The designer of the 11>38 Christmas
Seal, ldoyd Coe, teacher of color
theory and applied url ut the Metropolitan
Art school in New York, tells
a fascinating story of how he happened
to select a Victorian sketch as
a subject, "I wanted to have a
'Christmasy' theme and at the sumo
time suggested in some wuy a bought
that would be associated with the tuberculosis
movement. After tulklng
over several suggestions with Mr
Newcomb, of the National Tuberculosis
association, we decided that the
idea of lighting a Christmas candle
was a most pleasant and dignified ritual
to use as a theme. Then to give
tliis tin appeal thai would link it up
with the favorite slogan, 'Protect
Your Home From Tuberculosis,' we
introduced into the drawing the picture
of a mother and her two children
The old custom of making a ritual of
lighting a candle was reminiscent ofl
earlier days so we decided next to
costume tlie characters in the style
of the nineteenth century The Godev
l.ady's books were studied and so the
mother was gi\rii th>- vva p like wais:
line and the billowy skirt of one of
th"-.- elaborately clothe.I ladh-s of til- j
N ie'oriati era The little boy and girt
like w i,-.. wear the formal ?o>t nines <
that period These costumes not ouly
add d'-i 'Tit: i\. value hut suggest tieseiitiinentality
tissm iated w ith tieperiod
in which Motile' was idealized :
as well it still should he today."
Red, green ami brown are the predominating
colors woven into this'
most attractive sketch in which a
mother lights a tall candle on a window
ledge with the curtains drawn
well back to indicate a need for safety.
Just as a lighted candle, gleaming
from a window in the Victortan era
brought hope and encouragement to
travelers, every one who buys Christmas
Seals in the 1933 Christmas Seal
Sale which begins on November 25
will help to bring hope, encouragement
and a chance to get well to those who
have tuberculosis and will throw protection
around each and every home
in Kershaw County. How far the Kershaw
County Tuberculosis Association
can make the ray of hope, encouragement.
opportunity, firr recovery
and protection shine during the next
twelve months will depend on the gen
L'josity of her citizens.
The members of the Executive Committee
are confident that there will be
a response so liberal that the goal of
52.00" 00 will be reached under the
capable leadership of Mrs. Henry
Harrison, who Is the General Seal
Sale Chairman.

To All Delinquent Taxpayers:
The Bonding Company which is surety on the
bond of the Sheriff of Kershaw County is demanding
that delinquent taxes be promptly collected,
as is required by law, as under the law the
Sheriff and his bond are responsible for the collection
of delinquent taxes. I am therefore reluctantly
obliged to call on all delinquent tax- I
payers in Kershaw County to make arrangement
for immediate payment of their delinquent taxes,
as otherwise I have no alternative but to proceed
under the executions lodged in my office.
J. H. McLEOD,
Sheriff of Kershaw County.
