Show Central State Committee For Christmas Seal Sale Organization of a central state! committee to have charge of thej Christmas sea! sale, which opens i i x Utah on T' mksgiving day, was perfected per-fected at a meeting at the Hotel Utah j in Salt Lake recently. j Nephi L. Morris will head the com-! mittee as state chairman and James H. iVallis, executive secretary of the! Utah Public Health Association, un- der whose direction the sale is con-! ducted, will act as secretary. Associated Asso-ciated with them will be two representatives repre-sentatives from every county in the state. The seal sale plans this year are larger and more comprehensive than for any preceeding sale, according to Mr. Wallis. This is necessary, he says, to put over the program for the coming year's work. This year the anti-tuberculosis compaign, for the financing of which the seal sale is held, will take on intensive aspects of constructive work. Previously the Association has been concerned with making surveys and gathering statistics sta-tistics so that the extent of the disease dis-ease within the state might be determined. de-termined. The Traveling Clinic, which ended its activities last March, disclosed dis-closed the fact that out of 2,858 people examined, 756 were suffering with active, virulent cases of the disease, dis-ease, and exposing a vast number of other people, members of their immediate im-mediate families. The disease is even more widespread wide-spread than these figures indicate, Mr. Wallis explains, since only people peo-ple in each community who vountari-ly vountari-ly came to the clinic a meagre proportion pro-portion were examined. Realizing that these victims must receive medical treatment and care such as can be had only in a tuberculosis tubercu-losis sanatorium, and in view of the fact that there is not even a tuberculosis tuber-culosis ward in any of the hospitals of the state, aside from the limited accomodations in the Salt Lake County Coun-ty General Hospital, the Utah Public Health Association was definitely committed at its recent annual convention, con-vention, to initiate a movement for the erection and equipment of such a hospital. Utah is one of three states in the Union which has made no provision for its tuberculous citizens. The Utah Public Health Association Associa-tion will use a portion of the funds raised during this year's sale in gathering all the facts and statistics of the prevalence of the diease in Utah and getting the same in shape to present to the next legislature, so that a sufficient appropriation may be asked for the erection of a sanatori-. sanatori-. um. , This, Mr. Wallis states, will necessitate recommendations from experts on sanatoria, and means , that a tuberculosis diagnostician will , be attached to the personnel of the , Association during the coming year. . A committee will be appointed to investigate in-vestigate and pass on the most likely site for a sanatorium, and the very latest features of architecture will be I investigated so that a complete and . comprehensive plan can be submitted to the legislature. It also means employment of tuberculosis nurses ' to visit, if possible, every home in the state where the disease is known " or suspected to exist and secure se-cure a complete sjcial history and number of contacts in cai h place, information on ho.ue treatau :;i will, he given at the ihna of the i.u:sj's visit.
