Returns Lag In
Christmas Seal
Sales, Report Shows
'Returns from the sale of TB
Christmas seals, since the open-
ing of the Christmas seal sale Nov.
16. are reported to be $1,645.05,
and the total reported from Creek
county. $2,773 80 This means that
S.tpulpa is about $600 short of the
total amount sold last year, and
Creek county is about $1,700 short,
at the present date.
The Creek county tuberculosis
association has planned to have a
mebile X-ray unit visit the county
in 1956. and lt is through these free
X-ray pictures, which are paid for
by the sale of Christmas seals, that
many cases of tuberculosis are dis-
covered In the early stage--, when
they are easiest to treat The
Christmas seal letter is the tuber-
culosis association’s only appeal for
funds to support programs aimed
at protecting families against the
tragic cost of tuberculosis. The
Christmas seal sale will continue
through December, and the asso-
ciation hopes that Sapulpa and
Creek county will contribute the
full amount in order that they may
carry out their plans for 1956
One very important work being
done by the National Tuberculosis
association is an all-out attack on
tuberculous meningitis, the most
dreaded complication of TB in
childl-en, and this is being aided
by Christmas 9eal sale funds. A
method of preventing development
of this type of tuberculosis, which
involves the brain, is being studied
by 20 baby doctors in hospitals
throughout the country
The research is aided by a Christ-
mas seal grant from the National
Tuberculosis association and by
grants from the U S Public Health
service The project grew out of
research at Bellevue hospital in
New York City, where Dr Edith
Lincoln observed that no child had
developed tuberculous meningitis
while taking the drug isoniazid.
