TUBERCULAR SEALS WILL BE
MAILED
Importance of Fund Should be Con
sidered by Every Perron Receiv
ing Them and Response Made.
The annual campaign for raising
money to be used for the cure and
prevention of tuberculosis will take
place this month, and it is hoped
that there will be a prompt re
sponse by tty people generally when
they receive this appeal which is to
he used for good purposes. It is a
ell established fact that if tuber
culosis patients, -eceive the proper
and attention in the early sta
ges of the disease that they can be
cured, and the money will be used
for this purpose.
The 1931 sale of seals in this
county will be conducted largely
through the mails, and letters will
be mailed to residents at «n early
date. It is customary to send 200
s- als with each letter for expc-
has taught that this seems to
be the most generally accepted
number. Besides this number can be
sent for no more expense than a
I os? -r amount. A stamped return
envelope is enclosed for convenience
in <e'uming payi lent.
The committee has no intention
of suggesting the amount anyone is
to give to the tuberculosis campaign
but sends this number os the most
convenient amount. This is a wel
fare campaign in which even
smallest contribution can be
veniently made by detaching the
number of seals one feels able to
buy and returning the payn
therefor with the unused seal.-
the enveloDe provided for the pur
pose. Also he who is willing and
able to do may enclose an addition-
able to do more may enclose an addi
tional contribution than merely pay
ment for the seals.
The service rendered by tubercu
losis committees all over the coun
try is of utmost importance and
value. This is evidenced by the great
improvement made in Georgia and
throughout the United States sinc<
such committees began to sell thesi
seals and with the funds realized
thereby to carry on a campaign
against this greatest foe of youth.
In the United States the death rate
has declined from 202 per hundred
thousand population in 1900 to 76
in 1929. la Georgia the number of
deaths from tuberculosis each year
has decreased from 2613 in 1922 to
2175 in 1930.
Twenty five per cent of the money
received from these seals will he left
in the county for local tuperculosis
control work. The more you give
the large amount for our own coun
ty’s needs.
