2STH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
SEAL SALE TO BE HELD
Will Begin Thanksgiving Day
Everybody Urged To Assist

Thanksgiving Day will mark the
beginning of the 28th nationwide
Christmas Seal Sale in the interest of
the warfare against tuberculosis. The
sale in Maryland will be conducted I'M
der the auspices of the Maryland Tu-
berculosis Association. The proceeds
will be used for the support of tuber-
culOsis work in this State, some of it
going toward the expenses of the
clinics conducted throughout the coun-
ties under the joint auspices of the
State Department of Health and the
State tuberculosis Association. Some
of it will go toward special work that
is being done for children who are
underweight, or who have been ex-
posed to tuberculosis, and some will be
used in educational work to show how
the disease may be warded off, or pre-
vented altogether.
Urging everybody to help in the fight
against tuberculosis by buying the
special Christmas Seals, DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director Of the State Depart
ment Of Health, said: Gone of the
splendid things about the annual tu-
berculosis seal sale is the opportunity
it gives everyone of US to have a part
in the fight against that disease. The
seals are only a penny apiece-so that
even the children can help.
"The picture of the tiny red house
against the snowy background of the
mountains and trees that you see on
the seal this year." DR.. Riley contin-
ued, "is a reminder of the courage and
vision of DR.. Edward L. Trubeau, one
of the greatest leaders this country
has had in the warfare against tuber-
culosis. He was stricken with the
disease himself, when a very young
man, just at the beginning of his med
ical career. He went to the Adirondack
Mountains - to die - his friends
thought. But instead of dying, he be-
gan to get better, and slowly regained
strength and health. He never become
completely well-the disease was too
far gone for that-but his life was
prolonged for many years of great
service.
