Chance To Lay Off
The Alka-Seltzer
With the United Fund moving in on employes of bus
iness firms this week, we remember a story told us by a
onetime solicitor who tried to raise funds in a large sheet
metal shop which had over 200 employes. Being a cagy
cuss, he went to the boss first and suggested this man
make a contribution, setting an example for the rest who
worked there.
“No,” the boss said. “I don’t want to give the impres
sion there’s any coercion in this. I want each man to con
tribute as he chooses without reference to what I’m do
ing.”
This sounded reasonable, so the solicitor went to
work, found most of the employes generous, and made a
good take. Then he went to the boss again. “Well,” he
said, “I’ve collected from everybody else. How about you?”
“You’re not going to get a cent from me!”
the boss said. '
Happily, the people of Dunn, including those who can
be described as bosses, have been responding pretty ad
mirably, on the whole, to this year’s United Fund drive.
Not that they shouldn't. The drive is really for the bene
fit of everyone here and any pronounced failure would
lead to serious results.
Professional fund-raisers, as you may be aware, cast
many a leery eye on those local efforts to wrap up all
charity donations in one basket. One of these told us yes
terday, “A thing like this goes strong at first, but then it
dies out. A professional organization like mine, if it trusts
to the Fund, may find itself without money and have to
start its sales campaign to the public all over again.”
The experience in some communities lends confirma
tion to this view, but ther£ is no reason why it has to be
true nor is there any reason wjtiy, this year and every
year, Dunn can’t have an outstanding drive which will
give Its community-building and charitable organizations
the solvency they need to do their work.
One of the things that stands in the way of a maxi
mum collection is the intense feeling, in' at least a part
of the public, against the much-celebrated but also much
vilified Red Cross. Since World War II a series of petty
and unpetty aggravations against the Red Cross and
sometimes against other organizations have becloud
ed the whole issue of fUnd-raising campaigns.
This is neither the time nor the place to debate the
issue of the Red Cross and its contributions to humanity,
plus or minus. From a local standpoint, at least, any crit
icism of this organization is completely uncalled for. Few,
if any, groups here can claim to have done as much good
for as many people as Dunn’s Chapter of the Red Cross.
Right now, it is striking to aid needy families who would
have a destitute and miserable Christmas were they not
helped. Its next great project will be a disaster plan, in
tended to cushion the shock qualities of the next hurri
cane to blow this way.
There is no doubt the Dunn-Erwin Red Cross will do
these jobs and do them well. Nor is their doubts that oth
er groups Included in Dunn’s United Fund are going to
make judicious use of the money which comes to then!.
We have said that local persons have responded well
to this campaign and that it true. Many of them have
given a substantial part of their earnings, money they
could most easily have used and Without criticism ei
ther —for some interesting but unnecessary knick-knack.
There are also those, as there always are, who are ready
to let somebody else do the giving, while they do the crit
icizing, or merely stand by, ih silent pride of pocketbook.
Those are the persons whom the United Fund can do
the most good. For the good that comes of this drive is
not only In the moriey actuaUy collected, but in the spirit
that comes of being willing to help. The United Fund
drive offers a better chance to the habitually miserly and
unhelpful person than to anybody else.
This is a chance to change his ways, and quit need
ing alka-selt2er.
NO REALLY GOOD ONES
Force of habit, we suppose, is mainly responsible for
the fact that nearly everyone who has a cold refers to it
as “bad.” There are really no “good” colds, as far as we
know, though the misery-producing ailmerit does seem to
vary in intensity. Since the cold is a common affliction,
perhaps we call it “bad” in the effort to make it appear
that there is something special involved in pur cases. One
thing certain, however, is that the person who says just
a bad cold is asking for further trouble that he rarely
fails to get. The Commercial Appeal.

