To Be Mailed Nov. 22
Christinas Seal letters to resi
dent* of Watauga County arc now
tn preparation and will be in the
mail Nov. 22, Miaa Helen Under
down, chairman of the Chriatmaa
Seal ule of the Tuberculoais^Aa
sociation, announced today.
"I know everyone has been look
ing forward to their first look at
the new 90th anniversary Christ
yias Seals they will use in many
decorative ways to brighten the
holiday season, but 1 want to em
phasize the importance of the let
ter in which they will be asked to
buy Christmas Seals," she said.
Emphasizing that the people of
this area can rightfully pride them
selves on the progress made in
tuberculosis control through their
support of the tuberculosis associa
tion and health department pro
grams, she pointed out, however.
that TB Is a long way from defeat.
"In our letter to the people of
this community, we are laying the
facta on the line. We want them to
know what thl# disease is costing
the community, how widespread it
is, and how tragically it affects
many families* We want to tell
them frankly what their TB as
sociation is doing about these pro
blems. We want people to know
what they are paying for when
they buy Christmas Seals."
"I feel confident that each citi
zen will give careful consideration
to the facts in their Christmas
Seal letters, and by generous pur
chases of Christmas Seals during
the campaign from Nov. 22 through
December will give their mandate
for a much more intensive effort
aimed at defeating tuberculosis."

the Motor Vehicles Department re

Fabrics Played
Up In Cloth es I
More and more we tee the ele
gance of fabric being played up
by clothes designers. The evening
coat i* an eample. It is usually
fashioned of some dazzling mater
ial and is popular for small parties
as well^s formal dances and trips
to the opera.
Some of these coats fre a bit
over done. Remember when you
are shopping for yours that it
would be best to choose a neutral
color that will go well with several
gowns.
These coats range in price from <
the very expensive to "frankly in
expensive." Don't try to econo
mize too much. This is often the
most expensive thing you can do
in the long run. If you have a
limited amount to spend for your
evening coat, it would be a good
idea to make one yourself or have
one made.
Pretty shoes are a must with
this kind of outfit. Treat yourself
to a pair of the exciting new san
dals. They are very bare and you
will need a pair of sandalfoot
stockings.
If you make your own evening
coat or have it made, why not make
an evening bag to match?
You will enjoy this new addi
tion to your wardrobe, particularly
when you make the rounds of the
Christmas parties.
Soviet-Japanese trade talks are
reported bogged.
The National Foundation (or In
fantile Paralysis "taking a calcu
lated risk," has contracted to buy
enough Salk polio vaccine to im
munize 9,000,000 children and
pregnant women next year.
