Show THE SALT lKE TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1962 Page Three United Fund Reports $888,835 at Third Meeting A total ' of $888,835 was the money reported in the United Fund Thanksgiving report meet-ing held at the Newhouse Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City. The report was made in con-nection with the 1962 United Fund ' appeal for funds. Cam-paign chairman Harold Molitor said that. the results of Wednes-day's i meeting were more than encouraging and certainly ,the $998,445 goal is now in sight. Mr. Molitor also announced that approximaelty $62,000 definitely is in sight from some 75 com-panies that have not as yet made final reports. The total results of this year's campaign will officially be re-ported at the eighth annual meet of the United Fund which is scheduled for Dec. 11 at the Hotel Utah. This announcement was made known by J. P. Gib- - bons, president of the Fund. It was turtles, turkeys, and quartet singing as the reports came in at the luncheon meeting at which Herbert L. Price was master of ceremonies. During the campaign, two pet turtles have been passed from one cam-paigner to another depending on who happened to be the low man on the money reports. The "Voice of the Turtles" was heard last Wednesday. The UF turtles seem to be of the opinion that they are not going to retain the title of the "slow ones" after looking over some of the efforts and results of the United Fund Cam-paigners. All divisional reports were made by song Wednesday. The singing was supplied by the Am-bassadors, a local quartet whose members include Hal B. Gunder-se- n, T. Max Evans, Charles E. Foster and E. Dale Kirkham. Songs such as "Up a Lazy River," "Talk of the Town" and "I Ain't Down Yet" were most appropriate for the occasion. Nearly $699,405 was reported at the last report meeting, held two weeks ago. Mr. Molitor said that the steps to the top of the UF goal loadder .were definitely in sight. Christmas Seals Become a;Part Of Holiday Season , . "Christmas , seals,, mailed, , to Utahns for. the . 56th year, are now as much part of the Christ-mas scene as trees, reindeer and Santa Claus," Gene Fullmer said Thursday. . , Gene is honorary chairman for the 1962 Christmas Seal cam-paign, sponsored in Utah by the Utah Tuberculosis and Health Association. "The story of the first Christ-mas seal is . an interesting ex-ample of American community service and determination. It's a story of traditional . American enterprise," said Gene. Just before Christmas in 1907, Emily Bissell, a civic leader in Delaware, was asked to raise $300 to save a small tuberculosis treatment center in that state. Without the funds, the center would close and TB patients turned out in the street. Then Miss Bissell, a Red Cross Volunteer, read an article by Jacob Riis. a Danish American writer and philanthropist; Mr. Riis had received on his mail from Denmark a Christmas seal sold there to help support a hos-pital ' for tuberculosis children. He suggested that the same thing be done in America. Emily Bissell persuaded a printer to turn out some seals. They were put on sale for one penny apiece. Because of a lack of publicity they didn't sell until a paper in Philadelphia, the North American, completely en-circled the front page with Miss Bissell's Christmas Seals. Re-sult proceeds of $3,000 instead of the $300 Miss Bissell sought. The TB center was saved and patients who might have other-wise have infected others were kept under treatment. The next year, 1908, was the first nation wide distribution of Christmas Seals. Since that time 7 million lives have been saved from tuberculosis. "Now the little colorful seals are very much a part of good holiday cheer. Many families who have changed address or do not receive their Seal letter may write the State TB Association in Salt Lake City for the Seals," Gene said. "Christmas Seal contributions help to find people ill with TB; provide some of the necessary services for TB patients; encou-rage legislation needed for aid public health agnecies; and pro-mote the health of the commu-munit- y. I urge you to mail your contribution today." v 'W" DAWT DISTILLERY CO., PANT, KENTUCKY Folks; meet iny - driHe ' and Joy .

Low resistance can lead to colds, sore throats and pneumonia.4 A further conse-quence of low resistance may be rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever has been found to have its beginning and culturing stages in strep sore throat, scarlet fever and some ear infections. All of these in-fections are caused by the strep germ. Thus it stands to reason that if strep infection is pre-vented or controlled, the likeli-hood of damaging rheumatic fever is low. Most strep infections are in the form of "strep sore throats," but not every sore throat is a strep throat. If your child has a bad sore throat call your doctor, especially if it came on sudden-ly, if there is difficulty in swal-lowing, swollen neck glands, a high fever, nausea or vomiting. Rheumatic fever is a "re-peater" and may effect many parts of the body. It is different from many childhood diseases because you can get it more than once. And with each attack there is a new . chance that the heart will be damaged resulting in rheumatic heart disease. Remember, as a precaution to keep your child healthy and well these winter months visit your doctor if you suspect any infec-tion.
