"Over nine (9) million lives have been saved since the first Christmas Seal was sold, but the saving of lives is not enough," declared Mrs.

Dora C. Wiggins, chairman of the Simpson County Tuberculosis Association. "We must see to it that no family is forced to suffer the tragic effects of tuberculosis, a long-term, chronic illness." "Proceeds from this year's Christmas Seal Campaign must do more than maintain our present tuberculosis control activities," stated Mrs. Wiggins. "We must expand our efforts to find all the unknown cases of tuberculosis in this county.

We must help the ex-tuberculosis patient get back on their feet. We must expand our educational program. We must put more money into medical research." "'We want the people of this county to know what they are paying for when they contribute to the Christmas Seal Campaign. The Christmas Seal letter is the tuberculosis association's only appeal for funds to support its year-round program on local, state and national levels. Of every dollar contributed, 34c remains in Mississippi and 3c goes to the National Tuberculosis Association.
