Birthday of the Christmas Seal
Next week is the birthday of the Christmas
Seal. The anniversary date is Dec. 7. It was on
that date, in 1907, that a great American tradition
was born. Today in millions of American homes
the Christmas Seal with the red Double-Barred
Cross is as much a part of the holiday scene as
the Christmas tree or Santa Claus. It carries a
message of hope and good cheer, that tuberculo
sis can be defeated, if all of us work together.
It was on Dec. 7, 1907, just three years after
the formation if the National Tuberculosis As
sociation, that Miss Emily P. Bissell, a welfare
worker in Delaware, ' offered for sale the first
Christmas Seal in this country to pay for contin
ued treatment for eight tuberculosis patients. Her
goal was $300, but she raised $3,000.
Ever .since, the annual Christmas Seal Sale has
been nationwide. It is conducted by the 3,000
voluntaiy associations affiliated -with the Nation
al Tuberculosis Association in every part of the
United States and its territories. The Christmas
Seal Sale is the sole source of support for their
programs aimed at controlling, preventing, and
eventually eliminating tuberculosis.
In the 40 years since the first Christmas Seal
Sale, tuberculosis has been forced down from
first to sixth place among the causes of death in
this country. Despite this progress, however,
tuberculosis today kills more people than all
other infectious diseases combined. It attacks
115,000 Americans every year.
Those who buy and use Christmas Seals are
helping to protect themselves and their neighbors
from this killer, which attacks without obvious
syrnploms. They are helping the voluntary tu
berculosis associations acquaint more and more
people with the basic facts about TB, with the
need for chest'X-rays in an effort to findTB early,
when it is easiest to cure They are supporting
medical research in the development of better
ways of treating and preventing 'tuberculosis.
This is part of the personal contribution mil
lions of Americans are making during the Christ
mas season. By buying and using Christmas
Seals they are helping to save lives and to reduce
the suffering of their less fortunate neighbors.
Dec .7 is a birthday worth remembering.
GET OUT ON THE CURB SIDE
ENGINEERING TALENT SHY
National Secretary W. II. Eisen-
man of the American Society of
Metals told a group at the Cap!
tol this week, "The society, lar
gest employer of all types of
engineers is gravely concerned
over the shortage of graduating
engineering talent in America.
"According to present esti
mates the number of engineers
who will graduate in 1955 from
U .S. colleges is expected to drop
to only 12,000 while in the U. S.
S. R. continues to graduate 100,
000 engineers each and every
year."
NEW STATE BRIDGE
The Oregon Legislature will be
asked to approve plans and fi
nancing of a new bridge between
Portland and Vancouver.
The proposed bridge would par
allel the present bridge and each
would be a one-way toll unit.
The Oregon and Washington
Highway Commissions met this
week and approved petitions to
their respective Legislatures ask
ing for authorization to sell bonds
to build a structure estimated to
cost $11,200,000. It was proposed
that the investment be repaid by
tolls collected on the two bridges.
LEGISLATOR DIES

S. Pier, 70, of Multnomah county

Out of your car by the wrong
door can be worse than "out of
the frying pan into the fire!"
Get out of your car on the ,
curb tide, says the AAA driver
training book, "Sportsmanlike
Driving."
Cold shivers leap up and down
the spine of the driver who sud
denly sees a car door fly open
on the street side and someone
step right out into his path.
Next a frantic shriek of
brakes! And it's only luck if
another terrified pedestrian isn't
added to traffic fatality statistics!
Perhaps it is a little incon
venient to slide on the car seat
a few feet to the right and leave
by the curb-side door. But it's
a lot more inconvenient to find
yourself in a hospital with
broken bones that won't mend
overnight
Getting out on the street side
is not a sporting gesture. Per
haps you don't get hit yourself.
But you can cause a car to
crash into something else if a
startled driver swerves to miss
you.
Exit by the curb-side door!

that tempted the governor to de

When McKay offered Harry
Dorman, director of the state
department of finance and ad
ministration, a $10,000 post in
the department Dorman told the
governor, "I like Oregon." Then
continued, "I have a responsibil
ity to the state to complete the
designing and systemizing of the
new department of finance and
administration. While we get
some help from the pattern of
other states with such depart
ments, the laws and conditions
in these states and Oregon differ.

Results of the tests will be corre
