Story 01 The
Christmas Seal
Children and adults alike know
countless stories connected with
the Christmas season, some of
them recent but most of them
handed down through the years.
As one might expect, many of the
stories have to do with kindness,
compassion, or generosity. 01 a
combination of the three.

j Take the story uf the first
| Christmas Seal, for example, a hu
mane idea that took root and has
; helped save millions of lives
through providing the means to
'light a dread disease, tuberculosis.
Ttie story begins in Denmark on i
Christmas Eve of 1903. with a I
Danish postal clerk working late'
at his job of sorting mail. As the i
clerk glanced at hundreds of can- i
celled stamps carrying Christmas!
greetings, it occurred to him that *
Christmas stamps might do more
than just carry good wishes. There 1
could be a special stamp at Christ-1
mas time to raise funds to help the j
needy sick.
The Danish king enthusiastical
ly approved the postal clerk's idea j
and such a stamp was sold in D< !
mark w I1 Se nMivy.?
to help tuberculous children.
The great Danish-American phi
lanthropist. Jacob Hiis. wrote an
article in 1907 about the Danish
Seal and urged that something si
milar be done in America to raise
funds to fight tuberculosis, then
the loading cause of death. His
article was read by Emily Bisstdl.
a Delaware welfare worker who
recalled it a few months later
when she was asked to raise
money for the care of some needy
tuberculous patients.
Acting on Mr. Riis's suggestion.
Miss Bissell designed a Seal and
put on a Christmas Seal Sale in
Delaware during the Christmas
season ul 1907 The people re
sponded and Miss Bissell raised
Ion times the amount for which
she had hoped. The following
sear, 1908, the Christmas Seal
Sale was nationwide and has been '
■vor since.

Jesse James Yarn
At Viccar Theatre
| Is Jesse James still alive?
This has been a controversial
question for quite some time.
Even recently, within the past few
years, several men. very much in
their declining years, have pro
fessed to being the famous out
law, Actually, none have proved
the fact. ‘The Return of Jesse
James', Lippert Pictures release,
starring John Ireland, Ann Dvor
ak and Henry Hull, opening
Thursday at the Viccar Theatre,
teMs the story of Johnny Callum
u 1(0, ,, year m -.o’ at i A" <’/y -vain,
of the famous outlaw, suddenly
appeared on the scene and caused
the whole country to wonder if
Jesse James still lived. His strong
resemblance to the outlaw, and
the bold manner in which he stag
ed his holdups, led many to be
lieve that Jesse was in business
again.
