About 300,000 Red, Cross Seals have been sold in North Carolina. up to the middle of De cember. This is already three times as many as has ever been sold in the state before and the best selling time is yet before us The number sold will probably teach 450,000 or 500,000 before the close of the year. ;. ' r ' L. B. Myers of Charlotte, the state secretary for the Red Cross Seal Commission has just receiv ed reports for 43 Celtics and towns out of 66 that are selling the seals this year, f These re ports justify him in making the above statement. As all money received from the sale of these seals goes to fight tubercnlosis, the sate of; WQfiW , seals 4 will mean 5,000 to: . be put .into the work.
