The Richland County Christmas
Seal Sale is well under way accord <
' . mg to a statement issued by Mrs. 1
N. A. Jenkins. General Chairman.!
The several committees have start
ea to work well and more detail-'
ed plans will be discussed in a J

cordially invited to attend this '

Ministers have received special '
requests to set aside November 27 1
as the day to make a special ap- 1
peal for the?success of-the- seal '
sale and to impress tiie importance. <
of fighting tuberculosis. It . is *
known that three out of every 4 *
persons killed by the disease i n <
Richlar.d county are Negroes. Mon <
ey received through the sale o f J
Christmas Seals will help continue \
the program timed to prevent the i
ravages of tuberculosis. (^
A main feature of the Christmas t
..Seal Sale, this year Ja Mail ]
,Sale project. About one'" thousand i
letters contaThipg^eals have been (
mailed to Negro citizens of Rich- *
^ land County, principally, Columbia s
' v. in the hope' that those who receive'
the letters will contribute at least r
one dollar toward the drive. The-*
Mail Sale is a national selling me- f
thod nnd io one of the iilUHt popVil&r ""
ways by which seals are sold. Mrs (
W. C. Johnson, Chairman of the
Mail Sale, hopes that the mail sale
in 1938 will far surpass the ]
1935 sale which was the highest
among Negtoes in this county. '
With more complete lists and a i
better knowledge of the work done
by the seals, it is believed that a
large percentage of gam should be' :
expected. Assisting Mrs. Johnsonf-1
in the mail sale are Mrs. O. J.! '
