Christmas Seals

Christmas Seals 

Have Long Been 

On Holiday Scene 

Christmas Seals have been sold 

and used in this country for many 

years, but few people know just 

how they got started. Einer Holboel, 

a post office worker in Denmark, 

first got the idea of selling 

a seal for use on Christmas letters 

and packages to raise money 

to help fight tuberculosis. In 1904, 

Denmark first used them. The 

Royal Family helped them get 

their start by being sincerely interested 

in the project. There was 

soon enough money raised from 

the sales of these Christmas Seals 

to make possible the building of 

a sanatorium for children suffering 

with tuberculosis. 

In the year 1907, the idea of 

Christmas Seals reached America. 

Jacob Ris wrote an article 

on them for "The Outlook", a 

popular magazine. Not much 

later Emily P. Bissel, a welfare 

worker in Wilmington, Delaware, 

continued with Jacob Riis' plan. 

She needed money to help children 

with tuberculosis. Miss Bissel 

recognized the possibilities of 

the Christmas Seal plan and tried 

to interest the Philadelphia 

"North American" in it. She finally 

succeeded, and was given all 

the space in the paper that she 

wanted. This helped get the idea 

to the people, without whom the 

plan would have been a failure. 

The first Christmas Seal sale in 

the United States raised $3,000. 

This was a goal far beyond the 

one of $300 set for the sale. 

The money raised by seals can 

be divided this way: 90% comes 

by mail, 2% comes from large 

gifts, and 8% comes from small 

sales. Of this sum, only 5% goes 

to the National Tuberculosis Association 

for nation-wide work. 

Most of the money raised in a 

community, such as Madison, is 

spent in that community for the 

benefit of the people there. 

Because the idea of Christmas 

Seals is a good one and originated 

with the people themselves, 

it is supported by almost everyone. 

Forty-five countries now 

have, or at some time have had 

Christmas Seal programs. These 

programs have helped to save 

many people from death, and 

will continue to save many more 

as time goes on. 

A project doing much to help 

TB prevention here in Madison 

and all over the United States is 

the annual Christmas Seal campaign. 

Let's all do our part in 

this great fight and buy Christmas 

Seals!

'Lick' TB by Buying Seals! 

The annual sale of Christmas seals is a part of the nation's 

fight against dread tuberculosis. These seals provide a message 

of hope for those who are sick and give to those who are well 

an opportunity to share in this battle against disease. 

You can do your bit to bring Christmas cheer to those who 

are stricken with tuberculosis by buying Christmas seals. 

Why No Christmas Parties? 

For many of you, this will be the first time that your 

Senior High home room hasn't had a Christmas party. These 

parties were cancelled this year by a vote of home room 

teachers. Some of the reasons for this decision included the 

fact that previous parties were poorly managed and rowdy, 

and that in many home rooms they didn't really express the 

spirit of Christmas. 

Whether or not you think this applies to you, remember 

that to be able to have privileges such as these, you must 

show that you can handle them well! 

Calling All Girls! 

Here Are Hints 

For Xmas Cheer 

Sub-Deb department of the 

LADIES HOME JOURNAL, has 

come up with more practical suggestions 

for a dozen days of 

Christmas giving and gaiety during 

the holidays. 

Start your Christmas calendar 

with a good-health resolution. 

For holiday sparkle in your eyes, 

cut down on sweets the first of 

December, so you won't be overstuffed 

by the time the big day 

rolls around. 

More ideas for the season to be 

jolly: take ten minutes a day, for 

a week, to write a friendly, personal 

message on every Christmas 

card you send. 

Have your picture taken (in a 

light blue, off-white, or black 

sweater) with a Christmas-morning 

smile for those you love. 

Carry your own mistletoe in an 

appropriate place by attaching 

fake pearls and green felt leaves 

to your everyday barrette. 

Make miniature holly wreaths 

of your hoop earrings by painting 

them green and attaching 

tiny red ribbon bows to the tops. 

Do a 3-D wrapping job on a 

special package-one layer of 

gold foil, one layer of red, and 

one of green. 

