The Meanest Man The Very Meanest, Stole " Dimes " Bank This Saturday The March of Dimes dance climaxes the drive for funds to combat infantile paralysis, this Saturday night In the Box Elder high school gymnasium. The dance this year is under the sponsorship of all of the service clubs of Biigham City. So far the Rotary and Kiwanls clubs have almost reached the 100 percent mark in the purchase of dance tickets. The Eagles, Civic and Jajceette clubs are close behind but have a larger membership to contact. The goal of the dance is to furnish entertainment as well as collect funds for the drive which is the most important in the history of the National Foundation- - This year is a must because of the heavy draft of funds due to the epidemics in California and Utah. The need is so great that the reNational Foundation has cruited the movie industry to aid in the dime or dollar collection. Tills medium was used when the polio fund was first organized but because 'it vvas antagonistic to people attending picture shows, it was stopped. Due to the urgent need this year, the movies have consented to collect for three days in their houses. The Roxy and Capitol theaters in Brigham City will cooperate starting Sunday and collect during their evening shows for three days. The Boy Scouts are cooperating in the collection of the Ihealre donations by 'having members of the different Brigham City troops present to pass f , the plates, It is requested that the people in smaller communlnties of Box Eld et county get their donations in the cards, and in the mail this week so that they iviil be in Brigham City at the close of the drive. For the people who want to make special donations, the county chairman, . Ray Reese, has a post office box number 492 to receive such contributions. If you havent given, plan now to give this week. If you have already donated, make it a point to give again. Never mind the guy who pushes little chickens in the creek. The man who sleals the candy out of May baskets is a humanitarian. Sawing off an old blind mans wooden leg would be a harmless prank in comparison. The meanest man in the world, absolutely the meanest, has done his worst. Someone side the March of Dimes coin bank out of the post office lobby Saturday afternoon between 1 and 8 o'clock. Someone thought he needed a few coins worse than a child stricken by infantile paralysis. Someone didn't care whose side he was on in the war between humanity and the crippler." Last year an unknown thief stole a March of Dimes coin bank in Brigham City. Then, six months later, he had a change of conscience and returned the money to the Box Elder county commute, in an anonymous letter. Maybe Conscience will get into the argument this yeart .
