MEMMOTT THE EDITOR, BY A VOLUME SUGGESTION FOR USE OF '49ER MONEY POLIO DRIVE GETS UNDERWAY . . . emergency drive to curb Infantile Paralyses has in the nation and all counties and cities in are urged to get solidly behind the campaign. A marvelous job was done early this year and a great amount of money was raised to fight the dreaded disease. However, with thousands of children and adults in hospitals today as the result of the current widespread o polio epidemics, and with many new cases likely to develop in the months just ahead, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has launched an emergency drive to provide more funds for patient care. Charles H. Semken, current chairman of the county committee, has again accepted the assignment to carry oc in Carbon, and the Helper Kiwanis club will likewise take over again in Helper. Therefore, if you are asked to donate a dime or quarter, do it willingly that "Others May An been started the country Walk". -- ANOTHER cCc- LIFE GONE WITH THE WIND Margaret Mitchell is dead. Her ibook sold more than any other book except the Bible, or so they say. Millions went to see "Gone With the Wind" in the movies. A picture millions will not see, shows Miss Mitchell lying in the street, struck down by a drunken driver. The man who ran her down is shown in another picture. He leans against a cell door with the most amazing smirk on his face. Hiss Mitchell is just one of the nearly 10,000 Americans who will be killed by drivers who had been drinking, during the Year of Our Lord, 1949. The liquor trade needs the profits; the United States So revenue. the NUMBER MINING RAILROAD "DISTRICT AND 36 of the teacher vacant Carbon school district have been filled and registration in all schools in the county reveal that approximated sr.00 vonm.. sters have signed up for the winter's work that officially began Wednesday morning. In Helper the Central school and Junior High schiol reported through their principals, Miss Sally Mauro and L. Earl Aiord, respectively, a slight increase over last year. Miss Mauro reported 276 enrolled yesterday morning as compared to 267 last year. At the Junior High Mr. Acord said those having signed up by Wednesday totaled about 245, which is about 10 to 15 more than last year. One reason given for the junior high increase is that last year band was taught at Soring Canyon, but has been discontinued and the band students in the 7th and 8th grades are being allowed to come to Helper. According to the schedule the first vacation for the youngsters will ibe October 13, 14, and 15, when teachers will hold their state ins.'itute. Another holiday will be Oct. 21, the day before the deer hunt which starts Saturday, Oct. 22. The Thanksgiving holidays will give the youngsters another vacation on Nov. 24 and 25.

As we recall it, that is the first recorded version of the Old Army Game of "passing the buck." "I don't know hira," said one, and passed him by. (You'll pardon us if we deviate from the actual quotations, and possibly even from the plot the spirit of the story remains.) "Let his kinfolk next-doneighbors help him," even pausing to determine if the misfortune had kinfolk or neighbors. there was the Good Samaritan. In two thousand years, in millions and millions of readings, no one has ever missed the point of that story, retold as it fell from the lips of the Great Teller of Stories. Possibly we've said, and certainly we've all heard it said innumerable times, '"They're campaigning us to death! There's always a drive on, a campaign, a tap for some worthy cause or other. We can't help them all." We can't, it is to be hoped, help them all as we ould like to. God grant that our hearts always remain greater than our purses! The Infantile Paralysis campaign, the Easter campaign for the crippled children, the children's hospital penny 'birthday fund, the Cancer' campaign, the Red Cross, relief of needy and hungry peoples throughout the world all these touch our hearts.
