GIRL SCOUTS AID
IN SEAL SALES
Distribute Windshield Stickers
to Auto Owners.
Various troops of the Girl Scouts In
Indianapolis and Marion County are co
operating with the 1020 Christmas Seal
sale, under the auspices of the Marion
Connty Tuberculosis Association, accord
ing to announcement today by officers
of the 10. al anti-tuberculosis association.
One of the most important tasks that
they hare accomplished in assistance of
the seal sale has been the distribution
of the Christmas seal automobile wind
shield stickers. Few autos in the city
now do not have displayed on the lower
corner of their windsti -bl the emblem
of the annual Christmas fight against
the white plague.
Among the troops of the Girl Scouts
which have been giving all their time
to the sea! sale are: Troop No. 1, Mrs.
George M. Reeder, captain: troop No.
10, Mrs. H. E. Hayward, captain; troop
No. 25, .Miss Nondes McCord, captain;
acouts from troops Nos. 1,2, 10, 23, 27
and an unnun: 1 ered troop just organized
and captained by Miss Eliza I'ike. All of
the scout troops In the city have co
operated splendidly with the 1020 Seat
sale in this and other ways, according
to Mary A. Meyers, executive secretary
of the tuberculosis association.
“The automobile owners of the city
have uniformly expressed complete will
ingness to cooperate with the 3920 seal
sale, by allowing Hie windshield posters
to be placed and remain on their wind
shields,’’ Miss Meyers said. “This is but
another of the evidences that the public
generally in Indianapolis and Marion
County has begun to recognize fully that
one of the more important civic problems
of this community is a continuance of
the lowering of the death rate annually
from tuberculosis."
