Chest Clinics Among Activities
From Christmas Seal
Funds

Chest clinics conducted in the coun-
ties under the joint direction Of the
State Department TO Health and the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
follow-up care of tuberculosis patients,
tuberculin testing and X-ray examina-
tons of growing boys and girls and
other measures for the early detec-
ton, prevention or control of tubercu-
losis, are among the activities made
possible in Maryland through the
funds derived from the sale of the
tuberculosis Christmas seals.
The annual sale of the little seals
will be held as usual throughout the
country under the direction of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association, with
the Maryland Association handling
the seals sold in this State. The sale
will start the latter part of November
and will be continued throughout De-
vember
This years design pictures three
youngsters earnestly singing their
Christmas greetings. The purpose of
their message can be gathered from
the double barred cross that is used
everywhere as the emblem of the
worldwide fight against tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is one of the diseases
hot acto f lyrnxxy ho,1t
from more or less first hand expert
nece. There are very few grown-ups
who haven't at some time had some
body near or dear to them who was
either threatened with tuberculosis or
definitely i'll with the disease" DR.. R.
H. Riley, director of the State Depart
ment of Health, said in calling atten-
ton to the sale and in asking every
body to "lend a hand" and buy gener-
ously to make it success.
"In one of the tuberculosis associ-
alton Offices" he continued, "they
used to tell the story of the small
newsboy who could barely reach the
counter where the seals were being
sold, who said as he handed up his
penny, Gimme one-my sisters got
it,
"a great deal has been accomplished
for a great many people in the thirty
four years since the plan of selling the
seals to raise funds to help carry on
the fight against tuberculosis was
started. Ground has been gained, each
year, but much more remains to be
done.
"The funds raised in Maryland
from the sale Of the seals are used for
work that goes on all the year round.
One of the lessons we have learned
from past experience is that we can
accomplish much more by checking
the disease at the start and can pre-
vent it from developing, than we can
by trying to bring it under control
after it has once started.
"The money you put into the Christ
mas seals helps to make this possible.
The seals cost only penny apiece, so
that we can all help Let's do it; and
do it generously"
