MEDFORDi&TRIBUNE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1955 May iri By Frances Bulkin Church bazaars, held usually in late November or early Decem ber, not only derive funds important to church work, but also usher in the holiday spirit. Through the year, women of the various church groups enjoy the fellowship of working together. The events themselves are gay and cheery. Even the eyes of those who attend seem to take on added sparkle. Today are shown scenes taken at one of the bazaars already held. Others show groups of women preparing gift items for those scheduled soon. Almost as much a part of Christmas as Christmas itself are the bright little Christmas seals sold through the Jackson County Public Health association. The money from sales of these seals goes to protect the health of people in this vicinity through the purchase of machines for detecting tuberculosis and for other health pro grams. Of the funds, 74 per cent remains in this county and the remainder is used in state and national research programs. Also pictured here are two women who have worked through the years in Jackson county in distribution and sale of the symbols which have helped so greatfy toward controlling tuberculosis.
