Have you ever wanted to
''get away from it all?"
OF course all of us have at
times. However, running away
seldom solves anything. What
we are really running away
from is ourselves, or what we
call. "our deadly routine"
Routines can become very
monotonous but they would
not be nearly so boring if we
ourselves had not first be-
come monotonous in our ap-
preach to daily living.
Some people have to travel
half Of their lives before they
learn that it is really them
selves they are fleeing from.
Since we cannot escape from
ourselves, 1t might be a good
idea to learn a little more
about us.
Instead of running away. get
a lift by bringing an adven-
turous perceptive spirit to our
own little world every day. find
a change of pace in the world
Of ideas, In knowing yourself

It's cinch that you will find
that you are not nearly so

your neighbors think, but you
are probably not nearly as

Marcia was only eight when
ieukemia took her away from
her parents and the friends
who loved the gentle, friendly
little child with that joyous
spirit which is so endearing in
the young.
Marcia spent her eighth

Let Us Remember Marcia

this wonderful story, though,
is what happened among Mar
cia's neighbors. Spontaneously,
children and grownups who
had known the happy little girl
began making plans to try to
keep others from suffering In
the same way.
They decided to raise a fund.
It came q few dollars here, q
few cents there. Women held
afternoon parties and charged
small admission prices. Mar
cia,s little friends sold cards,
magazine subscriptions and
small articles from door-to-
door Everyone solicited con-
tributions from friends in other
sections. Someone wrote to
me about the effort and ! asked
Marcia's mother TO 60 on the
air with me. She told, in SIM
pie words. about her daughters
short life and listeners sent
money. There were stories in
the newspapers. The fund
grew.
A few weeks ago. the Marcia
Slater Laboratory, which will
devote itself to q study Of the
cause and cure OF leukemia,
was formally opened in Jewish
Memorial Hospital in New York
City. This was possible be-
cause the incredible sum Of
$780, 900 was raised in thou
sands Of small contributions
ranging from a few cents to
a few dollars.
Some day scientists will
crack the secret of the dread

boys and girls will enjoy long
lives which they will owe to
Marcia Slater, who died at
eight and to Marcia's loving,
concerned friends.
