This means that we are -now running behind last year", stated Mr. Bogott. "The tuberculosis program faces curtailment in the coming year unless the Christmas Seal reaches the total of the year before. New projects cannot be started", Delmar R. Serafy, Ex ecutive Secretary for the Ne braska Tuberculosis Association, reported. "We hope that the. difference between the sale of this year and last will be made up by returns which are still being re ceived. It is never too late to send in Christmas Seal contri butions. Every gift is welcomed whenever it comes", added Mr. Serafy. Mr. Bogott thanked all the vol unteers who gave time and ef fort to the 1955 sale; the news papers, radio and television sta tions with their increased cov erage of the sale; and the many public officials, theaters, busi ness firms, churches, and schools who cooperated with the Nebraska Tuberculosis Associa tion throughout the Seal sale period.
