Soldiers Caristaus Packed Expected le Carry Red Crest Scats For the reason that Christmas packets must be sent by the Red i Cmsm Ph&ntera to the tnlilipra 1 not later than November 15, and ! again for the reason that every packet will be expected to carry one or more Christmas messages through Red Cross Christmas aeals, the sale of seals was allow ed to begin this year November 5. This was the order of Dr. L a McBrayer, executive secre tary of the State Red Cross Seal Commission, to all agents or chairmen of local Red Cross Seal committees. "All local agents will be ex pected to have their supply of seals on hand and ready for sale before November 15," says Dr. McBrayer who beiieves tvery Red Cross Chapter as well as the people in general, in making up their Christmas packets for the boys, will be glad to place one or more Red Cross Christmas seals on every package they send,. He says seals will be sent to any person acting as chairman of a local committee .who will make the request "We have four million seals with which to supply your needs. We trust you will sell three times as many as you did last year. If you can sell more than your present order call on us." "At this time," says Dr. Mc Brayer, "when patriotism beats in every heart and warms the blood as it courses the veins, we should all take special pride in the Red Cross Seal campaign, because tuberculosis is Germany's greatest ally. It. has killed as mar.y .soldiers as Germany has killed with artiiiery; it has sent as many soldiers home as invalids as Ce German artillery has sent home wounded. We should go to its fUi Crocs Seal campaign tiJa year with renewed energy."
