ISSUE DEFIANT SHE MESSAGE
RETOLD TODA
Residents of Sullivan County, along with millions of other throughout the United States, Nov. 25 will receive sheets of 1946 Christmas Seals in their mail. The Seals will bring greetings from the Sullivan County Tuberculosis Association and a reminder that the continued work of the association in fighting tuberculosis in this area depends upon the use local resi dents make of the Seals. This will be the 40th annual sale of Christmas Seals in this country and, according to Jesse Boston, president of the tuberculosis association, 2.900 associa tions will conduct Seal Sales this year to raise funds for local and state tuberculosis control programs. Back in 1907 when the first Seal Sale was held in the United States, it was confined to an area around Wilmington, Del., and Philadelphia. The next year it was conducted on a national scale. To commemorate the 40th annual, each sheet of Seals has a center insert of four special Seals bearing the likeness of one woman and three men who made outstanding contributions to the first Seal Sale in 1907. They were Jacob Riis, Danish-born American who has been called "one of America's most useful citizens"; Miss" Emily P. Bissell, social worker of Wilmington, DeV.; E. A. Van Valkenburg, newspaper publisher and editor, and Leigh Mitchell Hodges, newspaper columnist. Jacob Riis is honored on the 1946 Seals because in July 1907, after receiving a letter from Denmark bearing Christmas Seals, which had been sold in that country since 1904, he wrote an article for an American magazine urging the adoption of the idea in this country as a means of financing a campaign against tuberculosis, then the first cause of death in the United States. Miss Bissell recalled that article a few months later when some doctors appealed to her to help them raise funds to continue their care of a small group of tuberculosis patients in Brandywine, Del. Miss Bissell believed that she could raise the needed $300 by selling Christmas Seals to her. friends and their friends. So she herself designed a simple greeting stamp and had it print ed at her own expense. Mr. Van Valenburg, editor and publisher of the Philadelphia North American, and Mr. Hodges, author of a column in that paper, learned of Miss Bissell's brave attempt to raise money for the tuberculous and threw the weight of the ' newspaper behind her campaign. At the end of the holidays, Miss Bissell was able to turn over to hte physicians $3,000 instead of $300. "The following year," said Jesse Boston, "the Christmas Seal Sale was conducted nationally to raise funds for the campaign against tuberculosis throughout the country. Since 1910, Christmas Seals have supported the tuberculosis control program of the National Tuberculosis Association, which had been organized in 1904, and its affiliated associations.
