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.

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.

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. *' D Cards of Cheer, Please! DEAR MRS.
