CHRISTMAS SEALS
HOW IN MAIL FOR
JUNEAU RESIDENTS
- •
Christmas Seals are now in the
mail ior the residents of Juneau,
Mrs. Frances L. Paul, executive
Secretary of the Alaska Tubercu
losis Association, announces. Com
mittees from the Kiwanis Club,
which sponsors the sale among the
business houses of Juneau, have
just about completed their canvass ,
with an excellent record.
When President Truman bough!
the first Seals of the nation-wide
sale on November 20 he issued the
following statement:
“Tuberculosis has taken the lives |
of more than 5,000,000 Americans j
in the past 50 years.
"Tragic as this figure is, it would !
have been worse if the American |
people had not banded together to 1
fight tuberculosis. They formedj
the National Tuberculosis Associa-j
tion in 1904 and launched a nation- '
v/ide campaign against this dis
ease. Since then, the TB death
rate has been cut 85 per cent. Yet j
I am informed that tuberculosis j
today leads all diseases as a caus:
of death in the age group from 15
to 35.
“The progress already made is j
prcof that further progress can be ;
made and will be made, with the
continued cooperative effort of the
American people. One way of
showing we arc behind the anti- ,
tuberculosis campaign is to use!
Christmas Seals, sold annually to
support the work cf the NT A and j
the 3,COO state and local voluntary
associations now affiliated with it.
“First sold in this country in j
1907. the Christmas Seal lias be- !
come a symbol of the people';
fight to eradicate tuberculosis. To
hasten that day, I hope the Am- ,
erican people will be generous this j
holiday season in their purchase
of Christmas Seals.”
The Alaska Tuberculosis Asso
ciation carries on a year round
campaign in the Territory, their
activities being supported entirely
by their only money raising effort,
the mail sale of Christmas Seals I
end Health Bonds. A Board ol
Directors consisting of 50 members
from all over Alaska is the govern
ing body of the association, with
an Executive Committee of nine j
inembeis resident in Juneau. Mrs
M. O. Johnson is the President u:
■ the Association and James Me
Naughton is the Treasurer. Other
members of the Executive Con: -:
rnittee are Dr. Clayton C. Poliev,
John Maurstad, Mrs. Lee Dunlap.'
Mrs. Kate Smith, Mrs. Chris Wyi
ler, Mrs. Earl Hunter, Jr., and J
B. Burford.
“Great care is taken every year
to revise and add to the mailing
list. We hope people will overlook
it, however, if they should receive
a duplicate set of Seals,” Mis.
Paul requests.
Mrs. Paul also stated that the
Seal Sale receipts from all over
the Territory are now reaching chi
office with better than ever re
sults.