Have a "Sing For Your Supper" 

party on Christmas afternoon, 

combining a progressive dinner 

Madison Battles 

1953 TB Threat 

By X-Ray Tests 

What does our town do to fight 

TB? Madison carries on several 

projects to fight tuberculosis. 

With the use of a mobile unit, 

Madison now has a continuous 

chest X-ray program. In a threeyear 

X-ray program, ending on 

December, 1952, 64.8% of Madison 

residents over 15 years of 

age participated. The X-rays that 

are taken in the unit are read by 

city doctors, and suspicious films 

are reported and followed up by 

city nurses. 

This unit appears in Madison's 

shopping area during the summer 

and makes the rounds of the 

industries in the winter. Once 

each year the pupils of the Madison 

high schools are X-rayed. 

Another precaution closely related 

to chest X-ray is the tuberculin 

test which is given to Madison's 

first grade pupils and to 

new admissions in the city graded 

schools. 

One of Wisconsin's two hospitals 

for the care of children with 

tuberculosis is the Morningside 

Sanatorium at Madison. Here 

these children are treated for 

their illness and share studies 

and other activities with the other 

patients. 

The people of Madison and Wisconsin 

can be thankful that this 

state has the Free Care Law, 

which provides that any Wisconsin 

citizen with tuberculosis may 

enter a sanatorium, and the state 

and his home county pay the 

cost and take care of his family 

while he is in the sanatorium.

SIDE LINE SLANTS 

by Rollo Vallem 

Central's battling cagers have 

,pened the "bouncebal' season 

succesfuly by winning their first 

hree games. The highlight of 

these three victories was the 65- 

68 decision over Beloit. Definitely 

a team win, this game was dominated 

by the fact that the boys 

made up their minds that they 

would not be defeated. Much of 

the credit for the Beloit victory 

must- go to the excellent Job 

Coaches Bob Aiwin and Bob Harris 

did in preparing the boys for 

this one. Thanks to you, coaches! 

Tonight Central plays host to 

the Janesville Bluebirds. The 

downstate cagers will be ready 

and tough to handle, but the Orange 

and Black are still smarting 

from last Friday night's loss 

to Park and would like nothing 

better than to run Janesville right 

out of the gym. The boys will be 

out there giving everything they 

have tonight. 

Mr. Lindls wrestlers officially 

tied Wisconsin High's matmen 

last week 21-21, but after the 

coach dined that evening, It suddenly 

dawned on him that the 

score should have been 23-21 in 

Central's favor. It took some time 

for him to straighten this situation 

out for the record, and we 

can imagine what went on in his 

mind after he made the discovery! 

Tomorrow night the Ripon basketball 

club comes to town for a 

"Crackerbox" invasion, and on 

January 2 the Downtowner cagers 

will travel to LaCrosse to 

take on what promises to be a 

very tough opponent. What better 

New Year's resolution could 

the boys make than to resolve to 

knock off their River City hosts? 

Downtowner Five 

Whips Reedsburg 

Although Reedsburg's cagers 

enjoyed a big advantage in height, 

Central controlled the rebounds to 

take their third win in a row by a 

47-37 count on December 5. 

After a close first half, Central 

opened up and outscored the 

Beavers by three points in the 

third quarter and four in the 

fourth. 

Don Beale, Don Hensen, and 

Rollo Vallem started to hit to 

help Central overcome a one 

point deficit in the first quarter 

to take a 26-23 lead at halftime. 

It was Central's ability to shoot 

over the defense set up by Reedsburg 

which enabled them to win 

by such a margin.

MIRROR SPORTS 

Park Repels Dowotowners' Invasion; 

Team Hits 'Cold Streak' in First Loss 

After taking a first quarter 

lead, the Orange and Black cagers 

lost to Racine Park, 59-46, 

last Friday night at Racine. 

The Downtowners led at the 

first quarter 18-17, but hit a cold 

streak late in the second quarter 

that lasted the remainder of the 

contest. The Central squad was 

able to hit on only three baskets 

during the entire second half of 

play. 

