Christmas Seal
Origin Recalled
Withl943Drive

The origination Of the Christmas
tuberculosis seal was recalled by Of.
ficials Of the American tuberculosis
institute as the 36th annual sale got
under way.
Back in 1903 Einar Holboel. then
a young mail clerk in the post Of
fee at Charlottenlund. Denmark.
conceived the idea Of a voluntary
tax on Christmas greeting cards
which would benefit the poor. He
gained permission from the ministry
to sell the stamps at post Offices for
q fund to erect hospital for tu-
bercular children.
In 1907 Miss Emily P. Bissel OF
Wilmington, Del, adopted the idea
and interested the American Red
Cross in the project. The first ma.
tional sale in 1908 brought in $135, DOC
and the amount has grown larger
each year. The sale Of seals has
saved 100000 lives annually among
tubercular patients, officials declare.
At the time of his death in 1927,
Holboen was president Of the Inter
national tuberculosis association
and a member Of the board Of d.
rectors of the National tuberculosis
Association of Denmark. AS a mark
of honor to the originator, the Danish
Christmas seal for 1927 bore his pic.

Red Gross Plans
Festive Christmas

Washington - Christmas pre-
parations begun months ago by
Red Cross workers here at home
will help bring a traditional
Yuletide to our servicemen all
over the world in American Red
Cross clubs, in hospitals, at camp,
and at the front. Even those miles
out at sea will not be forgotten.
A special American Red Cross
Christmas gift package will be
distributed to every American
serviceman and woman hospita-
lied overseas. Those who visit
Red Cross clubs will find there,
first of all, list of churches in
the community where special
Christmas services are being held,
plus a Christmas dinner, carol
singing and holiday decorations
provided by the folks at home.
Of the more than 5000 Christmas
decoration kits shipped by the
Red Cross for overseas use, 800
were prepared by members OF
the American Junior Red Cross.
These kits, with whatever Red
Cross workers can get togeather
in the way of native trees and
materials, will also provide dec
orations for hospital wards and
recreation halls overseas and for
outpost stations. Sailors and mar
ines who sit down to Christmas
dinner aboard naval vessels will
have holiday menu covers made
for them by the Junior Red Cross,
and aboard many a transport
carrying service men en- route
Red Cross workers will organize
parties.

No Vacations
For Christmas

Naturalization General Fred
erick E. Uhl, Commanding Cen
eral, the Fourth Service Com
mand, today appealed to all war
production plants to maintain full
schedules through the Christmas
season.
Christmas Day only should be
observed as holiday, and only in
plants where continuous opera
tons will not be interrupted.
General Uhl called attention to
the need for continued operations
of such facilities as blast furnaces
and open furnaces producing car
bon steel on Christmas Day.
New Years Day should be an
other day of production-a good
start toward victory in 1945.
General Uhl called attention to
a statement by Lieutenant Gen.
eral Brehon Somervell, Com
handing General, the Army Serv-
ice Forces, that unless manpow-
er is found to meet deficiencies
in critical items like tires, am
munition, heavy artillery, radar,
batteries and bombs, textiles and
assault wire, we have every rea-
son to expect a shortage at the
front"
General Uhl added: "A drop in
production would indeed be a
sorry Christmas present from the
American people to their soldiers
at the front.
II feel sure that our workers
will respond to our appeals to
maintain production schedules
and to return to war work from
peacetime jobs"

Christmas Poem.

The time draws near the birth Of
Christ:
The moon is hid; the night is
still;
The Christmas bells from hill
to hill
Answer each other in the mist.
Four voices Of four hamlets
round,
From far and near, on mead
and moor,
Swell out and fail. as If a door
Were shut between me and the
sound.
Each voice four changes on the
wind,
That now dilate, and now de-
crease,
Peace and goodwill, goodwill
and peace,
Peace and goodwill, to all man.

The essence of Nevada's di-

reputation of the axiom that
marriages are made in Heaven.
Nevada, like the poet Southey,
believes the evidence Is against
the assertion and concurs with
him that ''if marriages are
made in Heaven, they ought TO
be happier"
This tart observation leads
directly TO Nevada's contention
that marriage is solely legal
or civil contract and not re-
ligious sacrament. a solemn OBJ

the preservation of social order.
