In lc oking over the health ac tivities of the various counties and cities of North Carolina, it is interesting to find that the com munities that are the most yigor- OUB in fighting disease and pro moting health within their bound aries are the ones that have the larger sales of Christmas Seals. These little health stamps seem to have more than a fund raising value. They carry the Christmas spirit; they educate for health; they inspire to action. The interest of the people in an active health program seems to to be shown by the number of seals they buv. The larger the Seal sale is in a county, the m )re vigorous is the tuberculosis campaign that follows—not en tirely because more funds ; are available, but because public in terestjhas been aroused through a campaign that has reached every home. J j It might fairly be said that tie 1 community that does not sell its| quota of the Christmas Seals is below par in the scale of com munity health. It has been weigh ed in the balance and found wanting. The Christmas Seal barometer indicates the health ahead and this is confirmed by the mortality statistics which | cannot be disputed. Mrs. M. OJell Jonps, our local chairman.tells us the Seal Sale will begin here on Thanksgiving day. 'Plans have been perfected for a , sale iri our town and community, and we believe the people are go ling to purchase more liberally 01 1 1lie Tuberculosis Christmas Seals j this year than ever before.
