4C THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2018 © 2018 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 35, No. 1 Columbia Veterinary Hospital 576 31st Street • Astoria 503-325-2250 ne stormy December night in 1903, a mail carrier named Elinar Holboell was working late in a small post office just outside of Copenhagen, Denmark. Glancing out the window, he noticed two children dressed in rags. As he went back to his work sorting the happy holiday cards, he was troubled by the hungry and cold children. n 1904, Elinar and his fellow postal workers created a special stamp to help children. It had a picture of the queen of Denmark, Queen Louise. The Danes bought four million seals that first year. The funds were used to build hospitals for children with tuberculosis (TB). At that time, TB was the leading cause of death. Suddenly he had an idea. Suppose that every letter carried an extra stamp, and the money from these stamps helped unfortunate children. Denmark’s neighbors, Norway and Sweden, saw what a great power the people could be, and in 1905 they started selling Christmas Seals. 112 Garibaldi Ave Garibaldi, Ore.

The post office would not let its workers sell the seals. When a young newspaper writer saw the seals, he told his boss, “Just look—a penny apiece—within everyone’s reach—think how they’ll carry the news of what people can do for themselves—what a slogan, STAMP OUT TUBERCULOSIS!” The newspaper told the story and sold the seals at their front counter. The first day the stamps went on sale, a little newsboy who was too small to see over the counter came in and, reaching up with a penny, said, “Gimme one. Me sister’s got it.” Astoria, Warrenton & Seaside 1100 Northwest Ridge Road Hammond, OR 97121 reservations 800-562-8506 info 503-861-2606 Northwest West Inc. Northwest West Inc. Northwest West Inc.
