.POSSUM CAUGHT ON ROD ~
AND REEL AT MACS HEAD

Mrs. Nellie Pridgen, operator of
Pridgen's Tourist Home, Mays
Head. is probably the only person
in the world who has caught
possum on a rod and reel. 1t hap
pened this way. After fishing the
nearby surf during the afternoon,
she failed to remove a piece of
shrimp bait from one of the hooks
after returning home and placing
the rod and reel on the front
porch. Shortly after midnight when
she went to investigate a COM
motion on the front porch, Mrs.
Pridgen discovered that the shrimp
bait had attracted a possum, which
had gotten itself hooked while
trying to remove the bait.

children. Two million dollars is a
lot of money, and people who think
money will buy anything will per-
haps think it a generous settle
ment.
But there are other people who
think that two million dollars is
cheap and paltry when weighed
against the happiness and the Sc
curity that a woman has a right
to expect from marriage. We know
nothing of the facts in this case,
but it appears to be one where
there was too much money and
not enough of the character and
the wisdom to make marriage sue
coed.
Many a poor man who could
scarcely raise two dollars, or two
hundred dollars, can and does Of
fer his wife more in real happi-
ness and devotion and security
than any amount of money can
buy. Unless marriage is approach
ed on that basis by both parties
it is a mockery and a failure.

This anecdote in recent by the Rev. Kenneth
w. Soitt pastor fthe First Baptist Church. Mendoza,
ILL.,. caught our eye:
az was once in small hotel in Vermont when of
the guests foreigner unfamiliar with American ways,
brought the proprietress of the inn beautiful bouquet
The prcprieress delighted beyond words-unt she
discovered that her gallant guest had picked the flowers
in her garden back of the inn.
Whenever government hands you bouquet, you can
be perfectly it picked cut of your garden But
we go right accepting bouquets in the vain hope that
someday will get flowers that somebody else planted
and brought to bloom

the No. killer among diseases, communi-
cable or otherwise, in the Is to "a age group.
During 1850 it killed approximately $4,000.
Nearly 10000 are estimated to have active
TB, but half are not known to health au-
thorities and, presumably, are not under
treatment, thus losing their own health and
endangering others. TB is striking at the
rate of 100000 new cases each year.
In revealing the above facts and figures,
DIR. Perkins pointed out that while consider
able progress had been made against the
disease, it is still one of the greatest public
health problems in this country because it
is communicable disease and the chain of
infection stretches out interminably. 1.-The
loose talk starting now that tuberculosis
is no longer menace is an ironic and highly
dangerous by-product of the success to date
of the campaign - a by-product that must
be destroyed now before it reaches more
deadly proportions" said DIR. Perkins.
USO NNWaxmomaexs''
More than 4.OOOO 900 men and women will
be in uniform in 1852. Back on the job is
the USO, serving their off-post needs
through clubs, lounges, information centers
and other service units and bringing enter
tainment to troops in hospitals and far-of
zones.
THE one thing the soldier needs that
can't be government issue is morale" says
DR.. Lindsey F. Kimball, USO president.
"Yet hear civilians spreading the widest
gossip about the organization which has
done so much to provide this vital morale. p"
Myth: The USO is government agency,
yet it appeals for funds. Why can't Uncle
Sam take care of his CTS on all that tax
money we give him?
Fact: The USO is voluntary civilian
agency. The myth has gained wide circula-
ton because the organization works 50
closely with the Department of Defense.
Myth: The USO is warmongeTing out
fit, conniving with Pentagon chieftains to
keep soldiers in uniform to fight wars.
Fact: Officials reply. "The USO takes
a positive stand in explaining that it is free
from political ties and is primarily interested
in the men and women in uniform as people,
rather than in the reasons which make their
service necessary"
Myth: The USO is just another charity.
Fact: Says DR.. Kimball, Supporting the
USO is a part of the total defense effort
which every citizen should feel his personal
responsibility 1t is no more charity than
buying defense bonds or volunteering for
civilian defense"
Cancer Scare
A MAJOR criticism of the American Cancer
Society, Inc. is: "The cancer publicity
spread by the society is doing incalculable
damage by producing an unwaranted in
crease in fears and anxieties. 1t is soaring
people to death, creating mass neuosis,
doing much more harm than good"
Declares Vice President DR.. Charles S.
Cameron, medical and scientific director:
These are serious charges. If true, the
whole philosophy of health education must
be reconsidered and it's methods re-eval

