Over 30,000 Christmas Seal
letters were recently mailed to
residents of the six-county
Eastern Region of the Oregon
Tuberculosis and Health As­
sociation. The Eastern Region
of OTHA serves Baker, Mal­
heur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union
and Wallowa counties. This
year’s Christmas Seal carries a
brown and white partridge,
golden pear, and lovely green
leaf of the pear tree shown in
a four unit design on blue and
yellow background. The artist
used a quail, member of the
partridge family, as the central
figure for his Partridge in a
pear Tree design. Anthony F.
Haberlach, Program Director,
Eastern Region office, located
in the Social Security building,
La Grande, along with local vol­
unteer directors of County
Councils in each of the six
counties urges everyone to
“watch their mailbox” and an­
swer their Christmas Seal let­
ter with a “healthy breath sav­
ing c ontr ibut ion. Haberlach
pointed out that “your contri­
bution to Christmas Seals will
work to combat TB, Emphysema
(a cigarette related lung di­
sease) and other respiratory
diseases.”
Your Tuberculosis Associa­
tion, has provided Tuberculin
Testing Tines for tuberculin
testing of school children when
requested by health depart­
ments lu the Eastern Region.
Over 5,000 school children, on
a selected grade basis, have
been or will soon be tubercu­
lin tested this current school
year in the region. Large 14
x 17 Chest X-rays are pro­
vided by the TB Association
when requested as tuberculosis
follow-up to determine if pos­
itive reactors to the tuberculin
test are free of active tuber­
culosis. These large Chest X-
rays are provided when there
is no other financial source
available, to insure that no one
will be denied a tuberculosis
checkup because of inadequate
funds. The Oregon State Board
of Health, County Health De­
partment and Welfare offices
also provide X-rays in cer­
tain instances related to tuber­
culosis.

six counties of Eastern Region
from February 5 through Oct.
24, 1968. Your tuberculosis as­
sociation works cooperatively
with the Oregon State Board of
Health and the County Health
Departments, radio stations,
newspapers, power companies,
police officials and volunteer
workers to make pre-arrival
mobile unit arrangements. The
TB Association strives to no­
tify county residents in the six
counties in as many ways as
possible when the mobile unit
is to be in their area.
Films and health education
literature on Tuberculosis,
Emphysema, Shortness of
Breath and Cigarette Smoking
are available year-round
through the Eastern Region of­
fice, P. O. Box 847, La Grande,
Ore., and are requested fre­
quently by people residing in
the region. These materials are
available for school health ed­
ucation programs, for physi­
cians, nurses and other pro­
fessional medical fields.
Haberlach siad “Ninety-
three percent of the Christmas
Seal funds raised in the Six
counties of the Eastern Region
of the Oregon Tuberculosis and
health Association remains in
the eastern region for program
activities. Only seven percent
goes to the National Tubercu­
losis and Respiratory Disease
Association headquartered in
New York. Christmas Seal con­
tributions also lend financial
assistance to research, to rai­
sing total health standards as
well as TB case-finding act­
ivités. “Watch your mailbox",
mail your contribution, “It’s
a Matter of Life and Breath."
Four Bibles were dedicated
and presented to members of
the Primary class Dec. 8.
