Chib will sponsor the sale of
Chrismas Seals to raise money
for the Griffin-Spalding county
Tuberculosis Association. Miss
Frances Westmoreland will be .
chairman of the campaign.
Already some 6,000 paeons
who have bought the Christmas
Seals in years past have been
mailed a block of the stamps
with the request that they mail
their contributions back as ’
quickly as possible. It Is to
be hoped that everyone who
receives the Seals will maij in
at least $1.00-—however those
who want to really help the
campaign here to eradicate
“the whit,- plague” may mail
larger amounts.
Seventy-five cents of every
dollar raised here remains In
Spalding County to fight tub
erculosis. The other twenty
fiv,» emits goes to state and
national headquarters to carry
on research and administrative
work.
