I consider it an obligation to help
i spread this vital information through
any means in my power. Therefore, I
proclaim the period April 1 to 30,

urge the public to support to the
greatest possible extent the work of
the Women’s Field of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer.

Winning a war is the nation’s big job today. America’s forests, like
America’s people, are all-out for national defense. Lumber for con
struction of barracks and other buildings; timber and wood products
for ships and planes; and the many by-products of the forest such as
paper, plastics, and wood cellulose, are just a few examples of the
thousands of ways in which wood goes to war.
Much of the vital production rolling off assembly lines is dependent
on American forest;-. To keep production rolling will piake a heavy
drain on these forest resources T>- pffset this diaih. jhg public must
take steps to insure its forests full protection against their greatest
enemies: lire, discas.-, and wasteful, unregulated exploitation.

A HE American woman has made signifi
cant political, social and economic strides
under the protection of the Republic.
Women possess nearly half the private
wealth in the United States; they own
40 per cent of all real estate, 23 per cent
of all stock shares and 65 per cent of all
savings accounts. Women are the bene
ficiaries of 80 per cent of all life insurance'
policies, receiving a billion dollars in annual!
benefits. They inherit about 60 per cent
of all estates. Their collective holdings,
exceed $210,000,000,000. Women spend
more than three-fourths of all money spent
for consumer goods.
Whatever weaknesses our profit system of
free business enterprise may have, it has
been exceedingly generous to the American
woman. Certainly she would not exchange
the American way for some alien ology or
ism that would turn back the clock of
time to destroy the gains of her greatest
century.
In home, school, church, club, office, shop
and at the ballot box, the influence of
the American woman has become essential
to the preservation of our way of life.
