ALEXANDRIANS
OPEN SEAL
CAMPAIGN

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 26.
Alexandria's annual drive to sell
Christmas Seals in its unceasing
fight against tuberculosis swung
into reality today as 100000
seals were dumped into the mails
here.
With all Of the seals being ad-
dressed to citizens Of Alexandria.
Mrs. L. w. Van Bibber, chairman
of the local chapter, said it is ex-
pected that this years sale of
these stamps will exceed all pre-
records.
Assistance to the city-wide
solicitation has been given by
virtually every civic organization
in the city, including add frater-
nal, social and service organlza-
tionS.
Address $500 Envelopes
Members Of the Business and
Professional Women's Club OF
Alexandria addressed the neces-
sary $500 envelopes to carry the
stamps to q number of citizens
who buy the seals annually, while
display sales will be conducted
from points Of vantage through
out the city, including the banks,
post office and other public
buildings.
Preparation Of the literature,
insertion of the stamps in the en-
velopes and the sealing of the en-.
velopes was done by members OF
the Alexandria Volunteer Fire De-
partment.
Printed in sections Of 100
stamps each, the seals are espe-
cially designed in keeping with
Christmas and sell for one cent
each.
Urges Remittance
Since the association has dis
played unusual merit in it's work,
it is urged locally by Mrs. j. B.
Gordon, seal sale chairman, that
all Alexandrians receiving the let
ters remit promptly for the stamps
inclosed in order that the re-
turns may be tabulated as early
as possible. The State associa-
tion, Mrs. Gordon continued, is
now contributing to the support
of the tuberculosis Sanatorium in
the State, where nearly 1000 beds
are maintained for tuberculosis
patients.
Beginning it's work here in 1920
under the State association with
Mrs. Tom Robinson as chairman,
the first sale conducted in Alex
andria netted $515, while receipts
for the past year netted 81 200,
with a much higher record being
sought this year.

statement appealing to them not to do
so. If growers fail to take advantage
of the new program, he said, over
production of cash crops may lead to
the "wrecking of their prices and, the

Farmers, he advised, should not

Although production control pro

SCHOOLS STORM BOUND
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
OLD TIMERS DECLARE

SnOwbound for the first time in
the history of the city, the schools
of Ely were closed on Friday.
The storm of Thursday, when an
attempt was made to keep things
going, because pupils appeared be-
fore they could be warned to stay at
home, was the worst experienced in
the ken of old timers, it is said.
The drifts on the south side of
fences and along the city streets
were impenetrable to snowplows
other than the tractor driven and
city crews with shovels worked hard
to get path through on the larger
number of the walks more heavily
Travelled.
The school pupils were notified
late Thursday afternoon not to ap-
pear on Friday and holiday in the
schools was declared.
The county and state crews worked
day and night on the highways lead
ing in and out of the city. Statesmen
who were here when the storm
struck early Thursday morning, were
compelled to remain over until Sat
urday before being able to get out
of town. Saturday the trucks came
through from Virginia with supplies.
Trains were on time, however, the
storm not having affected their
running time to any alarming ex-
tent. The plows on the engines
were able to push through the drifts
in the cuts.
