FOR YOUR CHILD'S FUTURE
—FIGHT TB -
Once again, with the approach
of Christmas, Seward people
have an opportunity to show—
as they have shown many times
in the past—that they are, in
deed. good neighbors. Through
the generous purchase and use of
Christmas Seals now being sold
to support the work of the Alas
ka Tuberculosis Association,
they have a chance to aid the
year-round fight against tuber
culosis in this community.

Christmas Seal graphically por
trays the spirit of the Christmas
season. The happiness of our
children is the purpose underly
ing all our holiday preparations.
In a large sense, it is the pur
pose behind all our plans for the
future welfare of this communi
ty. t
The shadow of tuberculosis
dims the smiles of too many chil
dren in Alaska. When TB strikes
in a home, it often means that
a child is bereft for a long per
iod of the love and care of a
parent. It may mean grave fi
nancial difficulties which can
permanently affect his future.
Even worse, the child may con
tract the disease and the dread
tuberculosis meningitis may de
velop.
Among teen-agers TB is more
common. It kills more young
people between the ages of 15
and 35 than any other disease.
It can and does kill at any age.
Modern knowledge about TB
has drastically cut the number
of deaths from the disease, and
the death rate will continue to
drop as scientific research learns
ever better ways of treating TB.
However, we are not fighting
the spread of the disease and
preventing the development of
new cases as successfully as we
are fighting death. Even when
we prevent death from TB, even
when the disease is “cured,”
there are after-effects which
some victims carry with them
for the rest of their lives. This
is a constant, costly drain on
our human resources.
The Alaska Tuberculosis As
sociation is working constantly
to protect the future of our chil
dren. Its four-point program in
cludes health education, case
finding, rehabilitation, and med
ical research. Christmas presents
each one of us with an oppor
tunity to support this program
actively. The Christmas Seal
Sale is the only source of funds
to carry on and expand the work
of the association.
Tuberculosis can be defeated.
Now is the time for each one of
us to do his share. Now is the
time to buy and use Christmas
Seals.

town this week to settle up hers
and the Doctor’s affairs. They
have decided to live in Califor

Jesse Lee News
By Tommy Dillard
After a bounteous Thanks
giving dinner, the members of
Jesse Lee Home gathered in the
Chapel for a period of medita
tion and thanks giving. The pro
gram consisted of a Junior choir
and a film strip, but the most
memorable part was a prayer
composed of answers by the
children to the question, "What
are you most thankful for?”
