To Start Heire Twesday Parking privileges in downtown Plattsmouth will begin drawing interest for the city Tuesday, when the new parking meters are officially put into operation. The city council has announced that the ordinance governing use of the parking meters will become effective Tuesday. That will mean that motorists parking in the meter ed area will pay a minimum of one cent for each 12 minutes. In a notice , to the public, the ... i city council explains that the Mildred Mall Urges Christmas Seal Purchases Cass countians were asked this week to remember to send In their money for the Christ mas Seals they receive "before they forget it," Miss Mildred Hall, chairman of the Cass Co. Tuberculosis Association, which sponsors the annual Christmas Seal Sale. The drive got under way today when the 1951 Seals were delivered throughout the county. "We know that everyone wants to help us in combatting tuberculosis,-' said Mrs. Hall, "but many times after receiving our Christmas Seal letter they misplace the envelope and for get to send the money in. we 1 are hopeful this year that every one will not only send their money in early for the Seals but also will make good us? of them on letters and packages sent during the Yuletide season." Miss Hall emphasized that $185,000 is the minimum amount needed to put into operation the 1952 anti-tuberculosis program of the Nebraska Tuberculosis Association, and its affiliated county associations and Christ mas Seal Committees. "It is impossible to over-emphasize the importance of re search in the battle against tu berculosis," said Miss Hall. "Re search gave us the knowledge that tuberculosis is caused by a germ, that it is spread from per son to person, that it is not in herited. It led to the discovery and development of certain tools which are today valuable aids in finding and diagnosing tuberculosis the X-ray, and tu berculin used in skin sensitiv ity tests. More recently, research has resulted in the discovery of drugs which have proven val uable in treating certain types of tuberculosis." Miss Hall explained that "a portion of every Christmas Seal Sale dollar goes to research on tuberculosis a disease which leads all diseases as a cause of death among young people be tween 15 and 35. Christmas Seal purchases are helping outstand ing trained scientists in their i- .orts to speed the day when v really conquer tubercu losis.
