SEAALED I i CAMPAIGN LAGGING I The seal-sales drive for the Tu- berculosis League is progressing satisfactorily, but the receipts are lagging behind those of last year, reported Mrs. Vern Davidson, exe- cutive secretary for the Mason County chapter. Mrs. Davidson commended the junior and senior high school stu- dents for the contributions during the sale of Bangle pins. "The stu- dents gave quite a bit." "This one campaign for funds is the only source of income for the war against tuberculosis," said Mrs. Davidson. "We need the money to extend the case finding and education program another year." The first 20 days of the drive this year resulted in $2,112.85, compared to *the first 20 days of the campaign in 1948- -$2,476. :I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. ---Christ Jesus An era in human history is the life of Jesus, and its immense in- fluence for good leaves all the perversion and supersitition that has accrued almost harmless. :±Emerson Journal Classit'iod Ad.--Inexpon.Iva and Efficioni. .o.u,,,,,, C, 00wRv 00o,o:jous NU-TONE DOOR CHIMES HOUR 0Uld Be a Wonderful Gift for the Home I PLEASANT/" Oster Hair Clippers L ' CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS Electric Trains • Killmer Electric A.

Mrs Isaac Prichard, so hlsy with imr multiferous Christmas chores, has prolmbly overlooked the purpose of this campaign and we are confident tlmt she wonld not knowingly let such an opportunity lmSS without do- ing Iwr good deed. We have as yet had no word I from the Junior Chamber of Commerce or the Active club, fa- mous throughout years past for their good deeds, and it would not be amiss for Super Ru(tie Oltman to gel, out his little note book and pass around the hat; among his associates. Another true manifestation of the Christmas spirit i evidenc- ed by the primary Cllildren of the Methodist Sunday school with their presentation of three boxes of food for the 40 and 8- Journal Christmas Fund distri- bution. The gift Is gratefully rc- ceived and thanks ar(, extenedcd to these kindly chihlren on be- half nf the needy folks who sllall he benefitted. , Heading this cohmm is a long list of cash donations which makes )oa,sible the purchase of a lot of things such as clothing, sustaining [ £OOtl' and Christmas.ys,-for; the [ kid t mak this th'c first annual ] 140 and 8-Mason County .lournl:at huge suecess. However, the kind- neas of Shelton and Mason county people has not only been manifest- ed by the fullness of their cash contributions. Included in the gift boxes that will be distributed by 40 and 8 Santa Claus helpers on Saturday will be toys which have been rebuilt and redecorated by Shelton firemen and policemen, presents for the youngsters from the Hoodsport Commercial chlb, food and presents from Girl Scout Troop No. 1, over 400 packages of food from the Paramotmt theatre matinees and a lot of other do- nations that have been received by the committee. Melmbers of the Shelton KI- wanis club, always in the thick of good deeds, abandoned their usual practice of giving gifts to each ofher at their Christmas party on Tuesday. Instead each member brought along  gift of food and placed it with ut!lers under the Christmas tree at Memorial hall. The whole collec- tion has been turned owr to the 40 and 8 committee and will be aied to help swell Santn's pack /for needy people of the corn' mimity. * :.. It can well be fe]t at this junc- ture of the game that the first annual community Christmas cam- paign Will be a full success and that many people will receive a bit; of cheer that would otherwise be. lacking. :It is the purpose of this department to acknowledge with thanks the privilege that has been given to The Journal in shar, ing the effort and in turn we would like to direct a big word of ,thanks to all who have had a part. $77,000,000 Bridge Most costly totl bridgc in the United States is the San Francis- co-Oakland Bay Bridge, built at a total cost of $77,000,000. ..................... ....
