This week, during National White eCane
Veek, the' slogan: of the ONII3 is, "Be Wise—,

hernselves have learned from experience the r

INSURANCE
When income taxes were levied, it was the
man getting a regular pay envelope who first
pegan to pay, becatise it was the 'easiest thing
imaginable to start taking away a few cents a
day befere,the man even got the envelope. With
farmers, indnstrialists, and those involved in
.private enterprise, the steps were slow and
delifberate, and finally they were corralled into
the fad ofethose paying.
NOW with nosPital insurance the same thing •
is true. But the working rnan,..with a regular
income isthe chap who least „needs a national
hospital scheme for in most 'Cases he already
belongs to a private plan.

(Letter -Review)
NEW YORK CITY Police had plenty of
headaches in forth of crank calls, false, leads
and phoney threats in two months of publicity!
•that preceded 'capture of the "Mad Bomber."
Worth remembering is the fact that for 16
years in which "Mad Bomber" had beefi active
in the US metropolis, police authorities had
maintained strict secrecy about his activities.
%We months of wide publicity led to his arrest.
Keeping the public informed abut matters
of public concern clearly pays. Nor does this
conclusion relate. only to crime.

The sailor had beguit as anyone
would, to read his book at the

a begineer, it is a good idea to

book is written in nity style and
contains one of the most exiting
biographies ever written. The first
chapter relates t half-dozen Stir-

Most readers have Myer thought
Of reading a book of the Bible as
they would a, secular work, through

break down into chapters and
verses, The book of Mark may be
read through in two hoUts. Three

Ruth, Esther and amtahr may be
read In about the same time Or
less, The last 14 chapters of
Genesis contain the most complete
biographical sketch in the Bible,
the story of Joseph, one of the
most dramatic ever written. The
first 14 chapters of Exodus tell
the story of %/loses in Egypt. Nei-
ther of these is as long as the book
