racketeers are moving faster and
farther these nice spring days, ac
cording to reports from our farm
readers.
A recent letter received tells the
story of a magazine subscription
crew operating in eastern Montana
with the endorsement of a local vet
erans' group. The organization was
offered a small percentage of the
to go for the purchase of
polio equipment in the community.
Armed with endorsement cards of
the local organization the crews went
out into the rural areas getting "sub
scriptions" for the polio drive. The

for the purchase of hospital equip

were selfish and mean minded.
"I said we had given all we felt

Don't forget that if you want to
donate to a worthy cause there are
many bonafide local institutions and
agencies, such as the Red Cross, set
up especially to handle such contri
butions. Why not help them—as the
reader above did? Then all of the
money you donate, not just a »nail
fraction of it, will go for a worthy
purpose.
