Woman’s Club
Sponsoring Sale
Christmas Seals
Pi'oceedii From Sale of Seals
Been Used to Good Ad
vantage in the County
(By Mrs. J. W. Bunn in Greens
boro Daily News)
As OIK- of the most important
phases of Hie work of the divis
ion of heallh in the State Fede
ration of Women’s clubs the 29th
annual sale of tubercular seals
will begin Thanksgiving day and
continue to Deceinlier 25. with
cliiiis ill cliarge of their respec
tive ooinmiiiiilies. During the
past 28 years, tlie national, state i
and local associations have been
financed through these sales.
Mrs. Charles R. Whittaker, of
Lenoir, has .terved as slate chair
man for inany y^urs, and it is
largely throiigli her efforts and
the interest created by the sale
of seals, that the death rate of
tnbereiilosis has been reduced
from 89 to 64..S. Igist year 44
women’s clubs put on seal sales
in this state.
The receipts from the sale of
tubercular seals are used to aid
in some health project, general
ly. to pay the expenses of some
patient at the sanitorinm or to
maintain preventoriums. Raleigh
and Durham liave operated their
own preventoriums for many
years, taking care of and treat
ing, during the vacation months,
the children recommended by the
county health physician.
"Tuberculosis is our most dan
gerous enemy,” says Mrs. 'Wbit-
taker, “as it strikes hardest at
those in the prime of life, the
greatest number of its victims
being between the ages of 15 and
4 5.”
.Another disease that Mrs,
Whittaker i.s urging the club
women to continue to fi.ght is
cancer. An annual physical exam
ination by every person is the
best prevention, she thinks, along
with a study of the symptoms of
the disease. Last year Dr. W. D. '
Jones, of Hamlet, lectured on
cancer and its prevention to clubs
In 27 towns.
“A finer servicd\ has rarely
been rendered in tlU interest of
human welfare thanV^i^. of Dr.^^
James," says Mrs.
of Hamlet, chairman
