iday, April §, I§§4 THE McHENRy BLAJKDEAL1B Holiday Hills URGE HOLIDAY HILL RESIDENTS TO VOTE APRIL 14 Inra Young Next Tuesday, April 14 Is Election Day. I know, I can hear many of you saying "Oh, that's a primary election -- I never vote in a primary." Why not? Aren't you interested in whose name will be on the ballot next November? How often there is criticizm about the man in office, but if you didn't go out to vote, you help put him in that office. What about the men who would fill that office well? Your vote might put him in that office. Exercise the important privilege we enjoy as American citizens. GET OUT AND VOTE!!! .Holiday Hills is always well represented at the polls--let's make it that way again. It proves we are interested people living in an important area. Cancer Crusade Last week it was my privilege to attend the kickoff dinner for the annual cancer crusade. After the dinner several speakers and the showing of Slides showed the importance of the drive. Figures were quoted on the ratio of citizens living H6re who will someday have to face cancer. Few of us escape it either in ourselves, our families or friends. For those of us wjhio have already been close to itt jthe need for finding a cure, soon, is all to obvious. Your dollars are used to further research, bringing that day, closer and closer. Who knows, it may be your dollar that marks the turning point. When a* volunteer knocks at your door for the cancer crusade, accept and read the literature, and then help yourself by giving what you can. Vi Abbink, who has lost a brother thru this dread disease, is chairman of the crusade not only here in Holiday Hills, but the whole area running from 120 to 176 on River Road. If any of you can give some of your time as a volunteer, Vi will be happy to hear from you. Call her at 385-6060.
