Editorial Comment
ELECT A CHECKUP
There is a story about a man
who went to the polls. He voted
for a candidate who had been
defeated once and was running
again for the same office.
When asked why, the man
said, "Well, I voted for him be-
fore, and I never had it so
good."
He was like the man who was
asked why he hadn't had a
health checkup. He replied he
hadn't been to a doctor in years,
and he had never felt so good.
I don't think we need to say
any more about that except to
remind you that the American
Cancer Society urges every
American to "FIGHT CANCER
WITH A CHECKUP AND A
CHECK".
Maybe this will get you to
thinking about what lies behind
that statement. Ft sur-ly an
organization like the American
Cancer Society can't go arourd
giving that kind of advice with-
out good reason.
Actually, the reasons are
iretty obvious. For one. it is
just a good practice—for a doc-
tor may be able to detect some-
thing that can be repaired with
a minimum of effort. Cancer,
for instance, does not show any
sign of pain or discomfort until
it is well advanced. Only a
doctor can catch it time for
treatment.
Maybe you do believe in the
value of health checkups. But
perhaps you have been reluc-
tant—shall we say it bluntly.
Some men—and women, for that
matter—think they are foolish
going to a doctor—especially
when they feel "fit as a fiddle".
But remember the slogan of
the American Cancer Society.
Call your doctor. Tell him you
have been impressed with the
American Cancer Society's ad-
vice and you would like to fol-
low it.
Don't forget, much has been
learned in diagnosis and treat-
ment through research support-
ed by the American public.
So please GIVE and GIVE
GENEROUSLY to the American
Cancer Society's 1957 Cancer
Crusade.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WEEK
(Seminole (Tex.) Sentinel)
The week of April 8th through
the 14th has been set aside as
National Sunday School Week,
dedicated to America's Youth in
Religion. The sponsor of the
week, the Laymen's National
Committee, Inc., has chosen this
guiding theme for the occasion:
"Sunday School — Source of
Spiritual Strength."
More than ever before our
young people need the guidance
of religious training and educa-
tion. It is through our Sunday
Schools that tomorrow's leaders
are introduced to fundamental
principles that lay the ground
work for a fuller, happier and
more useful later life. It is
through the Sunday School that
religious appreciation and un-
derstanding can be applied in
terms of everyday living, and
help our young people to be-
come better citizens. This is the
significance of Sunday School
Week.
Attend church Sunday.
WATCH YOUR HAT, COAT
The sign over the coat rack
read: "Not responsible for lost
or stolen articles." John glanced
at it as he hung up his coat and
THEY HAVE THEIR REVENGE
(Exchange)
February 25th marked an inv-
portant anniversary. But it
wasn't one that . was received
with cheers. It was the 44th
anniversary of the federal in-
come tax.
A look backward is in order.
In 1913, in the tax's infancy,
the normal rate was one per cent
and the highest surtax was six
per cent.
Today, the tax starts at 20 per
cent on the lowest taxable in-
j comes, and rises to a high of
91 per cent.
The Portland Oregonion makes
this wrv and apt comment: "We
didn't invent the income tax
. . . The British started using
it to support their military
campaigns in the late 1700s,
shortly after we licked them at
Yorktown and won our inde-
pendence. Well, they have their
revenge "
"The Jazz Singer", starring
A1 Jolson, was the first talking
picture.
The two of them drifted cas-
ually down the corridor into the
dining salon and were assigned
to a table by the hostess. The
lunch was exceptionally good,
and both were hungry. The
minutes flew by. John glanced
at his watch, "Golly, it's almost
1 o'clock. Better get going."'
But when they got back to the
coat rack, Jean's fur coat was.
gone.
"I'm sorry, sir,'' said the
manager, "but we are not re-
sponsible for lost articles. We
put up the coat rack for the
convenience of our patrons, but
that sign you see makes you
responsible for your own hat and
coat. I'm awfully sorry, but we
just can't watch everybody's
possessions."
The fact is that in the case
of Jeans fur coat, the restaurant
would not have been responsible
for its loss even if there had
been no sign. One who takes
off a garment and places it on
a coat rack, as one would do in
a restaurant, retains the power
of surveillance and control over
it himself.
Ordinarily, under such cir-
The case would be different,
however, where the coat had
been delivered to an employee
in a checkroom. In such event,
the management probably would j/* ^
be responsible. So, also, in the
cases where a customer checks
valuables with a bathing, house
proprietor, or with a hotel desk
clerk, or leaves his automobile
with the parking lot attendant
to be parked and stored for him,
those receiving possession of
the customer's property have
the duty to use proper care to
see that the customer's property
is returned.
