C.NLDA'S 26TH CHRISTMAS SELL S.LE Canada's 26th nation-wide Christmas Seal Campaign, to obtain funds for tubercu- losis prevention, opens next Monday. From the outports of Newfoundland to the inlets of Vancouver Island, people will cpen letters and find sheets of Christmas Seals. Amazing progress has been made agsinst tuberculosis since the international meet- ing in Berlin in October 1902. No drug was known which would help in the cure of tuber~ culosis; diagnosis by X-ray had not opened up; there was about one sanatorium bed for every 500 there are now, Despite this, they believed tuberculosis could be eradicated and they were on the march, It had been demonstrated that sanatorium care, especially if started in the early stages of the dis- ease, saved many TB patients' lives. With this fraction of the knowledge we now have they undertook their crusade. Thanks to their efforts, and the efforts of those they inspired, the situation is marvellously changed though the battle is ' far from being won. 45 Canadians open their letters and look at the double-barred cross on this yecr's Christmas Seal, they may reflect with thankfulness that they have tools undreamed then, In 1902 tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in every country. In many of the 45 countries rais- ing money for TB prevention with Christmas Seals it has been pushed to sixth, seventh or eighth place, There's still a big job to be done in which everyone who opens a Christmas Seal letter can share, More than 3,400 Canad- ians die of tuberculosis every year and another 20,000 are ill. Preventing that waste is a big job but if it is attacked in the proper spirit, the 100th anniversary should see tuberculosis beaten or nearly so. GIVE GENEROUSLY TO THE CHRISTMAS SELL FUND
