URGE RED CROSS SEAL DAY IN ALL SCHOOLS 8urgeon General Blue Asks That Churches Also Join In Move ment to Further 8ale Surgeon General Rupert Blue has issued an appeal to observe Christ mas Seal Day ' In the schools and in all places of worship in the United States, December 5, 8 and 7. The ap peal follows: "Over one hundred and fifty thou sand Americans die annually from tuberculosis. This is an appalling waste of life when we consider that tuberculosis is classed as a prevent able disease. Moreover, because thir loss of life occurs almost entirely in the ranks of the young adult popula tion, health authorities the world over hare come to consider the con trol 'of tuberculosis as still the most pressing health problem confronting them. EJvefy year the National Tu berculosis Association, by selling Red Cross Christmas seals, raises a consid erable sum of money to be used in a nation wide campaign to combat tu berculosis. This year a special ef fort is being made to Interest school children in this work and December fifth, sixth' and seventh have been designated as days on which the teals are to be sold . in the public schools, synagogues and churches. Because of the- seriousness of the situation, I trust that the campaign this year will be particularly soo? cessfol.

Cross or Its chapters. It is for ths purpose of financing the National Tu berculosis Association and the various state tuberculosis associations. The Red Cross Christmas Seal, launched in 1908 by the American Red Cross, has been Issued ir the name of the Red Cross since that date. In March 1919 ths American Red Cross agreed to allow the National Tuberculosis Association to use its name and em blem on the usual Christmas seal.
