CHRISTMAS SEAL CAMPAIGN LAMED TO-DAY

ATTEMPT TO STfiMP OUT TUBERCULOSIS ATTENTION TO CHJLDBEN. APPEAL TO MINISTEB. Press Association— Copyright. AUCKLAND. This Day. The following statement has "been issued by the Minister of Health, Hon. A. J. Stallworthy:— "To-day we launch our Christmas Seal campaign to stamp out tuberculosis and the seals are now obtainable at all post offices throughout the Dominion. In the fight against incipient tufberculosis, childhood is the period to which our attenFion must be particularly directed. It is appropriate that the first claim upon the funds raised by the inaugural Christmas seal should be the children's health camp movement It lis hoped that th e success achieved will be! such as to enable a large extension of these camps throughout the Dominion. The money thus invested will bring a national return in the added vigour and freedom from disease of the children i concerned, and to, addition will afford them throughout life a series of healthful happy memories. - Every portion of New Zealand will benefit and there "will be cooperation with existing local institutions. I confidently appeal to all generoushearted fellow citizens over th© holiday period to put a Christmas seal on every letter posted. / k Whenever we buy a postage stamp, let this be our kindly thought: "A penny for health," thus in the true spirit of Christmastide we cap show our practical sympathy with thousands of sufferers, our love for hundreds of boys and girls, asnd help to forward a great nation-wide i health campaign.
