DO You Kn0tC the
Origin and Purpose
OF Christmas Seals?

When you see the Christmas
seal, do you ever wonder how it
started.
It was born in Denmark, home
of the fairy tales of Hans Chris
tian Anderson.
Einar Holboell, a Copenhagen
postal clerk, was sorting mail one
snowy afternoon before Christ
mas, 1903, when he thought of
the idea of a penny stamp to
swell a fund for children's hospi-
tails.
Authorized by King Christian,
the first Christmas seals were
sold in Copenhagen in 1904.
Holboells scheme outgrew his
widest imaginings, for before his
death in 1927, he lived to see it
spread to As countries including
Korea, India and French-Indo-
china.
The seals found their way to
America on letters and packages
and first attracted the attention
of Jacob Riis who wrote an
article about them. Few people,
however, were interested in the
idea.
Then, in the autumn of 1907,
Emily BiSsell, a public health
worker, concerned about the fate
of a small sanatorium. recalled

Burial Place Of Santa
Said To Be In Italy

Santa Claus, otherwise ST.
Nicholas, otherwise the time
bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, is
buried in Bari, Italy. His body
was stolen from its original tomb
in Myra and swiftly borne to
Bari by Italian sailors, who
thought back in 1887 that a
saints body brought prosperity
and good luck to your town.
st. Nicholas, who was tortured
and imprisoned for his faith dur
ing the reign of Emperor Diocle-
tain, found no rest in his first
tomb at Myra. Always some eX-
pedition was attempting TO re-
move his remains.
However, once buried again in
Bari, the saints body was credit
ed with curing 80 people of dis
temper and performing other
miracles. So Bari became a place
of pilgrimage, and the legends
about St. Nicholas multiplied
We owe our notion of Santa
Claus as a secret dispenser of
gifts to a story that st. Nicholas
once saved three girls from a life
