You don’t have to put any writing in- side of this letter unless you are noudiak | | a check. The only writing you have to do is on the envelope, and then you have to write only six letters—six letters that spell a word that strikes dread into hun- dreds of thousands of hearts in the United States—CANCER. After oyu have written the word on an envelope and have put your check or money inside the envelope and have sealed it, drop it into one of the slots in the post office, and the letter will find its way to the American Cancer Society. Last year the society collected $4,- says: “We dread cancer above all other diseases. Therefore, it stands among the causes of suffering and death as man- kind’s Number One Enemy. “Every year scientific advances make cer. “Every year we grow older, however, “The race between these two factors is the vital thing which concerns us. “We are cancerned with it in every age of life. Even among babies, children and youths cancer takes an appalling toll. This year it will kilt nearly 2,000 Ameri- can boys and girls who will not live to see their twenty-first birthday anniversary. “One out of every six deaths among people of middle age is caused by cancer. Thus a vast number of cancer’s victims are stricken when still at the height of their powers.” An all-out fight is on against cancer, and every American who is in a position to help financially should mail that enve- lope containing money addressed to ‘“‘Can- cer’’. Such a letter is your most important letter to mail now. One American dies every three minutes from cancer. Many of these deaths are needless. THE MIND MUST BE FREE If the truth is destined to make men free, and the statement comes from ex- beings to diligently search for the truth, whatever may be the result of their sincere study. Obviously, it is impossible for a mind, steeped in ignorance, prejudice, supersti- tion or self-interest, to make an approach to the objective consideration of facts that tend to reveal the truth. Consequently, those who are inter- | ested in the truth, an objective of | human endeavor, should seek to rid them- | as prejudice, superstitu- | toin and self-interest. Teachers and Preachers, who assume to lead others, impedimenta that otherwise bind their vision. The same obligation rests upon all of us. In a free country the citizens have a right to express themselves on any subject, and they never hesitate to give vent to their thoughts. At the polls they express their opinions on men and measures; how- ever, too many do not take advantage of their duty and privilege by registering, which costs no more than a little effort, is | a requirment of fhe law and a license to cast their vote. WHY BLACK MARKET 5 : 1 A representative of the American | Meat Institute reports that “impartial | 10:45 housewife shoppers” checked on ceiling prices in 803 stores in eleven cities and | found that eighty-three per of the | stores exceeded ceiling prices their cent in sales. These figures dicate that the | if taken as correct, in- effort of the OPA to hold | down prices is being nullified, to some de- gree, by the willingness of buyers to pay more than ceiling pric While there have been a number of the side” transactions in connection with sales at ceiling prices, it hard to } understand how the stores checked, locat- ed in the larger cities of the nation, get by with excessive prices. Certainly, if eighty- three per cent of the stores violate ceiling | prices, everybody in the area must know | about it.

He knew that he was dying and he was afraid for their safety, so he gave them to your’ son. The explosion, Mr. Germaine, was no accident. It was purposely set to cover the theft of the emeralds by a group of men who let nothing stand in the way of acquiring something they want. They wanted the em- eralds your son had, so he was murdered.” “Then why not arrest them as a group?” “That is just what I don’t want to do, Mr. Germaine.” “In heaven’s name, why? On the face of it, they seem collec- tively guilty.” “The situation is a good deal more complifated than that. You See there is more than one group irivolved, or rather a group and an individual. At this moment it would be impossible to settle actual guilt on any one of them. Arrest them all and the chances are you'll lose them all.” Germaine looked at Rush grim- ly. “I’m paying you to know your business, Henry. [ll continue to justified.

He found absolutely nothing. He hadn’t, in fact, expected to find anything.
