Students Will Receive TB Xmas Seal Appeal In Mail During Week

Appealing again this year for Harvard support in the annual National Tuberculosis Association's Christmas Seal fund raising drive, Miss Mabel M. Brown, executive secretary of the Cambridge Tuberculosis and Health Association, has announced that by the end of the week approximately 10,000 appeal any lopes will have been mailed to students in the university. Each envelope contains 100 Christmas Seals and a request for a $1.00 contribution.

In its fight to stamp out the disease that is the primary cause of death in the 15 to 35 age group, both the Cambridge and National Associations rely almost completely on receipts from the yearly sale of Christmas Seal. Ninety-five states where it is raised, and the remainder is allocated to the National Association to carry on the national and international phases of its work.

Funds collected are spent primarily for preventive and control measures rather than for the actual care of tuberculosis, since the latter is beyond the means of private agencies.
