Right to Draw Estates Principal Fought
Seal Campaign By
Commission Launched
Annual Sale By State tuberculosis Board to Start
Dec. Red, Blue COlOrs in 1889 Seal

Hartford, Nov. 21-Featuring the
double-barred cross, international
symbol Of the war against tubercu-
losiS, the 33d annual Christmas Seal
campaign under the leadership Of
the Connecticut State tuberculosis
commission will get underway on
December I. The seal is one Of the
most colorful Of the many which,
since 1907, have provided funds for
the activities Of the nearly 100 local
tuberculosis associations through
out the state.
Red and blue are the predomi-
mating colors which Rockwell Kent,
the artist, has used In designing
the seal. An angel with outstretched
arms Is etched in red against a
brilliant blue background. The red
double-barred cross, crusading
emblem since medieval times, occu-
pies one corner. White numerals,
1899, complete the picture.
Post Office employees have a special
interest in the seal because the idea
originated with one Of their num-
Der, Einar Holboell, Danish postal
clerk. While sorting vast quantities
of Christmas mail, he realized what
an accumulation Of money for char
ity might be obtained from the sale
of an extra stamp Of no postal
value. The idea spread to the United
States, where the first sale took
place in Wilmington, Del, In 1907.
The seals come in sheets of 100,
with four center seals, called slogan

development within four years Of a
two billion dollar trade between the

The estimate, which they descrb-

thirds the entire world trade OF the

Il is based, they said, on the pos
sibIity that this country, within the
next y months or so, might double
the amount OF its imports from the
southern republics. These purchases
last year, totaled slightly more than
$453, 600, 600

of imports" said one authority, can
we hope to win permanent superior

peace, to pray Tor peace universal
and for an end to war and blood

out, recounted 'the blessings for
which the people should return

Lord and ruler of nations and be-
seech him to pardon our national
and other transgressions; to enable
us all, whether in public or private
