Se In making the announce- : ment on Jan. 31, the last official :day of the 1977 Christmas Seal ‘Campaign, Dobell said Cana- “dians are becoming increasing- ‘ly aware of the welfare of their lungs, and he said the leader- iship role taken by the Christ- zimas Seal Society in the field of zémoking education and com- . ‘munity quit-smoking clinics has played an important part in the «success of the 1977 campaign. He said that although Christmas Seal organizations across Canada got their starts as vehicles for raising funds to combat tuberculosis, their em- phasis has since been redirect- ed to encompass all respiratory diseases, while maintaining a keen interest in the control of tuberculosis, which still claims 350 Canadian lives each year. Dobell said that in the 30 years since drugs capable of effectively treating tuberculo- sis were developed, the focus of Christmas Seal attention has been on such diseases as” asthma, chronic bronchitis and He said Chri Lab at 's St. Paul's Study habits, attitude to- ward schoo! and teachers, clar- ity of long- and short-range goals and home support are other variables in schooling suceess, The following. represent the general admission require- ments to post: "y school Hospital to allow there to accelerate their studies of asthma and other lung dis- orders.
