Prevent TB
Xmas Seal
Campaign
Underway

The fight against tubercusosis can
be won by coordinated effort, just
as the war with aggressor nations
was won, said Miss Katherine Nc
Leod, President of Holmes County
Tubercusosis Association, who con-
tinued:
"The eradication of r. B. which
is still public health enemy number
one, cannot be left to medical and
public health workers alone. It
needs the interested help of every
thoughtful citizen.
This is the reason for the launch
ing this week of the Christmas Seal
Campaign in every state and pos
session of this country and in 40
other countries in the world
Christmas Seals pay for X-ray
and other examinations to uncover
the hidden spreaders of infection,
for education of doctors, nurses and
other workers as well as of patients
and their families, for rehabilitation
and direct aid to those who suffer.
I'VE hope there will be eenere
nubEc response in the purchase of
Christmas Seals this season in order
that their work of mercy may go
forward with renewed vigor during
the coming year.
