Fred Says It
Was the Other One
That“ Done It”
Fred Folster, prominent
farmer from east of the city
of Wolf Point has been the ob
ject of much undesirable pub
licity and “kidding" the past
week due to a similarity of
names in an article published
in last week’s issue of the
Herald-News.
Upon coming into town the
day after the paper was out,
Fred was greeted with such
remarks as “When did they
let you out?” and “You look
pretty sober today.” Now, this
Fred Folster is not a drink
ing man so these remarks
irked him no end and it was
some time before he was able
to “get” the reason for the
jibes.
It happens that an individ
ual by the name of Fred Fost
er, from the city of Havre,
had been punished for his mis
behavior by a visit to the local
bastile. This fact was reported
to the paper by the authorities
and appeared in print on the
front page.
Fred Folster wants his many
friends to know that it was
not he that deserved the rib
bing that time and the Herald-
News is glad to accommodate
our highly esteemed friend by
calling attention to the fact.

CANCER CAUSES
A DEATH EVERY
THREE MINUTES
ROOSEVELT COUNTY LOST 32
PEOPLE FROM CANCER
DEATHS THE PAST YEAR.
The drive for 1500 as Roosevelt
county’s share in the all-out at
tack on cancer, No. 1 health ene
my of the nation, is underway this
week and will continue through
out April under the direction of
Chairman Mrs. H. W. Bryan of
the local unit of the American
Cancer society’s' field army.
All have a share in this cam
paign for cancer caused the death
of at least 32 of our fellow citi
zens of Roosevelt county and 2,541
in Montana in the past four years.
Almost each one of us has had
some dear friend stricken by can-
cer in the past and others will
leave us in the future unless
something is done. The most vital
fact about cancer is that we can
do something albout it. We are
concerned with it in every age of
life. Even among babies, children
and youths cancer takes an
apalling toll. This year it will kill
2,000 American boys and girls
who will never live to see their
21st birthday. Right now cancer
is the cause of one death every
three minutes.
“Cancer costs lives. Cancer con
trol costs money. Which would
you rather pay?” is the question
of the day.
