These various donations bk.,eame so numerous; in seine Of the IONVII and cities of the Yitited States, that, they handed together and started a "Leave is Alone!

This, however, in itself would no: Al i.- needed is an org,aniz all,-m, something like the Red Feather which: would solve the problem for ;gushI. Instead of being an easy prey for every transient canvasser, 11 would then be possible for the merchant to figure out how much he could afford to donate to charity and pay it in one lump 51.1M of money or goods yearly. h`..very chili, organization or group who desired a donation would then apply to the central fund. Think what this would mean in valuable time saved and an evening out of the burden of giving, amongst all store owners, instead of overloading a few unfortunates. This plan should not stop at the merchants however. It is our contention that because the benefit of these var- ious donations goes to each and every citizen,, the load should be distributed evenly throughout the community. Because a storekeeper has goods on his shelves, why should he be singled out to support every project in town while the salaried man gets off scot-free? The merchant is on the spot and he knows it. Shouldn't We all contri- buteaccording to our means and keep the merchants from having to declare .a "Leave Us Alone Week". * * * IN DEFENCE OF BACHELORS During the course of the past week, several unkind remarks have fallen on our ears, directed mainly at bachelors. Our ire has been aroused and taking pen in hand we are rising to the defence of all bachelors be they short or tall, fat or thin, bald or woolly. It is about time that the general public realized how important bachelors are in our daily scheme of things. Who, we ask von, pays the most income tax. Not the married man—but the bachelor. We admit that it is a very short jump from being a bachelor to ,a married man but the difference is there all the same.
