There is always a moment of pleasant traditions that make anticipation before we open our envelope and unfold the sheet of seals. This years seal, we know, will be different from last years. There will be a new design a new color combination to our and letters a new look. give holiday packages There is always something new about the seal. But there is also something old about it. And we are glad there is, for it is the old which has established the seal as a cherished tradition. Every year the Christmas seal proudly displays the red double - barred cross, emblem of the world wide crusade against tuberculosis. This cross! is the clue to another thing about the seal which does not change. For 43 years the seal has made possible the fight against tuberculosis waged by the 3,000 voluntary associations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association. For 34 years Christmas seals have beem sold in' our own community to support the sound, constructive projects of the Utah Tuberculosis Association to eradicate this communicable disease which stands first among the communicable diseases as the cause of death among young adults from 15 to 35 of age. years The seal appears in a new dress each year, but its spirit is always the same it is the spirit of the crusaders against a deadly foe, a spirit which is symbolized by the -- far-flun- g double-barre- cross. d We join the ranks of those who are crusaders when generous in our use of Christmas seals. ve are v E v SHALL TAKE WE KILL, DIE, OR LIVE?

Presiding over the meeting Friday was Forrest Hancock, who guided the revived UBIC to an unpredicted successful conclusion in 1950, and who was the unanimous choice to succeed himself as president for 1951. Others were Elmer Yergensen, vice president; Josephine Yergensen, treasurer, and Jack Nielsen, secretary. A new officer, Virginia Nielsen, became recorder, for the first time.
