Annual Christmas Seals Sale Launched In Iowa

Dr Walter L Bierring state health commissioner issued a call opening the thirty second annual Christmas Seals sale in Iowa on a radio broadcast from WHO and WMT at 12 15 pm Sunday urging continued support for tuberculosis prevention. Funds support state aid and national anti tuberculosis activities and seals began distribution the day after Thanksgiving. The seal design features a mother and two children lighting a Victorian era candle with the red cross emblem. Activities funded include early case finding, free examinations, skin tests, chest X rays, educational talks, motion pictures and posters. Demonstration work supported public health nurses in eight counties. A thief broke into Herbert Clarks locked car in Des Moines and stole only a Bible.
