Governmental regulations are
not the answer. It will be sure
death to our economy and

First let us remember that
here in the grandeSt, greatest

replied thdt she wds immune from Smallpox because she

Jenner investigated this and as q result he soon gave
the world Smallpox Vaccine. Since that time many scen~

early military environment and
conditioning. She drew a graphic
picture of his mother who strong
ly influenced his life and from
whom he inherited brilliancy and
determination. Then followed the
stories of the two women who
have shared his adult life as he
has served his country in sue
cession of military crises in the
Philippines and in Asia; the first
Mrs. Macarthur beautiful, wealthy
