Artists Invited
To Design 1860
Christmas Seal

1860 Christmas Seal was ex-
tended to Delaware artists re-
Gently by G. Taggart Evans, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Della
ware tuberculosis and Health
Society. ''The last artist from
our state to originate a Christ
mas Seal design was Howard
Pyle" Mr.. Evans said. THE
first Delawarean to design the
seal was Miss Emily P. Bissell
in 1907"
Miss Bissell, of course, intro
duced the Christmas Seal to the
nation as weapon to fight tu-
berculosis. The distinguished
Delawarean designed the first
seal and placed it on sale in the
Wilmington Post office. Now,
more than half a century later,
artists throughout the nation
annually submit designs for the
Christmas Seal. A $500 award
is offered to the artist whose
design is selected.
Delaware artists interested in
creating seal designs are asked
to write to the Delaware Tuber-
culosis and Health Society, 1908
Delaware Avenue, Wilmington,
for detailed information. All de-
signs must include the double
barred cross, trademark of the
National tuberculosis Associa-
ton. Colors and copy, must be
appropriate to the season.
Two years ago a design by a
Delaware artist was selected as
one of the 10 best designs sub
mitted that year. Walt Stan,
liz Waverly Road, Fairfax, re-
ceived a certificate of merit for
his design Incorporating the en-
tire family in a double seal. He
carried out the Christmas theme
with gifts, ear muffs, fur trim,
Christmas trees and sprigs of
holly. Across the bottom was
the in scrip t on, Christmas
Greetings"
From 1907 through 1918 the
Red Cross was included in the
design of the Christmas Seal.
In 1919 the double-barred cross
and the Red Cross were both
incorporated in the seal. Since
1920 the Christmas Seal has car
ried only the double-b arr e d
cross. Many eminent artists
have contributed to the progress
of the Christmas Seal campaigns
by designing seals which con-
veyed the spirit of this nation
wide endeavor to wipe out a !
tragic disease. The list includes
Howard Pyle, Ben Nash, Thom-
as M. Cleland, Rudolph Ruzicka,
Ernest Hamlin Baker, Stevan
Dohanos, Dale Nichola, Andre
Dugo and Elmer Jacobs.
The Christmas Seal is an Am
erican tradition. Through the
years the annual Christmas Seal
campaign has grown in strength.
At present approximately SIG
is being contributed each,
year by the people of this coun-
try to support the work of more
than 5000 state and local tuber
culosis assoc ations affiliated
with the National tuberculosis !
Association. Funds raised now
through the Christmas Seal cam
paign make possible the extern
sive program of health educa-
ton, case finding, community
patient services,
and medical and social research
sponsored by the voluntary tu-
berculosis associations.

PROTECT YOUR PLANTS FROM WIND DAMAGE
GIVE THEM A BREAK DBREA

These strong and dependable winds that keep you cool
when the sun burns hot are not as good for your plants as
they are for you. They can make your ornamentals look burnt
and wited and when allowed free play in a vegetable garden,
will lower the quality Of the vegetables and reduce theover-
all yield to a disappointing low.
An effective control or Windbreak is fairly simple to
make. Most gardens require a fence around them to keep out
stray animals, and this fence could be strengthened and filled
in with coconut branches to a height of about five feet Since
most windbreaks are effective for a distance that amounts to
nearly ten times the height Of the structure itself, q five foot
fence would give protection QUIT to about fifty feet in the lee
ward side. If you can afford it, or can't use the coconut
branch fence, a stone wall made Of field stone would do the
same Job and be more permanent beside. Still another APP
proach is the use Of a trimmed hedge made up of thorny
plants such as Sweet Lime or Bread & Cheese a five or
six foot high hedge, three feet wide Of either of these two
plants, makes a very efficient barrier to stray animals, and q
fine windbreak at the same time.
For the gardener who doesn't need a fence, and cannot
spare the space that would be used up by the stone wall or
the hedge, ! Windhreak of pigeon peas that alse produce
valuable crop, is the answer. As any native or well informed
continental knows, there is no pea soup quite like that
made from the pigeon pea.
A main windbreak made up Of three or four rows Of
pigeon peas all around the. garden will give excellent protec-
ton. The pigeon pea is a perennial that will last for several
years, and is well adapted to the soils found in these islands.
in addition, the pigeon pea is a leglme and. as such will help
to enrich the soil in which j S growing, You can get still more
protection il, in addition to the outer w~indbreak, you plant
the tougher, taller and more wind resistant plants (sweet
corn. eggplants, okra for example) next to the ~windbreak,
and the more windsensidve plants such as tomatoes melons
and cucumbers downwind from them.
Ornamentals and orchards also sometimes need p~roection
from the winds for best results. Write or visit your expert
ment station for recommendation if you have this or any
other problem Of an agricultural nature.

uled the s975 million school
construction aid bill for House
action next Wednesday. A final
vote would be unlikely before
Thursday. The calendar
Wednesday procedure requires
that bill called up by a COM
mittee chairman be disposed of

The Rules Committee open
hearing yesterday made clear
that the measure will be sub

TO numerous especially contro-

Barden personally opposes the
legislation. He told the Rules
Committee that "the Federal

nose out of them"
Mr.. Barden also slapped at
the District for what he con-
sidered to be excessive or un-
