THE BIGGEST PARADE
Long Line OF Christmas Seals


The biggest parade ever held in
Maryland will start from Baltimore
on the day after Thanksgiving and
will touch every cline and hamlet
in Maryland, said Mrs. 1. d. Davis,
Elkton, Seal Sale Chairman of Cecil
county. The parade will be 473
miles in length, almost long enough
to encircle the state !! 1t will be
made up of thirty million little
life savers" or little couriers OF
health--each spreading the message
of Health for All, All for Health y
Thirty million 1925 tuberculosis
Christmas Seals; here, there, every
where Asking you to buy them,
one penny each, so that Tuber-
culosis and disease in Maryland may
be further decreased. These little
Christmas Seals have been running
about the country around Thanks
giving and Christmas time for
twenty-five years and have been
influential in reducing the death
rate from tuberculosis more than
fifty per cent.
These little messengers of hope
have been locked up in the offices
of the Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation, 900 Saint Paul Street,
Baltimore. They are raring to go
and were to be released on Thanks
giving Day. November twenty-ffth.
When you buy the Tuberculosis
Christmas Seals, you are helping
support the following activities, car
ried on by the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association and it's county
branches.
1. The Miracle. House," a pre-
ventorium for undernourished and
underprivileged children of Mary
land, located at Claiborne. Last
year, 2OS Maryland children were
treated.
2. Nursing Service-Financial sup
port to county public health nurses
throughout the state.
4. tuberculosis Clinics-For near
ly three years, tuberculosis Clinics
have been conducted in the counties,
in cooperation with State Health
Department authorities and practic-
ing physicians. During this time,
715 clinics have been held in the
state, thirty of this number being
conducted in this county. These
clinics are rendering a distinct SER
vice to the people of the counties
who are unable to pay consultant's
fee. New cases of tuberculosis, sus-
poets, and contacts are examined
when referred by family physicians
for corroboration of diagnosis.
4.~Child Health Education-As-
sisting the county school teachers in
developing health habit formation
of the children through the per-
formance of health rules.
5. Education and Publicity-In-
forming the public through the
press, motion pictures, posters,
bulletins, and exhibits that Tuber-
culosis is preventable and that one
may very, often be cured if dis
covered in its early stages.
Mrs. Davis is asking each person
in this county to rally to the sup
port of the Christmas Seal Sale, in
order that the county health work
may be carried out on larger scale
and that the activities mentioned
above may receive the county's able
support.

AMERICAN LEGION AMBULANCE
SERVICE
Week of November Is to 21
Inclusive

!. Week of November Is to 21
Inclusive
The past week has been another
one of activity for the November
driving crew, six calls having been
answered. The communities served
included Elkton, Port Deposit, North
East and Chesapeake City.
With the end of this week the
ambulance has. been in service for
seven months lacking two days
The number of calls received and
trips made and the use to which this
service has been put by the people
of the county has far exceeded our
expectations. Before the ambulance
was placed in service it was thought
that the calls would average ten or
twelve, trips a month. This estimate
was largely based on figures furnish
ed us by the George K. Harrison
Post, Smyrna, Del. During the first
year in which their ambulance was
in service they made total of 121
trips but we have already exceeded
this record in seven months.
1t would appear thus that the
people of the county have been using
the ambulance to its best advantage
and Cecil Post is gratified in believ-
ing that the service is apparently
illing long felt need.

The problem of how to make the

ever, has not always this advantage.
In the early Spring its Towering
shrubs are delight. AS Summer ap-

relieved by the blossoms of few
late-fOwering shrubs or trees, provide
a cool retreat. But on the first cold
