Story OF The
Christmas Seal

Calling the little penny Christmas
Seals Red Cross Stamps is mis-
take. The Chrismast Seals now have
mo connection with the Red Cross OF
with Red Cross work Once they did
have.
In 1907 an article in the Outlook
regarding the use of a Christmas Seal
in Norway for tuberculosis work. in
terested Miss Emily Bissol of Wilm-
ington. Del, She had some stamps
designed and promoted very success
full, altho small, sale, the proceeds
of whicn were used to build up a
small tuberculosis sanatarium. Sub
lsequently, In order to secure the ex-
tension of the plan Miss Bissel secur-
ed the cooperation of the Red Cross
organization.
Beginning in 1908 the Red Cross
lorganzation had the seals designed
and printed, helped sell them, and
turned share of the proceeds over
to the National tuberculosis Assn.
which did most of the selling. This
partnership continued until 1919.
Then the two organizations made
friendly agreement whereby all rights
to the Christmas Seal were turned
iver to the tuberculosis Assn, while
the Red Criss adopted the 'tMember-
ship Drive as a means of raieing
revenues. h
The historical connection of the
two organizations, coupled with the
fact that there is a double barred,
cross OF. the stamps, causes the con-
fusion. 1t may be hard to get it across
to the general public that stamp
which has red double barred cross
on it is not fCRed Cross Stamp.
But such is the case, and everyone
should geR it straight, because as
long as the, misunderstanding exists
some Will suppose they are giving
twice to the Red Cross.
The 1928 Christmas Seal Sale is
now on. Last year this county's
quota was $4,000 worth of seals. OF
that we sold $124.OO. worth. This
year we are asked to sell $4,000
worth of stamps in this county. Now
let us try to dispose OF every one,
thereby helping to promote health in
our state. and also giving the children
in McCone County a better chance.
Two thirds of the amount for seals
sold comes back to us for that pur-
pose. BUY THE XMAS SEALS.
That means something and giyes
returns.
The following committees have
been appointed to sell seals in McCone
County:
Mrs Maude Emerson, Watkins.
Mrs. Patricia Schneider, Brockway
Mrs. Paul Krebsbach, Vida.
Mr.. Dick Westrum, Circle.
Mrs.H A. Jensen,
Seal Sale Director.
