raised more money than the prev
ious years campaign. His first
Christmas Seal Campaign. in 1885,
produced $16,250, compared to
$14.455 for the previous campaign.
This years preliminary total,
$112,750, exceeds the 1859 contri-
buttons by more than $1,000.
Mr. Evans is quick to deny cred
il for the upward trend in Christ
mas Seal contributions.
"The credit for this goes to the
people of Delaware" he said. I'VE
only gave thein the opportunity
and they came through splen-
didly."
During his lengthy career, Mr..
Evans has held a number OF ma
tional positions, including the
chairmanship of three committees
of the National Conference of Tu-
berculosis Workers-business adj
ministration committee, health ed
ucation committee, and Christmas
Seal Campaign committee. He
served two terms as chairman of
the latter group. once in 1941 when
the committee selected the Seal
design submitted by Steyan Do
hanos, the artist who served as
national honorary chairman of the
1860 Christmas Seal Campaign.
In 1910 Mr.. Evans was elected
president of the Delaware Health
Council, an organization of health
agencies. He served as chairman
of the mental and physical health
division of the Welfare Council for
several years, and was a member
of the advisory committee of the
State Board of Health. For many
years he has been a member of
the executive committee of the
Emily p. Bissell Hospital.
He has made speaking appear
ances throughout the nation in
connection with the Christmas
Seal Campaign and the overall tu-
berculosis program.
For 13 years he worked closely
with Miss Emily p. Bissell, the
Wilmingtonian who introduced the
Christmas Seal to the United
States and who served as presi-
dent of the Delaware Tuberculo-
sis and Health Society from 1908
until her death in 194S.
Anyone who worked with Miss
Bissell had to be inspired" he
comments. You had TO share her
great enthusiasm for work with
TB and the Christmas Seal Cam

Mr. Evans worked closely with
Miss Bissell in gaining approval
for a state appropriation creating
the Edgewood Sanatorium for col

he has appeared in performances
in North Carolina and Baltimore
and has performed with the Rob-
inhood Theatre In Arden and the
University of Drama Group in
Newark.
Dr. Gerald A. Beatty, president
of the Delaware tuberculosis and
Health Society. said:
II have a feeling of great per-
sonal loss. His devotion to our
organization which was a large
part of his life. inspired the same
devotion in all of us. His great
personal charm, his warmness of
heart, his easy. friendly. stimulat-
ing personality seem to rub off on
all of us so that our meetings be-
come not a duty or a chore but a
pleasant respite which we would
only miss when absolutely nee
essary."
Mr.. Stone, expressing the high
regard with which Mr.. Evans is
held in the National tuberculosis
Association, commented:
Tag Evans has devoted his full
energies and enthusiasm to the
cause of tuberculosis control and
the promotion of public health
during the 81 years since 1924. In
his work with the Maryland Tu-
berculosis Association he estab-
lished an early name and reputa-
ton as one with vision and imagi-
nation and the Delaware Society
can look back with pride upon the
progress it has made under his
constant guidance since assuming
the position of executive secretary
in 1885.
During these years. Delaware
has always occupied position of
leadership in both its program and
its Christmas Seal Campaign. Tag
Evans accomplishments have been
recognized beyond the confines of
his own state. We in the National
Association express regret at his
retirement from full-time profess
sional participation in our joint
endeavors but look back on this
association with pleasure, and look
forward with confidence to our
continued association with him as
a man as friend, and as de-
voted fellow worker"

MIR. Evans career closed on a
dramatic note. A total of $112, 500
has been received from the 1860
Christmas Seal Campaign the
largest amount ever to be contri-
buted for this cause by Delawar-
cans.
His accomplishments were noted
in a letter from James G.. Stone,
executive secretary of the National
Tuberculosis Association, who
pointed out that in 1866 the Ma
tional Conference of tuberculosis
Workers awarded Mr.. Evans cer-
tifieate of appreciation for the
example of his courage, stead
fastness and devotion in the high
task to which he has given so
much of the work of his hands.
his mind. and his life. and for the
inspiration and wisdom of his lead
ership."
Mr.. Evans entered the tubercu-
losis field in August, 1924, as as
sistant executive secretary of the
Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
AAOls AutCA hC W1o
appointed executive secretary of
the Delaware TB group. then
known as the Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis Society.
AS administrative head of the
Society, MIR. Evans spearheaded
many programs which were of di-
rect benefit to the health of Della
wareans.
He served on the original plan
ming committee for. the Delaware
Statewide Chest X-Ray Survey, a
three-month blitz in 1853 during
which II mobile chest X-ray units
blanketed the state in the only
survey of its type ever conducted
in the United States. The Della
ware tuberculosis and Health So
ciety contributed 100000 in funds
and an additional $4,000 in SER
vices for this project.
He was a member of the plan
ming committee which started the
program of statewide tuberculo-
sis case-finding. Now the opera
tion is performed on a cooperative
basis between the Society and the
State Board of Health. In Mr..
Evans early days in TB work, the
use of X-rays was unknown; then
a microscope was employed.
Later, X-rays were introduced
and the State of Delaware aequir-
ed two mobile X-ray trucks. One
of these was purchased by the
state with federal funds and the
second was contributed by the Del
aware tuberculosis and Health
Society At present the Society
pays for the maintenance of the
two units.
Mr.. Evans was instrumental in
the addition of the social service
sell Hospital, where Delaware tu-
berculous patients are treated. To-
day the TB society pays the sal
airy of two full-time oceupational
therapists and one nursing teach
er and subsidies the rehabilita-
tion program at the hospital.
He initiated a scholarship pro-
gram for nursing students who
attend the University of Delaware.
And under his direction the Della
ware tuberculosis and Health So
ciety has started an extensive re-
search program, considering this
TO be the key to the ultimate
eradication of tuberculosis.
In Mr.. Evans first year as ex-
ecutive secretary. he extended the
Society's organization and field
work throughout the state He Ia
ter introduced a program of tu-
berculosis education for school
children and for adults.
An outstanding example of the
respect with which Delawareans
regard the tuberculosis movement
in Delaware is the fact that ev-

