PRESIDENT'S  BALL
   TONIGHT at the local
high school gym will be
featured the much-publi-
cized and for much more
worthy cause--THE PRESI-
DENT’S BALL. This infan-
tile paralysis fundraising
dansant sponsored by the
local Community Activities
under Shig Sakamoto's chair-
manship deserved your whole-
hearted support. All pro-
ceeds from this social e-
vent is to be contributed
towards the March of Dimes .
   It is a human failing to
forget the misfortunes of
a cloudy weather when the
sun is shining. Perhaps
some of us have forgotten
that it was just several
months ago that this center
went thru weeks of "polio
ban" that "--cramped our
style" of living.  No doubt
many of us would have given
anything at that time to
be assured that we would
not fall victim to this
dreaded disease. We l l,
that opportunity is  here
today and your share of
contribution asked is very
small. But it shall add
greatly towards putting
some boy or girl happily
back on his or her feet,
and that is a credit to
humanitariansim.
   Your support of the Pres-
ident's Ball and the March
of Dimes will be well re-
paid whenever crisis arises
and this "ounce of preven-
tion" may help to escape
that "pound of cure." The
residents of Amache should
be aware of the penalty of
that "pound of cure." Your
contribution today will
help rehabilitate those
who fall victim to the in-
fantile paralysis epidemic
that hit our center last
fall. That thought alone
should made you strongly
support tonight's event.
For there is something fine
and big about helping those
who are not able to help
themselves.
   Community Activities com-
mittee has worked hard to
bring you an enjoyable eve-
ning of dancing in order
that you will get”full di-
vidend" for your bit-or
should I say two bits? Now,
isn't it worth the price
of admission to know that
your share will enable some-
body to enjoy some day the
joy of dancing that you
will enjoy tonight?So let's
open the purse-strings in
our hearts and lend our
full-hearted support t o
the   President's   Ball.
SCRAP PAPER DRIVE
GOING  FULL SPEED
   To date, over two tons
of scrap paper have been
salvaged by the student
council, according to Dr.
Enoch Fumas, elementary
school principal.
  An all-high is expected
to be reached soon since
the boy Scouts have promised
their services to the drive
during Scout Week, Feb. 7-
13.
  What’s  This?
As an added  attraction 
a    five-piece     band  com- 
posed    of the members  of 
the     335th Escort Guard 
will     furnish    the music 
for this   evening's Pres-
ident's  Ball at  the local 
high    school     gym. This
unexpected  feature   should
make tonight's “coat and
tie"  event  a  very enter- 
taining   evening for those 
attending as the  MP musi-!
cal    knights     promise to
“give out” with some “hot
licks.”
