Support Cancer Crusade
The month of April has been dcslKnatcd as cancer jnfl
month throughout the nutinn by the president of the United
Slates, and this brings about the local crusade, which Is being
conducted in this area April 114.
Volunteers for the American Cancer Society will canvass
the area for the purpos of collecting funds to fight the ells
ease and to help educate the public by distributing literature
related to the seven danger signals of cancer and the research
which Is being carried on to combat it.
Much has been done In past years in cancer research and
without public assistance, progress In research programs will
be slowed considerably.
One half of all cancer could be cured, but, due to Ignor
ance and fear, people fail to visit their physicians for regular
health checkups, and the result Is that only one third of all
known cancers are cured. a -i
Anyone whose life has been touched by this dread dis
ease, whether directly or indirectly, knows that cancer can
strike swiftly and at any age.
The slogan for the 1968 crusade is, "It makes sense to
know the warning signals of cancer; it makes sense to give
to the American Cancer Society."
Further cancer research, made possible by public dona
tions, legacies, and memorials, may someday save your life,
or the life of someone you love.
Be prepared to greet the crusader when she knocks on
your door. Remember it makes sense to give. G. B.

ONE OF OUR more distant sub
WTlber Is Mrs. Archie Polta
of The Oaks. Ilorndon on the
Hill, Essex, Englund. So fur as
we know he has no relatives
In Heppner. has never been
here, and has no local connec
tion except that she is pen
pal of Mrs. voug urue.
Mrs. Druke. becoming well
acquainted by letter, suoscrira-o
to the Gazette-Times for Mrs
Potts, and the English woman
has continued taking It.
The other dav wo received J
nA,.lnnn nt nfllMTq III the mall
They were from Mrs. Potts. Two
copies of the r.ssex weeiuy
News were included, together
with one copy each of the Thur
rook Gazette and the Sunday
Telecranh.
Accompanying the papers was
this note:
'"We have received and read
and circulated your paper now
for more than a year and are
always surprised In the differ
ences of news. So I thought 1(1
retaliate and send you some of
ours- . .
'Thurrock Is our local, Essex
the county, and the Telegraph
our national Sunday paper.
"I hope we don't all appear
criminals. It sometimes looks
like It bv the papers.
"But we couldn't publish In
dividual doings as you do, no
nmnirlnn in nnnulation. Best
wishes, Mrs. Archie Potts."
No, we wouldn't say that the
emphasis is too heavy on crime
news, but there is a tendency
to play up the dramatic Just
as some of the metropolitan pa
pers in the United States do.
Some of the headlines we note
are, "Woman Praised for Brav
ing Flames," "Postman Stole
the Mail," "Disaster!" "She
Lives in Fear," "111 Quit Says
School Master," "Watch Out for
These Thieves," "Keep an Eye
on Drunks Warn Police," "Tack
led Berserk Axeman," and "He
Bought Sweets Then Died."
But we've picked out the sen
sational ones. Others are like
those to which we are more ac
customed, "Vital Airstrip Reop
ened at Khe Sanh," "Shell to
Cut Manpower," and "Popula
tion Up by 880."
Some of our home town read
ers, especially those who came
from England or have English
ancestry, may wish to read
these papers, and we will save
the copies for them.
Mrs. Potts hits it on the head
when she points out that daily
and even large weekly papers
can't include the "individual
doings." The most enjoyable
thing about a small weekly is
devoting attention to the Indi
vidual and the items about him.
One of the sad things about
the computer age and this time
f avnanlino nnnillatinn
is that the individual is losing
his identity.
rtna Htiliunrlr hntwppn the in-
HivlHiml nnrl the comDuter is the
small weekly paper.
You can taKe your copy ui
the Gazette-Times and fold, mu
tilate or spindle it to your
heart's content, and we'll still
love you! If you nave company,
take a trip, or come home from
the hospital, we'll print it.
We appreciate Mrs. Pott's
thoughtfulness in sending the
papers. . ,
NEW AUTOS are coming out
with all kinds of safety equip
ment to help alleviate a nation
al problem too many accidents.
Manufacturers could go a step
farther and help on another na
tional problem littering.
Much of the littering done in
this modern world is that toss
ed from cars. A rather substan
tial part of a person's life to
day is spent inside an automo
bile. When he is home, he has
wastebaskets and garbage cans
into which he throws trash, but
too many don't follow the same
practice when they are in cars.
Litter bags obtainable are of
the improvised variety. They or
dinarily hang on a cigarette
lighter knob. Plastic litter bas
kets often are hooked over a
ventilater cable.
If enterprising manufacturers
provided built-in wastebaskets,
they might educate families to
use them constantly over a per
iod of years. They would be
handy, convenient, easy to emp
ty, and easy to keep clean. If

Instead, will seek out the litter

AND WHILE we're In 8 suggest
ing frame of mind, we have
another thought for those who
find It a chore to write letter.
Try getting a tape recorder and
M-nding messages buck and
forth between relatives and
friends by this manner.
If you haven't used one very
often, vour own voice will sound
weird to you, but it sounds nat
ural to everyone else.
On today's market and right
here In our I'll old home town
vou can get tape recorders to
day at a very reasonable price.
You can buy 3-lneh tapes that
will carry a long conversation,
and they are inexpensive. You
can use the same tape over and
over with care.
When you play the tape from
a friend or relative, It la as If
they are actually visiting In
stead of sending a communica
tion. It's a great system for spe
cial occasions, too, such as
sending greetings for Christmas,
for birthdays, and for other spe
cial events.
We started doing this with a
friend who has been 111, and It
has been very pleasant to "vis
it" back and forth by recording
when distance prevents making
a trip In person.

Dear Wes: .
The enclosed clipping may be

Dave Wilcox, who has brought
fame and glory to Vale and
another Willow Creek, as a pro
fessional football player with
the San Francisco 49ers and
this past year's winner of the
coveted Eshmont Award, Is typ
