Numerous costumes were furnished

story, it was the Baroness who first
interested Mr. D'Arcy in skiing.
D'Arcy met the BaronesB at her
chateau in Switzerland, where she
demonstrated her skill in skiing, having been a winner in the Olympics of
1936,
D'Arcy brought his enthusiasm for
skiing back to Michigan and as a result; we have Snowsnake Mountain.
The Baroness was escorted to the
microphone, where she was interviewed by the master of ceremonies.
She said Snowsnake Mountain was
"YOnderbar" and Mr. D'Arcy was
"Double Vodnerbar." She also stated
that the American men "are the greatest lovers ubei* alls."
Edwin Foss then put the Baroness'
costume on and did some fancy skiing. ■

Your United Fund, by consolidating
the annual campaigns of many health
and welfare agencies which you are
asked to support, saves hundreds of
dollars and hundreds of man-hours
otherwise lost through wasteful and
inefficient duplication of effort. Lives
will be saved, too, when more dollars
are put to work carrying on the fight
against disease.
One campaign-once a year-accomplishes a great deal. You can, in just
a few short minutes, fight disease
for a whole year. At the same time,
you are relieved of a multitude of
time-consuming, unrelated appeals.
One campaign-once a year-holds
campaign costs to a minimum. The
United Fund lowers campaign costs,
from as high as 35% to less than 6% j
... it enables your contributions to
go further ... do more! It provides
the means of reaching more people
and raising more money.
You and your community are the
direct recipients of the benefits of the
United Fund. You benefit from improved health as a result of the active
work of research, experimentation
and educational prevention'programs,
even if yOu are not one of the stricken. This means "longer, surer Uesath,
for everyone . . . more immunity from

in mind that- Americans-should- ded->
icate' this-week to-the cultivation of
the virtue of -brotherhood.
-'••Beginning''on -February 20th, the
press * -arfd radio; 'the churches ' and
schools;' libraries and numerous
other civic organizations will call'the
attention- ■ of the nation to the year-
round ^necessity-for the practice of
the" virtue of brotherhood. "Brotherhood must-be lived" is the theme for
this year'u -observance .and conBej-
quently- the emphasis will'be placed
on- making brotherhood an integral
part of'everyday-living" in' the-home,
school,'factory) office and church. '
■ 'President Harry- S. Truman, oh his
acceptance-.of the nonary chairmanship- Of Brotherhood Week said, "1
hope that all institutions of education,
religion, civic betterment and the media of communications will engage in.|
community activity to make brotherhood- a living* reality."
' Community after community have
undertaken the task of examining the
practice of brotherhood in their areas.
.Many have made excellent progress.
On February 20th, the. National Conference of Christians and Jews will
give special recognition to that American ' community which has made the
most outstandingcadvancement in .the
improvement • in relations ' between
the Beveral races and religions and
in the treatment of .minorities. This
