Campaign

Heads Of three Montana or
CARNATIONS have made state
ments recently backing the an
nual seal sale campaign being

LAS president of the state
federation of Women's clubs, I
am very glad to endorse the
1899 tuberculosis program of the
Montana tuberculosis aSSocia-
tion," Mrs. Mussigbrod added.
Our members throughout Mon
tana will not only endorse and
contribute to the sale Of
Christmas seals, but they will
be found in their respective
communities to be the loyal
workers FOR this worthy cause.
The continuous work of the as
ISOLATION has been the means
of preventing many cases of
tuberculosis and saving lives
among those afflicted.
I'm order that this work be
continued, I urge everyone to
make a personal health invest
ment by purchasing their share
of Christmas seals this year."
she concluded.
Mrs. e. O. Arleman of Liv-
ingston, department president
of the American Legion Auxil-
larry units in Montana made the
following statement:
1.-THE Montana Tuberculosis
association has proven for many
years the increasing value of
its statewide campaign for the
control and prevention of tu-
berculosis. None OF us know
when we may benefit from its
work. But this program for the
control and prevention of tuber-
culosis must 20 ON. Such a pro-
gram is worthy of the highest
Communication, anS deserves
our wholehearted support.
1.-The old adage an ounce OF
prevention is worth a pound OF
cure can be fittingly used to
illustrate the motive of the ed
ucational campaign on tuber.
culosis. Our organization will
cooperate in every way to help
make the Christmas Seal sale
a success this year."
The National Congress OF
Partnts and Teachers is deeply
interested in the prevention
and control of tuberculosis
among the youth of America,
according to Mrs. R. H. Jesse,
state president of the Parent
Teachers association.
1--WE have learned that the
battle against tuberculosis must
be an aggressive one," Mrs.
Jesse said. 1T is everyone's
battle, and every resource must
be called upon if this disease
is to be eradicated. There must
be sufficient funds for not only
a statewide program of health
education, but also to provide
means of finding the active
cases of tuberculosis and their
contacts. Every highway and
byway must be searched. We
cannot wait for tuberculosis 10
come into our own nome. We
must help fight tuberculosis IN
other homes. The Parent
Teachers association through
out Montana stand wholeheart..
edly for the Christmas Seal
campaign.''
