BLOOD DID YOU CONTRIBUTE" TO THE RELIEF OF FINLAND The State Board of Health and other medical and welfare organizations of this- State are cooperating with the American Social Hygiene Association in the conduct of Fourth National Social Hygiene Week, February was issued by A proclamation former Mayor K. E. Muir in the issue of the Reaper of Dec. 22 urging the citizens of Rich County to contribute to' the cause of Finland. Not one to date that we know of has contributed a cent. Much as the drive to help Finland is still on, we suggest that the people of Rich county be among the contributors to this worthy cause. TbeRicn County Keeper has been selected as the place to leave your contributions. Though our contributions may be small, if each child gave a penny and each adult would give a dime, Rich County could at least give some help to the Finnlisih government. We do not know how long the war may last or if the United States can keep out. Or do we know what may happen' in the future. Who knows, some time we may be asking for help. Would we deserve it if we never gave a dime when we were asked to give to the relief of a sister republi.c ? Think about it folks, then leave your relief funds at the Reaper office. 1-- 7, 1940. The object of this observance Lit and1 tbricugbaut the nation is to extend public knowledge of man's great enemy, syphilis, and of the power of medical science to cure an.l prevent this scourge and to relieve the suffering it causes. This year special attention iis directed' toward full realization of the menace of illegal and unethical medical practice and of .self treatment, falsely purporting to cure syphilis. I invite the citizens of Utah to join with the responsible leaders' of the campaign against syphilis in observing thiisi Week. Thais they will aid in preventing needless misery and misfortune caused by this plague. , , fi Speaker, D. W. Moffat of Salt Lake A Perfect City; marimba solo, Day, Mary N.