and Neurology, asking series of pointed,
complex questions on the impact of cancer
publicity. Disapproval came from only II
per cent of 100 psychiatrists and among
these, the criticism was frequently of cur
rent health and education methods in gen.
eral rather than of cancer propaganda
specifically.
Another question raised in some quarters
about the American Cancer Society was:
"How much of the money collected goes to
fight cancer?" The 1950-51 budget &C
counted for SIS, 500, of which % per
cent was allotted to education, 26 per cent
to service for cancer patients, 26 per cent
to research, IL per cent to Embarrassing and
eight per cent to administration.
Red Feather Runners

the famous Red Feather organization whose
local chests aid some 5000 services in all
parts of the US. THE volunteers" / was
told, get ten per cent Tor Is or 20 or 25) of
all the money they raise"
Fact: The money-raisers don't get cent.
In 1851, only At per cent of money con-
tributed to the Community Chests went for
campaign expenses, while the balance was
spent as follows: youth services, 3l.8; care
of children, 1863 per cent; family service,
l7.8 per cent; hospital care, 81 per cent;
health services, SO per cent; care of aged,
IL per cent; community welfare planning,
3.8 per cent; miscellaneous services, l.6
per cent; administration, SO per cent and
reserve for collection losses, 3.5 per cent.
Finally, it is charged that huge sums are
allotted to officials of philanthropic organ
izations in the form of expenses. Actually.
as Mr.. Reed says, MANY of the directors
pay their own expenses and regard them as
contributions to the organization
Excuses for Not Giving
Why do people love to spread myths
about the great national philanthropies? In
many instances, baseless criticism is simply
an excuse for not giving. The individuals
don't want to contribute but feel guilty, so
they seize upon rlmor- mongering as means
of salving their oonsciences. This is borne
out by the fact that the myths become
particularly virulent during annual fund
drives
What is the answer? What can we do to
protect their needed institutions?
Well, rumors, like the people who tell
them, cannot thrive in the presence of facts.
So if you hear any of the myths cited in
this article, set the rumor -monger straight.
And if you hear some other phony- sounding
tale about one of the country's voluntary
agencies - an agency which has helped and
will help you when trouble strikes - check
it for yourself. You will find that the gossip
will wither and die
Query the objective advisory groups on
philanthropy set up all over the country to
help you give wisely. In New York City.

and the Contributor Information Bureau,

CHICAGO, April 26.- The
amazing st. Louis Browns with
cred under Joe Dodson's brilliant
pitching today for a SO shutout
by the White Sox which cost them
the American League lead. Dobson
allowed only three singles.
The Boston Red Sox, whose
game at Philadelphia was rained
out, now hold first place with a
SO mark. The Browns record is
i7-2.
The Browns. a sloppy team
afleld today, were completely
handcuffed by Dobson. whose Sec
ond victory over the Browns left
him with a remarkable record of
giving only one earned run in
'252s innings. He beat the Browns
in relief last Saturday.
The st. Louis, starter, Duane
Pilette, was the victim of a sixth
inning homer by Ed Stewart. Pi-
lette beat a hasty retreat in a
four-run seventh. It was his first
defeat against one victory.
Only one run in the big Chicago
seventh was earned as the Browns
defense blew apart for two official
errors and near beaning of Left
fielder Tommy Wright on a pop
single.
The only earned run of two tai
lies scored to date off the 35-year-
old Dobson was a homer by Jim
Fridley in a 10 loss on the sec
ond day of the season to Cleve-

Not a single st. Louis player
reached second as Dobson was
helped by two double plays and
struck out eight.