Problem of a Husband
Who Won’t Grow Up
DEAR MRB. MAYFIELD:
I wonder how many women have
the same problem I do. The prob

graving at the temples.
He doesn't have any friends hi*
own age any more—only ones in
their teens or early twenties. Men
ht own age don't like him because
ail he taiks about is racing cars
and motorcycles or such. I can
quite truthfully say these things
are his only interest.
"He has lost many chances at
good paying jobs because his hob
bles and pleasures came first. He
just isn't W:erested in makisg a

DEAR DESPERATE:
It s very hard to solve any prob

it with you. If, for ins ance, you
couid sit down and make him un
derstand your side of the case,
then, cf course, you could work
out some compromise.
I wouldn't for a moment hold
out any hope that a man so deep
ly absorbed in his hobbies would
give them up. but you might make
him see that restrain- is in order.
Or that some sort of budget must
go into effect.

WORRY !

By Dr. I
George W. Crane
Mary wants a project tor her
Club. So be sure you read the
suggestions outlined below. The
most thrilling and constructive
project for ANY group, whether
University Women’s Clubs, Scouts
or 4-H Clubs, is described below.
It has already changed the en
tire course of world history. So
make It your project, either alone
or in a Study Group.
By Dr. George W. Crane
Case Q-312: Mary E., aged 31,
belongs to a University Women’s
Club.
"Dr. Crane, we need a project
of an educational sort,” she began,
“so what do you think of our or
ganizing a course on the Great
Books which Dr. Hutchins has re
commended?
"Wouldn’t they be very helpful
to all of us?"
EDUCATIONAL HOBBIES
Yes, Mary’s idea is an excellent
one But before you start studying
the other great books recommended
by Dr. Hutchins, you better get
some information about the Great
est Book of all - the Bible.
Dr. Gallup recently conducted a
poll of Americans, asking if they
could name the first four books in
the New Testament.
And only ONE person out of
every three could name Matthew.
Mark. Luke and John.
Furthermore, over half of the
Americans surveyed couldn't name
even ONE of those four Gospels:* 1
That’s shocking:
For most of our colleges and un- !
iversities have been founded because
bv churches, which are rooted in
the Four Gospels.
America is the greatest hospital
nation on earth, but except for the
county hospitals, almost all our
hospitals were founded because of
the Four Gospels via Churches and
Fraternal Organizations.
The Four Gospels are also re
sponsible for the YMCA. the
YWCA, the CYO, the Red Cross,
the Salvation Army, the W.C.T.U.,
and the Scouts and Camp Fire
Girls meet in churches, which are
rooted in those four Gospels.
READ THE BIBLE
Even our hardheaded American
business men devote about three
months of their advertising appro
priations to events depicted in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
For they stress the Christmas
theme even before Thanksgiving
arrives. And they use the Easter
motif all during the six weeks of
Lent.
With all due credit to the other
Great Books which Dr. Hutchins
urges we read, may I suggest it is
far wiser to study the Bible first
of all. •
Did you ever hear of a Plato
College or an Aristotle University?
Or a Shakespeare Youth Hall, or
a Victor Hugo YMCA building?
Do millions of Americans gather ,
each Sunday morning in beautiful
edifices dedicated to Herodotus or 1
Aeschylus or Virgil or Cicero? Cer- 1
tainly not! 1
But Matthew, Mark, Luke and 1
John have caused billions of dollars c
in valuable real estate sites to be 1
devoted to inspirational churches *
where man’s soul is uplifted and the «
finest music of the land is hea r l
each Sabbath.
So let’s place first tilings firs’. I
You talented girls in our Univer- r
sity Women’s Clubs should set your
goal this season to read the Bible. c
It has 66 books and records the j
evolution of man"s spiritunal life, n
But if you don't want to study the
entire Bible, at least read the New V
Testament which has so remark- l
ably, changed our world civiliza
tion. h
Regardless of your religious do
nominations, or even if you are an 1
atheist, at least your intellectual t(
curiosity should demand that you F
get a first hand view of the most v
influential book ever written.
And it is still the world’s best
seller, too. so pick out the Four r
Oospels for this season’s study v
project. Study their background ~
Oet local clergymen to help explain B
’ t:
what kind of woman is she who is i
could do the same again. And also b
so willing to cheat now that you’re
on the scene again?
There's one more thing. You did
succeed in forgetting her once, i
believe it might be even easier if f
you try again. *'
