will if our educational pro
gram is not put over.
Yes, you probably know by
now, I am at Emory Hospital |
for a check-up, and these two
last weeks of the Cancer Cru- j
sade are the important ones! We
know many of you will give
and give generously. If every
person in Newton County could
give only SI.OO for each year
of the life God has blessed us j
with, it would go a long way '
in saving many lives. We can’t
look out now and see
our friends, or guess
which ones will die with
it, but some of them will if we
can’t educate them to watch
for the danger signals. God has
given us a choice in putting
this program over. We are
working hard from this Hos- '
pital bed . . . and we pray that
you will give and give just as
generously as you can.
If you could stand over a
patient, on the Cancer Floor,
at Emory, and help comfort
wives and families of those who
pass on with it there, because I
they waited too late, you would j
surely have a part in this great ■

work. The Stale Mass Media
Chairman, and the State Presi
dent are commending the Vol
unteer Workers, as listed last
week in the paper, for the fine
work they are doing, in our
county. The result of their ef
forts is what is going to count
most. We want you to know
that most of these volunteers
here, and all over the state,
are people who KNOW’ the
hard way, why we should help
with this campaign to save
lives. They have either caught
theirs in time, because of this
program and are living to tell
the news of how you can be
saved, or they have lost a
loved one with Cancer, who
did not catch it in time. So
please do not let these workers
down . . give and give gener
ously if you could walk out and
see a friend ill and you could
give a couple of hundred dol
lars which would save his life
. . you’d gladly do it, and it is
tax deciuctible! So help your
wonderful workers to at least
make our quota, which is ex
pected of us. It would be a re
warding thing, if you and you
and you would give enough to
reward the workers by just go
ing a little over that quota. Will
you? It might be your own
life you save!
We are meeting many Phy
sicians here, who specialize in
the cure of Cancer. Just wish
you could talk with them! They
are giving their lives in ser
vice! If you could watch them
as I do, going in the room of
Surgery . . . staying, then com
ing out for just a breath, when
they finish with one Cancer
patient ... get cleaned up . . .
and right back, all day long
. . . you’d surely hear our
plea! This is one of the most
heartrending floors in any hos
pital. Sometimes you have to
have it touch your home to
really know and understand
the heartache of it . . . and
know what you can give of
yourself, and your means, to
keep a home from being brok
en by death! Your time is run
ning short now- to give for this
year! Look in every store you
go in and drop some money in
the cancer collection container
. . . but give your big oheck to
one of the Volunteer workers.
Make it out today please!

taking care of me, and believe
me, there's not a dull moment
with so many doctors, X-rays
and what have you all around.
They won't let a fellow rest
long . . . some of the doses are
not so bad, some you had rath

be home soon, with our chins
up, and ready' to help count
the money you have given to
the Cancer Fund. I just hope
I find a nice surprise . . . the

And as for the Band it had
been a joyous occasion; but
more than this it was an ex

helpful. It had been a challenge
as well. A challenge that
brought out the best of their
musical ability as evident in
the two selections they played,
each of which was done re

a greater challenge. The per

effect to bring out the unique
