Local Navy Week Objective Ras Been Set At $1500.00 1' t, st Christmas SeaU Sales Sponsored by Lions The 1945 Christmas Seal Sale promises to be of greater interesi than in former years for this year marks the 5th Annivensary of the discovemy of the X-Ray. And ir the fight against tuberculosis, the X-Ray has been the prime factor in taking measumes to control this great enemy of mankind. Fundi fmom Christmas Seals are used tc aid ti4e campaign of the Carradian Tuberculosis Association. Sponsoring the drive in Bow. Smanville and District, the local Lions Club has announced that the sale opens Nov. 19 and closes Dec. 25. Citizens are asked to give fuilest support during the above period. It is funther noted that 90 percent of money s0 raised is spent locally. Local patients are admitted for treatment at TB Sanitoria as part of the nation wide plan, very lamgely financed by this public appeau. Something of the history of the control 0f tuberculosis in Canada mnay be told. The Canadian TB Association was founded in 1910, when 200 deaths per 100,000 was the average. In 1944, due to pro- gress made with X-may, modemn treatments and financial support of Christmas Seal drives, the re- cord was only 48 deaths per 100,- 000. But ecent surveys indichte that 60,000 Canadians have TB in one stage or another and 16 people die eveny day from thîs scourge, be- tween ages 15 and 45. So in this unending war against a most for- midable disease, people of eveny community are asked to join in providing funds to carry on a great work. The Lions Club ask the public to buy genemously of Christmas Seals between Nov. 19 and Dec. 25. Tyrone Mn. and Mns. Matthew Wedge, Mt. Clemens, Mich., Mms. Robt.
