THE SALE OF OUR CHRISTMAS SEALS AND THE WAR. During this war crisis the dental profession must plan, financially and otherwise, for the reconstruction period. Adequate protection against want for our unfortunate patriotic members must be provided. Labor, fraternal and professional organizations are providing funds for the indigent members in their ranks—our Association will not and must not be a slacker in this worthy cause. The Committee is anxious to increase the Relief Fundto$30,000 during 1917. Thousands of letters have been received commending this noble work, from some of these we quote as follows : “Best luck for this worthy cause.”— “ Delighted to lend a helping hand in ■ this noble work.”— “ I take great pleasure in sending my dollar.”— “Glad to see the many progressive moves of our Association.”— “Hope my little con tribution of $1.00 will help.”— “ I am glad to help the cause along.”— “ Wishing you every success.”— “ May this Fund prosper.”— “ This amount is given freely for a good cause ”— “ Cheerfully sent with good wishes.”— “It is a worthy move in the right direction and I am sure that every dentist will cheerfully respond.”— “I am more than pleased to send $1.00. The cause is a grand one, and I want to commend and encourage it in every way.”— “ You are doing a grand, good work. Strength to your arm.”— “ Wishing you suc cess in this worthy mission.” — “ Thanking you for the opportunity of helping along this cause.”— “A good scheme for a good cause.”— “ With best wishes . for success.” — “ 1 am sending you $2.00, $1.00 for myself and $1,00 given by a patient.” — I am a young man in the profession, but I like the stamps very much and am glad you sent them.”— “ Having been away from my business for nearly a year, I can appreciate the value of the fund, possibly more than some. So gladly enclose check for the stamps.”— “ Cheerfully.”— “Knowing this to be a very good cause, I heartily endorse it.”— “ This cause is greater than erecting monuments.”— “ I take great pleasure.”— “Every dentist should be willing to contribute this small amount.”
Your small contribution of $1.00 to this fund will show your loyalty, cooperation and endorsement of this magnanimous undertaking. Do not return the seals. Send your check immediately. We must discharge the debt of responsibility and obligation we owe to the unfortunate members of our profession. Our pioneers and war heroes must not be neglected. Lest we forget, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
