WHAT THEY DO
<■ ___
By Glenn V. Armstrong
Each year from Thanksgiving
to Christmas, Americans from
Maine to Hawaii and from Alas
ka to Florida unite with the
people of 41 other countries in
one of the mast powerful mass
movements against a common
foe that the world has ever
Voluntarily they participate in
the annual sale of Christmas
Seals, those gay holiday stickers
on which appears that interna
tional symbol of health and hope
—the double-barred cross.
Christmas seals, since 1907
when the first one was sold in
Wilmington, Delaware, have rais
ed funds—penny by penny, and
dollar by dollar—that have help
ed to build a line of defense that
protects all of us.
That the defenses are effective
is shown clearly by the fact that
the tuberculosis death rate has
been forced down from 179 deaths
per 100.000 population in 1907 to
54 in 1935.
Against the unnecessary .toll j
taken by this communicable, pre
ventable and curable disease, the
comparatively small sums of mon
ey raised in local communities
by voluntary groups have been
used in those communities with
a definite plan, under the guid
ance of the National Tuberculos
is Association.
These funds have promoted the
establishment of agencies of var
ious kinds that bave in turn
been chiefly instrumental in grad
ually bringing tuberculosis under
cotrol. These lines of defense
may be catalogued briefly thus:
1. 1.200 institutions—sanatoria
for tuberculosis and hospitals hav
ing tuberculosis department.;—
providing 95,000 beds for the
treatment and prevention of tub
erculosis, chiefly for adults.
2. 10,000 public health nurses
engaged in tuberculosis work.
3. 1.000 clinics for diagnosing
and finding tuberculosis.
4. More than 1.200 preventoria.
summer camps open-air schools
and similar institutions for the
care and treatment of children
with various forms of tuberculos
is or for those who have been
in contact with tubeculosis or
who are subnormal physically.
5. 1,981 tuberculosis associa
tions including a state-wide or
ganization in every state and lo
cal agencies in all of the larger
population centers.
But the building of our nation
al defense against tuberculosis is
not completed. The disease still
takes the lives of about 70.000
persons annually in the United
States. Tuberculosis, although
ranking seventh as a cause of
death when all ages are consider
ed, is the leading killer of peo
ple between 15 and 45. It re
mains the breaker of homes, the
maker of orphans and a constant
threat to the life and happiness
of everyone.
Laugh at the situations Jack
Whitney gets himself into. It’s a
scream the way he makes love to
Jane Seymour and quarrels with
his sister. Marjorie. “Aint I al
ways sweet?” And how he hates
to work. "Good grief, this is
Christmas vacation. An apron!
Aw, mom, have a heart!” Dc
you blame him? Played by Bobby

mere he nt here was suing for dii-1
vorce.
“In his sleep,” she told the
court,” he is always talking a
bout some Marie. He murmurs
sweet things to her. And I know
this Marie! She was his best girl
before he married me."
But she lost. Said the court:
“Infidelity in dreams doesn’t
count. Only cases of actual in- -
fidelity can' be considered by the
.courts."
If rich Uncle Toby were to die
and leave you $200,000, how
would you spend it? Come and
see how Mrs.Ethel Whitney, play

have foresight if you manage on
$3600 a year. You're in a rut,
David; take a risk now and then
—venture out. You can get $2000
easily enough—if you want to.”
