Remember How often blotters used to come through the mail As Adver Tising from literally thousands of firms i guess the Ball Point pen killed them although i would imagine there Are still some which can be purchased commercially. I be been trying to think Back to the last time one came to my desk and it seems like it must have been years. So it s the end of another Era blotters have gone the Way of running boards gasoline tank dip Sticks and rumble seats. And no one around to even mourn their end. We like to think of ourselves As living in a modern age but really nothing is new. The romans had inside plumbing and swimming pools the greeks had plenty of conveniences we associate Only with our civilization. For instance read this phrase our Earth is Degener ate bribery and corruption Are common children no longer obey their parents every Man wants to write his memoirs and the end of the world is evidently a sounds new does t it according to or.

Is the tune to o Canada that they use the same tune that has always been used i Learned the song in British Columbia in the Early thirties and it seems to be there Are a few extra notes in it.

Why could t my Friend get help from a certain Agency a. This question can Only be answered when All the facts Are known. An individual in an Agency is just As human As you Are he can make a mistake and so can you. Usually when traced Down there s been a mis understanding on someone s part. Chances Are your Friend asked for a service that red Feather agencies Are unable to vide. If this was the Case your Friend was probably referred to an organization that could help him if such an Agency exists in the Community. Perhaps the person you know applied to the wrong Agency perhaps he or she was eligible for help that properly should come from a Public tax supported government service. Perhaps the Case list of an overworked understaffed Agency was so Long he was forced to wait. Get the facts and your Community Chest office will be glad to Check Back and report. Remember your Community Chest is not a protective association for the contributor or for its 40 member agencies. It and its agencies Are in business to serve people and anxious to do it effectively.
