Your Help Needed The Adams County Cancer Society held its regular meeting Tuesday night. Two professional staff members, one from the state and one from the national organization, were present to explain the new cancer society policy. The new policy is this: all local cancer societies must withdraw from local united fund or community chest efforts by 1960, and wage a separate fund-raising campaign. The reasons given are very good ones, from the point of view of the national organization: health agencies, with special appeal, such as the cancer society, should not be lumped together with social agencies like the boy scouts, girl scouts, community centers, etc; separate fund-raising, on a house-to-house basis, is more effective than a combined effort; the important Warning pamphlets concerning cancer can best be distributed on a house-to-house basis while making such a campaign. The Adams county cancer society, under Dr. John B. Spaulding, is operated by a board of directors. The local board is made up of persons from all parts of the county who give up their free time to meet and publicize the cancer society campaigns. The board fully agrees with A. J. Perrine, assistant national crusade director, and with Robert Biddlecombe, northern field representative of the Indiana division, that a separate campaign is more effective. However, most of the members of the board are also members of numerous other organizations: crippled children, polio, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, heart, cystic fibrosis, tq mention only a few. If the cancer society is to operate under the national organization, a number of “new faces” are urgently needed. Perhaps some of those who have had one or another of the forms of cancer, and recovered, would be willing to help set up a separate drive. A house-to-house campaign, county wide, is a tremendous undertaking. To stage a separate one for every worthy cause will require a tremendous increase in active participation on the part of the public. The Fort Wayne-Allen county group has revolted. And they have been supported by the Allen county medical society. Everyone recognizes that a divided effort is not good, however. So the question is: will the Adams county cancer society fall by the wayside, a victim oi a squeeze play between national policy on fund drives and local nonparticipation in separate drives? Or will some volunteers come forward who are willing to help plan a concerted house-to-house separate campaign?

The Greyhounds dropped four games—one each to Union Center, .Hartford, Pennville, and Bryant. Hartford and Pennville are both county champs and Union Center was runner-up to their county champion, so, Central’s quintet had quite a rough time of it. Good luck against those Cubs, Greyhounds! -ACKS- — Many vocal music students from Central’s music department acquired medals last Saturday at the northern Indiana school band, orchestra, and vocal asociatjon comnetition at Fort Wayne Central.

Chances are, if you do and you’re in the Adams Central Sunshine society, you’re taking him to the society’s sweetheart banquet Saturday, February 14.

Better be getting your boy, girls: for Valentine Day is coming fast! —A.C.H.S.— - Junior Jim Brown and seniors Clair Inniger, Georgianna Essex, and Barbara Arnold have been chosen to serve as pages in Indiana’s house of representatives today.

es are also in order for Central’s industrial arts instructor. Doyle Collier, who will be laid up in the hospital for a while.

H. S — Why don’t you read a book? This* question could be very profitably asked at Monmouth High, now that we have many new and better books.

S. — Speaking of books, the seventhgraders are in the process of reading at least one of the classics per student this year.
