Wakefield to Sell 45000 TB Seals in Christmas Drive
Forty five thousand Christmas seals, priced at one cent each, have been allotted to Wakefield for sale. The Women’s Club health committee leads the effort with a five dollar prize to the student selling the most seals. Proceeds fund tuberculosis prevention and cure campaigns in Michigan, as counties like Gogebic place larger orders. A state tuberculosis Sunday on December 9 aligns local clergy with the cause and a Detroit radio Christmas Seal sermon will reach homes.
