Well, there are some 160,000children whom cancer has robbed of their fathers. And more than 175,000 others have had to learn to live without a mother. Not even the young are safe, for Cancer yearly claims more children from three to fifteen years of age than any other disease. It strikes in two out of every three families. It plays no favorites.

It would not be necessary to levy six mills unless the rural commit tee felt that it could not count on loo percent collections (and usu- ally 10 percent non-collections have to be figured).
