Christmas Seal Sale J
Begins; Appeal For 11
Aid of Citizens \
On November 28, all over Amer- v
ica thought turns back to sturdy
Pilgrim forefathers whose boun- t
teous good health gave them fj
strength to found a nation. On j
Friday, the 29th, a new note will j
be sounded by thousands of eager
boys and girls. Bells, all over the c
country, will ring to announce the o
opening of the season for the sale is
of Christmas Seals. This sale is t!
under the direction of the National u
Tuberculosis Association. e
These tiny seals, sold for one c
cent each, have made possible an P
oiganized campaign against tuber- s
culosis that has been carried on c
with ever increasing emphasis year '
after year. But they stand for !
something more, for they are truly '
health seals since whatever helps
?,nd prevents tuberculosis makes for ^
health. The accumulated pennies p
orovide tuberculosis nurses for a a
vest number of communities, clin- S(
ics, supervised by specialists in e
cbest diseases, promote open air ii
schools and preventoria, and pro- r
vide aid for sanitoria lacking suf- b
ficient funds. Most important of I
all, a widespread educational cam- paign
has been prosecuted vigorously
through schools, clubs, and J
many other channels. And to
thousands of afflicted people there
has been borne the news that the
disease is curable if recognized
early enough and given adequate J
treatment. For the past two years,
a definite campaign has been carried
on to emphasize the import- c
ance of early diagnosis in order to ^
discover the disease in its latent S(
stage, especially in childhood, and
thereby render preventive measures h
mose surely effective. "Early dis- a
ccvery means early recovery." si

lis life in the cause of education
md was presented to the school as
i gift from the 1929 graduating

same serenely and happily to its
slose May 6, 1921." The speaker, a
student of the Graham school,
idded as he turned toward Mrs.
3raham, the center of the family
;roup, "We greet with affection the
:o-partner of his labors, the queen
)f his heart and home, 'Miss
?rankie\ the gentle mother of hi3
ions and daughters in the flesh, the
jentle mother and good humored
guardian of the sons and daughters
>f his spirit also."
In closing Mr. House said, "As I
,ry to estimate this great man, I
;eem to see him as a symbol of
ace, family, training, and personility?teaching,
working, leading?
laying not only to us, his students,
jut to the State?'Do pray, boys,
