Cooperating Association’s work,

the Matanuska Valley.
When ’’The government” does some
thing for a man--provides a job
for him, pays his rent, bails cut
his business, or whatever--whet is
actual'ly happening is that tne
man’s fellow citizens are coming
to his rescue. He isn’t being tid
ed by a benevolent old gentleman
with chin whiskers, known as Uncle
Sam or Santa C^aus; he is being
aided by his own countrymen, and
all of them, in one degree or an
other, are paying the bill.
Perhaps people like Fred Fohner
recognize the fact. If so, it is
a little easiar to see v/hy they
insist on repaying whet they have
received. They aren’t repaying a
mythical Uncle Sr..; they are re
paying their own fellows, precise
ly as they would if they has oor
rowea from the next-door neigh
bor.
We would have a much clearer per
spective in all of the activities
of our government, and of our own
obligations toward it, if we shar
ed that recognition of its true
essence. ... • -

Adults are not as susceptible to
aiptheria as are young children
and the reaction to the toroid is
apt to be more severe. For this
reason we do not urge those over
twelve years of abe to take this
treatment. However, if any who
have shown a positive reaction to
the Schick test wish to have the
in unization we suggest that they ■
cone in for two days, a week apart,
and receive a half dose at a time,
thus lessening the severity of the
resction.
