You can~t expect me to stay in

Virginia was very bitter. But she didn~t blame her

was sick and unable to work.
Mrs. Smith hadn't called it

instead, ~Don~t worry, ~children, ill be all right. There
isnt anything wrong with me,
i'm just run down and tired.~
She cidn~t know; and certainly
the children didn't know.
After Virginia's illness, Bobbby anc, Donnie were examined and Donnié had early tuberculozis. He was told to go
to the sanatorium too.
the doctor said he could get
well. Donnie was angry, he
didn~t know why, he couldn't
explain it. He was just beginning the nicest staze of hi.! fe,and why should it be in a gan
atorium. Those interested in
him tried to tell him that if he
didn't go to the sanatorium, he
might, like his sister, see the
ending of his life when he
should be beginning it.

and their fellowmen to lasting
health and happiness.

This episode of the Smith
family, recalls the cartoon that
was featured in The North
American, a Philadelphia newspaper, in 1907. This springs
from my imagination. It was
imagination that produced the
fairy tales that everyone loves;
like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Hansel and Gretal, all
written by Anderson, and originated in Denmark. J ust
fairy tales; but what reads like

enemy of

a fairy tale in another form also originated in Denmark, because of a man~s imagination.
They were the Christmas
Seals.

Just before Christmas 1903,
Einar Holboell stood i the
Copenhagen post office ~ sorting all the Christmas mail and
thinking of Anderson's stories,
for like all Danes, he loved
these stories: As he worked,
he began. to ~ponder over an
idea that destined him for a
famoussand brilliant future. He
stopped and looked at the letter he was holding in his hand
and then at the stamp in the
corner. -In a minute he knew
just what he wanted. Why
couldn't they add _ another
stamp, a penny stamp to help
build a fund to buy hospitals
and clinics for the ill? Some
people say that women.talk a
lot, but it can also be said that
Einar couldn't keep a secret,
for in a short time, everyone in
the office knew abcut Ejinar~'s
idea.

That was just the beginning
of the Christmas Seal, now it
has grown to such proportions
that almost everyone in the
world uses them.

Einar Hoeibell died in 1927,
but he lived. to see a tuberculosis sanatorium built bigger
than anything he kad dreamed
of, and the establishment of
funds for war sufferers and
starved people, all made possible by the Christmas Seal he
had originated.