Park went into a stall the last 

eleven minutes of the game. Central 

then fouled in an attempt to 

gain possession of the ball, and 

the Panthers increased their lead 

by adding free throws. 

John Engels was high scorer in 

the game with 15 points. Bill Jensen, 

just off Park's injured list, 

hit well on long set shots and collected 

11 points. Pete Christiansen 

contributed 12 points. 

Don Beale was high man for 

the Central squad with 13 points. 

He played a good floor game and 

displayed a well-executed jump 

shot. 

Bill Gothard did a tremendous 

job of rebounding. He also was 

able to collect 9 points for the 

Downtowners. 

Central Outpoints 

Beloit in Overtime 

Engagement, 68-65 

In a rough and ready basketball 

game the Central Orange 

and Black copped a close overtime 

battle with Beloit by a score 

of 68-65 on December 4. 

With more desire then finesse 

the Downtowners fought off a 

fast-moving Purple offense by 

dint of a six-point splurge in the 

overtime session. Don Beale popped 

in the first point of the overtime 

with the score all knotted up 

at 62-62. Beloit's Podwell then hit 

to even up Jack Hoven's tip-in. 

Don Hensen's lay-up and Hoven's 

free throw spelled finis for the 

Line City five. 

The game was a close one all 

the way with neither team ever 

holding more than a six point 

lead. The score which had been 

all tied up at the end of the first 

quarter stood 29-31 at halftime.

and useful things for Christmas.

Ferdy's Christmas 

'Twas the night before Christmas, 

and all through the house 

Not a creature was stirring 'cept 

Ferdy ,the mouse. 

The stockings were hung by thechimney 

with care, 

'Cept Ferdy's----his stocking just 

wasn't there. 

'Cuz , Ferdy was "broke," and 

didn't own socks. 

Oh, how he longed for some, all 

wrapped in a box! 

So he sat and he cried, and he 

"thinked and he thunk," 

When all of a sudden Santa came 

with a plunk! 

He counted the stockings: one, 

two, and three- 

But where is the stocking of little 

Ferdy? 

Then he saw Ferdy, a mouse in 

despair; 

Since Ferd wanted socks, Santa 

pulled out a pain- 

He filled them with goodies (the 

kind for a mouse, 

Like candy and crumbs, and a 

tiny cheese house!) 

Santa filled all the stockings, and 

then 

With a wave of his hand he vanished, 

and when 

He was gone, Ferdy sighed; now 

a mouse in delight, 

While in the distance he heard, 

Merry Christmas to all, 

And to all a good night! 

Ruth Ann Olson 

Modern Scrooge 

That blasted radio! At this time 

of year all you hear is Christmas 

"mumbo-jumbo." Stupid people 

are dashing around like imbeciles 

buying presents. They waste val- 

uable time wrapping them into 

frilly and pretty packages. So 

what happens? I ask you, what 

happens? The wrappings just get 

ripped off and tossed into the 

nearest waste basket. Folks take 

simply ages to pick the right gift 

for Uncle Morton or for Aunt Agnes. 

It's so silly! Everybody is going 

to exchange the very minute 

the stores open. 

Then there's that idiotic tradition, 

the Christmas tree. Now if 

that isn't the silliest thing. Just 

a plain old pine tree. All those 

sentimental people place a star 

here and a rope of tinesel there. 

Just look at that will you? It's 

snowing to beat the band and 

those stupid people are trying to 

get home with those bundles of 

crazy presents. C hr is tm a s? 

Phooey? I'm getting mighty sick 

of all this drivel! I'm going home. 

It looks as if everybody's going 

to Mass. Here's a church. Oh, 

what beautiful music! (Careful, 

old girl, you're softening up! Remember, 

you're the one who 

thinks Christmas is silly. I guess 

so, but there's no harm in looking. 

I'll just tiptoe up these stairs 

and open the door just a little. 

Whew! All those candles! It's the 

most magnificent thing I've ever 

seen. The choir is singing beautiful 

hymns. Oh, my goodness! I 

just remembered. I haven't gotten 

anything for Aunt Agatha 

yet. I'd better hurry. It's getting 

late!
