THE OLD, OLD 8TORY
There is one latter Mat moat of us
accept as a tradition of Christinas, It
lp-feh0itetter that brings us our Christmas
Heals. Year after year, we receive
ihat letter. Wo send our money.
We do this because we know lliut
something worthwhile Is bolng done
with our money.
Few of us, though, lake an active Interest
In How our money Is spent to
combat one of our most dreadful enemies?
tuberculosis. The horror of tuberculosis
Is fading gradually. Thai Is
enough for mom of tin. We read each
year of the declining death rate. Perhaps.
we oven know the fact that the
death rate from tuberculosis among
people of all ages has been out threefourths
since 11107 the llrst year of the
Heal Sale.
We have forgotten the despair thai
once struck uh whenever we heard the
verdict?consumption. Wo know now
that tuberculosis, if discovered in
time, can be cured. We know that
the >f-ray can find early tubetoulosls
In time to cure it.
This year, as In other years recently,
the tuberculosis associations are asking
ns to do one more thing In addition
to giving our dollars. Thulr request
Is reasonable. Their having to make
such a request Is Ironical. They are
forced ^pbsk lis to drop our attitude
of complacency toward tuberculosis,
(treat though the victories of the past
lire, tuberculosis is not under control
In this country. It is our lives and
our children's lives the tuberculosis
associatons are flgthing for.
More poisons between the ages of
l.r> and 4") are killed by tuberculosis
than by any other disease. And those
are the young, active productive years
of life.
Sixty-four thousand persons died of
tuberculosis last yoar. That means
that the disease killed i7R parsons a
day, or one j>erson every eight minutes.
So tho eradication of tuberculosis
cannot yet be taken complacently. It
can be eradicated. It will be eradicated-?if
we continue to regard the
disease as a deadly enemy Unit can be
forced out of this country through the
eomblm*d efforts of scientists, medical
men. health departments, tuberculcsls
associations and every single individual
In this country.
Wo are fairly warned this yoar that
if our own money must he used to
fight our own indifference and complacency
toward a deadly enemy of
ours, as well as used to tight tho enemy
itself, complete victory will be delayed
interminably.
We must restore moaning to
.Christmas Seals. We must consider
thom as the symbols of the 'financial
I*ower that Is imperative to free ourselves
ami our children from a deadly
scourge that, as yet, we have not conquered.
