Tuberculosis Association the re-
port on the Christmas Seal Sale
was presented. The report shows
that the sale was the largest in
the history of the Association,
the returns to date with four

are $50, 74l.21. Attention was
called to the fact that on account
OF the tuberculosis work of Nor
folk being provided for in the
Community Chest budget. only
a limited sale was conducted in
that city. This meant a decrease
|of about 5000 in the sale, but
emitting Norfolk from the sale
for both years. the increase in
the rest OF the State amounted to
81, OS4. AZ.
AT this meeting the budget for
the coming year was adopted,
and a program decided upon
which will include in its activi-
ties the perfecting of County aud
CITY branches of the Virginia
tuberculosis Association, the
establishment of the Modern
Health Crusade and Nutrition

educational features.

May Raise Rates For Parcel Post

Farmers win have TO paw three
times as much parcel post charges
If the bill now being considered
by a special committee of Con-
gress becomes a law. Not only
does ii propose to increase the
rates on parcel post packages,
but it would greately increase the
charge on fourth class matter.
This Is of greater import to
farmers than any other class al
though the parcel post, of course
is universally used. 1t catches
the farmer both going aud com
ing, for he has to pay postage on
what he receives and as pre-
Queer he has to pay postage to
what he ships, and his prices are
not set By himself but by the
quotations on his market whether
il Is close by or at a distance
The parcel post charges in this
respect are no different than the
transportation both ways.
When the parcel post was in
sugurated in 1913 1t was recog-
mixed that 1t would be a benefit
primarily to the farmers and iol
those living in small towns. Mol
one will challenge the statement |
that the service has .livfed up tol