appeal to the Supreme Court but
has 60 days in which to do this.
Judge Storey heard arguments
by Mr.. Hughes in support of his
petition. for a new trial. Chief
contention of the defense attorney
was that intoxication produced by
drug addiction should be consider
ed in the same manner as invol-
untary intoXication from alcohol
He acknowledged that voluntary
intoxication from alcohol had been
banned as a defense for crime. but
that involuntary intoxication would
be a valid defense. He explained
the involuntary aspect by saying
that this would be a fact if some
one was forced to drink alcohol
against his will or through fraud
Mr.. Hughes continued by saying
that intoXication through drug ad-
dition is involuntary and that Mrs.
Fisher was unable to break her
barbiturate addiction. II realize,
that this is asking the court to
break into new ground. he told
Judge Storey.
In denying the new trial Judge
Storey said that in his charge to
the jury. he had felt that he had
to apply the law as it defines in
sanity.
Mr.. Hughes also objected to ex-
tensive testimony introduced at the
trial regarding former illnesses of
Mr.. Fisher prior to the time that
the state set forth that Mrs. Fish
er had purchased poison.
He objected also to testimony of
state police detectives which he
said were opinions rather than the
mere relation of facts. Chief among
those stressed was the remark of
detectives that it was unusual to
find such a large quantity of read
ing matter devoted to medicines.

District Court Judge Luther
W. Youngdahl must resolve a
double contradiction when st.
Elizabeths Hospital comes be-
fore him soon to seek the re-
lease of Elmer W. Petit, jr.
Petit, 26, was committed to
the hospital last April 26 by
the judge, who decided that he
was mentally i'll in May, 1857,
when he was charged with
holding up a restaurant here
Judge Youngdahl took this
action, even though a jury
already had decided Petit was
guilty of knocking a Washing
ton restaurant clerk over the
head with a pistol and taking
$500.
At the trial last spring a
psychologist from the Patux-
ent Institution near Jessups,
Md, who examined Petit in
1857, testified that Petit was

holdup. DR.. Mauris M. Plat

kin of st. Elizaberhs, however

But the judge, in finding
Petit not guilty by reason of
insanity. discounted DR.. Plat
kin'S testimony because the ST..

examine Petit until 1860
three years after the crime.
Reversal for Prosecutor
Now DR.. Platkin and the hos

urging his release and the
United States attorneys office,
which at the trial sought to
prove his sanity, finds itself in
the position now of trying to
prove he was and is mentally
i'll.
This would seem to be a
contradiction. but the switch

a very unsanitary condition when
the sewer ponds were not con-
Structed TO meet the standards
of the United States Public Health
Service. The community indicated
that the ground was such that there
was not any seepage and that eva
poration alone did not take care
of the overflow. The sewer flowed
into the Kinlichee Wash and this
water is used by the Navajos for
human consumption and livestock.
1t is believed that an official from
Plant Design and Construction
from Albuquerque, indicated that
the overflow was caused by run
ming too much water at the school,
however, the community is aware
of the water shortage at the Kim
lichee School and therefore it could
not be on account of using too much
water.
The principals answer to this
was that he reported this imme-
diately when the overflow occur
red and it was examined by an Of
ficial from Albuquerque, however,
nothing was done until after a
memorandum was directed to the
Window Rock office by the Kinli-
Chee Councilmen. The Branch of
Education of the Brueau turned this
over to the Roads Department who
merely changed the direction of the
flow into the field away from the
creek. 1t was the consensus of the
people that this was not the proper
way to construct sewer pond in
any community.

ranging to a high of $332,341.
The bridges to be constructed
will include a 42O foot bridge at
Lukachukai creek: the 28Ofeet long
bridge at Lower Aqua Sal and one
on the Upper Lukachukai, 1O3 feet
