MEMMOTT, Editor and Publisher Goldie Wilcken, News Editor Mrs. Weston Bates, Office Manager CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS In any battle, the side that can choose its weapons is likely to have the advantage. And in some of the worlds greatest conflicts money and knowledge are potent implements against an enemy. That is particularly true of the war to control and eventually conquer cancer, No. Two killer among diseases that prey upon humans. With this in mind the American Canoer Society, which carries on an unceasing three-fol- d campaign combining research, education, and service for sufferers, is voicing a new and a and significant slogan: Fight Cancer with a Check-u- p check! It urges all men and women to have periodic medical checkups to detect the existence of any possible cancer symptoms and it asks for checks to enable its cancer control program to go forward without interruption. Thus the Society seeks to render a deadly enemy powerless and to save countless more thousands of lives through prompt and adequate treatment. Realistic people will heed that urging. It is sensible, and it will add to the peace of mind and happiness of a vast number. And the appeal of the ACS to say it with a check will not exclude anyone who lacks a checking account from giving toward its vital work. Making a contribution of this kind to the Society is one satisfying way of participating in a herculean struggle to end an ancient menace to our lives. Send the check today, and arrange for the medical examination without delay. Thats wise health insurance. THANKS TO OUR TEACHERS By Rachel Bates This spring, Duchesne is losing many of its school teachers and their families, much to our regret. These families have all made many friends here and it is with much regret that we see them leave us. They have done our children a great service in the time they have served here. The entire citizenry has appreciated very much what they have done even though neglecting to say so at times. We have enjoyed the associations of these fine people in our civic, church and social functions. They have done much to help make our lives happier, by their friendship. They have given freely of their fine talents far beyond the call of duty. We will long remember them, and wish that Gods best blessings will follow them wherever they go from here. 30 was a visitor at the Neill Jensens last Friday.
