor Of the Christmas ! seals.
 This year, however. tho work of tho visiting nurse is under the direction Of the plainville public health nursing | association. She dcSotcs part Of her time as heretofore to the prevention l of tuberculosis. Tho health assocls- ton is financing e large part ot the , expense Of local glrl who is now in n sanitarium with tho disease.
 The Plaintille association makes a yearly report in detail to the Connec. ticut tuberculosis commission relative to the work done in the fight agains. the disease here. Without the local organization tn, seals would have to hc mailed direct from Hartford to in- dividuals and in this way. any money received would have gone 10 the state 
 The local committee wishes to stress inc point that Plainsille keeps and uses S5 pc- cent nj the prorceds of the sale Of the seals in local work.
