Not of the type that cannot see, but of those who will not see. Perhaps it is because we bel¬ ieve that anything worth having must be paid for. And if some¬ thing be free, it is worth (nothing.

Why do they gamble with their children’s most preci¬ ous gift—good health- Why do they, by refusing to' have the ‘ shots” for their children, en¬ danger this community’s well being? Frankly, we don’t know. Does it take the tragedy of polio to cripple a loved one before the message gets through? For years millions of Ameri¬ cans have contributed to the National Foundation for re¬ search. After many years and many millions of dollars the Salk vaccine was developed. The answer to prayers of parents of children afflicted and to those yet unborn. Yet, when the prayer is answered, few heed it. If you’ve neglected so far— won’t you reconsider, The expensive thing is in failing to improve. We like to think he meant “the investment is mighty high.” There’s a big difference. Expense is the dissipation of money without a return value while an investment is the trans fer of money to profitable enter- prize which repays us. And with civic improvement, the cost is definitely an in- vestment. not only add to the personal pleasure of local residents using the Park, but will increase its attractiveness to tourists, in turn making it more important to the area’s economy. its not too soon to make your feelings knowl to your repre Isentatives.
