TtfE MAUMN TIMES Four The Christmas Seal What do you think of the Christmas SealT "What do you think?" said I. "It maketh the Christmas spirit real: 'Tls greater Can gifts you buy. For It proveth better than Jewels can That your heart hath room for your fellow-man. "Who giveth a gift to his friend has done Ko mors than a gracious deed. But the seal proclaimed the man as on a Who giveth to those In need. For God. who marketh the sparrow's fall, Otreth not to His friends, but to one and all. "So I look at the Christmas Seal and say: This friend who remembersth mt, Hath also thought of the sick today, Wherever they chance to be. And he giveth not only to cheer his own, But to all who hath need Is bis mercy shown." Copyright tut hy Biigar A. Outtt Ring in Health With Christmas Seals In the olden days anyone could be a bell ringer. Sometimes a cltiien had in r?y for the privilege: if b abused the honor he had to pay a fin-. In All Saints' Church, at Hasting. England, these words may still be seen: "This is a belfry that Is free For all those that civil be. And if you please to chime or ring It is a very pleasant thing." All throush his tory since t h 16th century, which was the golden age of tells, chlmej hive called out to peo ple their cheerful messages, usually telling a story. For .xample, with the passing of the old year the bells Tk 1924 Ckristmu 5fW were tolled in sadness, then, when midnight had struck, the merry peals clanged forth their welcome to the new year.

Since bells have so often served to proclaim vic tory it Is not surprising to dud that the design of the modern cup present ed as a token of victory In sport Is la reality an inverted bell. It is equally fitting that on the re little Christmas seal for 1929 a bell ringer should be portrayed tugging at a heavy bell, announcing once again to the nation that further victorious advances have been made against th. enemy tuberculosis. Each year tb. seal brings its message of health at the Christmas season to remind peo ple that sickness can be prevented. Although t h stamps are now well known, they originated In a modest manner only twenty-five years agi as th. invention of a Danish postal clerk, who devis ed them to raise money tor a tu berculosis hospital tor the children ot Copenhagen. Mlis Emily P. Blssell of Wilmington, Delaware, was the god mother of the Christmas seal In this country. She also -as seeking tor a method to raise money tor a tubercu-1 losls institution in her state and Id ' 1907 found the solution to her problem In a magazine article describing the Danish seal and Its successful mis sion. Through ber efforts a fund of $3,000 was raised and the project begun. The following year the flrvt nation-wide sale of tuberculosis Christ mas seals was undertaken, and wom en's clubs, religious bodies and business groups gave their support to this cheer ful method of raising money. In 1910 th. then young National Tuberculosis Associ ation took over the Tk, flr,l Am,rir , f th , j Cknumtt Sttl has directed It ever since. The seals therefore should be called tuberculosis Christmas seals. Thanks to the tiny seal, state after state has been organized to attack tuberculosis with a scientific program. Together, led by the national body, they have brought into existence much ot the present-day community machinery that combats tuberculosis. Through the Intensive educational work made possible by the Christmas seal, health lews have been passed and nre being enforced; tuberculosis specialists and nurses reach the most remote country districts; printed mat ter on disease prevention is circulat ed in schools, homes and factories, and there is an active public Interest In tuberculosa control among civic, po litical, commercial, social and religious groups. This year again the seal carries Its message ot health throughout the country, giving everyone a chance to be a bell ringer as In olden days a proclaimer of the Important tidings that health Is the best insurance for happiness and that tuberculosis may be cured It discovered In time. And as millions of letters and packages deco rated with Christmas seals travel from one end of the country to the other during December they will 8 pre ad the message, "Ring In a year of health with Christmas seals."

Taxpayer's Budget Meeting at 10 a. m. Friday, December 27, 1929, at the Court House in The Dalles, Oregon. Here is the proper time and place to register your kick on the high cost of county government which is budgeted to cost nearly $400, 000, 000 in 1930 taxes. Taxpayers, study the bidgct! There are only a few thousand taxpayers in the whole county and this is an exorbitant tax upon us we can't afford it. Let's go and jam the county court room to the doors with taxpayers demanding that expenses be cut to the bone! This is our busi ness. Don't be a slacker! If you stay away, the County Court will think you endorse all this expense your silence gives consent to extravagance. One adult in every nine is a government employee who works short hours and gets big pay as a rule. Wc have too many of f icrcs and too many on the pay rolltell the court so!

I'm sure she likes to have a little something In her purse, but she Is proud, and" Thoughtfully Isabel looked at the crisp dollar bill she was holding, and suddenly It struck her what a really teoutiful thing that steel eniravtPg of Oeorge Washington was. She took a piece of paper and cut from It an oval about the size of ihe engraving, and then placed It over the picture. It didn't quite fit, but U showed up the portrait effectively, wish the let tcrlng on the bill excluded. Next, she took an euvelope, and nfter some measuring, cut from It, very carefully, an oval at the left aide. She scrihhled with her p""1'!! f"r a while, got out her mineral paints, and after fifteen minutes work, ?he had before her a neut portrait of Washing ton In a gold frame, at the side of which was lettered: Th Father of His Country for hit chil dren should provide.
