Parent Teucher Activities
The a8th annual q,

The 38th annual Christmas seal
sale, which Is now in progress,
merits the support of every person
in the community It is with the
revenue derived from this sale that
the work of the District of Columbia
tuberculosis Association is carried
on. And this work includes many
angles of tuberculosis control.
Local parent-teacher association
units are sponsoring many Of the
booths at which seals may be pur-
chased, and many other members
are assisting at other booths.
The seals are attractive additions
to the holiday decoration of any
package or other piece Of mail, and
at their cost of ! cent each are
about as economical as any compar-
able decoration. Coupled with the
intrinsic worth is the knowledge
that through their purchase, con-
tinuing effort can be made to eradi-
cate the white mans scourge"
which is still a menace of no small
importance.
Among the projects carried on by
the District of Columbia Tubercu-
losis Association are: Adult health
education, school health education,
research, exhibits, rehabilitation, CO.
operation with other agencies, med
ical social work and case-finding.
Surely thinking citizens of this
community need nothing more than
the opportunity to buy seals: no
urging should be necessary.
