Judge Beck Urges Griffinites '
To Purchase Christmas Seals
Twenty-one years ago on Christ
mas Eve a young man stood at
his work in a post-office in far
away Denmark. Thousands of
Christmas letters were passing
through his hands.
And as he worked he thought
how wonderful it would be if all
the happy people who were send
ing glad Yuletide messages would
add a special Christmas stamp to
their letters and cards. That ex
tra money would build a hospital
in his town for the children sick
with tuberculosis.
Goes To King.
,
The young man took his big
idea to the king and fifteen of
Denmark. His plans were enthu
siastically greeted. The first
Christmas seals appeared in Den
mark in 1904,, and the little chil
dren got their hospital.
From that simple beginning
grew the widespread custom of
selling Christmas seals to fight
the great white plague.
In Griffin last-year the commit
tee for the prevention of tubercu
losis spent several hundred dol
lars in caring for the unfortunate
who were afflicted with this ter
rible disease.
Efforts Not In aVin.
If that noble band of women did
no more than teach those afflicted
how to care for themselves and
not spread the terrible plague to
their loved ones and possibly to
your loved ones through the kitch
