OPEN LETTER TO PEOPLE
OF CHEROKEE COUNTY
(By Victor Manning)
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
To the people that always give
to worthy causes such as the Polio
Foundation, their thoughts may
be, "Oh, my golly! Another give-
away campaign, and I've given too
much already this year."
To the people who don't care
for anyone but themselves, it's,
"Here comes someone who wants
me to give him some money for
that Polio drive. I'll duck into this
drug store. Maybe they won't see
me."
To the people that were helped
—Well, you can imagine what a
person that was helped, or the par-
ents of a child that was helped
might say.
How much per person do you
think was given last year by Cher-
okee County? Ten cents? Five
cents? One cent? Well, all your
answers are wrong. It was three-
tenths of one cent. I saw the re-
port from last year and Cherokee
county was fifth from the bottom.
There are no less than 254 coun-
ties in Texas.
This year the Foundation needs
$2,000,000 out of Texas. That is
3 and , y2 dimes person. This
means—
To the first person—I'll give as
much as I can.
To the second man—If one man
gives 50c and another man 55c,
that gets mine. So why should I
give anything? I'm going to the
show.
Well, we're back into the three-
tenths cent groove again if all the
people are like him.

The distinction of Airman of j

most becoming) smiles at the Fair

being immensely proud of the
wholehearted and unselfish re-

regrettable that space does not
allow for a complete report of the
