Dig A Little Deeper

The Jackson County branch of the American Cancer
Society has completed one of the best records in the state
during the recent annual drive for funds to underwrite on
a national scale a program of research, education ans treat
ment of the dread disease.
The county quota for the drive was set at $4,000. a
sizeable figure when compared to quotas of other counties
and in view of present conditions. Thanks to the able eff
forts of A. M. Hardy. who headed up the county commit
tee, and his willing helpers a total of $3,94732 has been
raised to date, exactly S5268 short of the quota.
It would be fine if Jackson countians could dig lust
a little deeper and come up with the final figure to meet
the quota. No more worthier cause could be found and
undoubtedly many of us who contribute now will bene-
fit IN the future from knowledge and techniques gained
and developed under the program that these contributions
finance. We think Jackson county can be counted on for
an additional $52.68. Contributions should be sent to Mr..
Hardy care of the American Cancer Society, Box 685, Pas
cagoula.

Life Of Cabinet Officers in Woshngons Summertime Heat
Bellies Prevalent Belief About the Joys Of Being Big Shot
BY Betty Beole

brothers are lawyers, and Toms
father and grandfather were both
lawyers and their son Ramsey is
now studying law!
Postmaster General Jesse Don
aldson would like to be swimming
off Cape Cod, but like all cabinet
members is too interested IN leg
islation that Congress may or may
not pass to leave while they're in
session. AS it is, he goes home to
his aforementioned apartment and
forgets the heat by playing bridge.
Bridge is his principal relaxation
like it is for the Chief Justice OF
the United States and it is the
one hobby both Mr.. and Mrs. DON
aldson have in common.
Secretary of the Interior Cap
Krug really suffers from the heat
as would be expected with man
of his size. Always up to his ears
IN work, he won't be able to get
away with Mrs. Krug and daugh-
ter Marilyn when they drive out to
Wisconsin to pick up son Jimmy
at the end of camp. AS soon as
Cap can leave the Office he hies
to his Forty-fourth street house
and sits on the back porch over
looking their lovely garden.
When Secretary Of Agriculture
Charles Brannan leaves his air
conditioned Office he is apt to be
laden with work to do at home. II
not, he and Mrs. B. might cool OH
in a movie theater or you might
see sthem practicing golf strokes
on the lawn beside their West
chester apartment residence.
Home to them means that cool,
comfortable Colorado air around
Denver which they will probably
head for when and If Congress is
out. There's also a European busi-
ness trip in the offlng.

is the one Secretary Of Commerce
