PAGE SIXTEEN HEALTH FOR ALL | CHRISTMAS SEALS VS. TB This is the time of year when vol untary tuberculosis associations af filiated with the National Tubercu losis Association make their one, an nual appeal for funds to carry on their year-round campaign to eradi cate tuberculosis. The appeal is made through the mail, with the re quest that we buy and use Christ mas Seals. Conducted from November 20 to December 26, the 1950 Christmas Seal Sale is the 44th annual one. First sold in this country in 1907, Christmas Seals have always aided anti-tubercu losis work. The voluntary associations support ed by the sale of Seals are fighting tuberculosis bn four broad fronts— education, case finding, rehabilitation,! and medical research. The purpose of education is to reach large groups of people with correct information about tuberculosis and its prevention. The purpose of case finding is to find all persons with tuberculosis so that they can be placed under treatment and the spread of the disease pre vented. Case finding activities of the > associations, frequently undertaken in ] cooperation with official health agen cies, are centered among apparently healthy people. This is necessary be cause TB has a symptomless onset, and thus people may have tuberculosis without knowing they are ill. j Rehabilitation is necessary to help ( the tuberculosis patient adjust to his ( changed condition and prepare for use ful living when his diseasq is arrest- ‘ ed. Christmas Seal funds have for decades supported medical research through grants to aid scientific in- , vestigators in their continuous search for knowledge essential to the con quest of tuberculosis. Because of the importance of research, at least one per cent of all funds raised through the sale of Christmas Seals this year will be allocated to medical and social research. Os the money raised through the sale of Seals, 94 per cent will be used i for tuberculosis control work, within the state where it is contributed and the remaining six per cent will be for warded to the National Tuberculosis Association. The percentage to be sent the National Association includes ' the allocation for research. Only once a year do the tubercu losis associations ask us for financial assistance, but their work goes on the year-round—fighting a communicable disease which kills approximately 40,- 000 Americans a year, which causes more deaths than any other disease among young adults from 15 to 35 years of age, which takes a greater toll of lives than all other infectious diseases. In supporting the work of the associations through our purchase and use of Christmas Seals, we are helping protect ourselves, our fami lies, and our friends from a destruc tive disease.
