This link is called the "cold line". There may be life on Mars. We don't know for sure, of course, but three space sci­ entists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena say that organic material is probably being produced by sunlight on the surface of Mars. Simulating Martian conditions these JPL researchers produced formal­ dehyde. acetaldehyde an d glycolic acids, three organic compounds believed t|0 have been the precursors of bio­ logical molecules on the prim­ itive Earth. Of course, we may know for a certainty soon. NASA has a Mariner spacecraft speeding to Mars even as you read this and it should reach Mars in No­ vember. • * • When Astronauts Arm­ strong and Aldrin landed on the Moon juSt a little more thAn two years ago. they took with them flags of countries.

There's many Prizes given away FREE each day ! Beginning Sept. 1 all veterans who apply for a Veterans Administration guaranteed home loan must subscribe to a lair housing agreement. Donald E. Johnson, Ad­ ministrator of Veterans Af­ fairs, has announced that all applicants for a VA home loan guaranty and all persons submitting offers to purchase VA owned properties, must complete the required statement in order to be con­ sidered. The applicant must agree that he will not discriminate for any reason of race, color, religion or national origin, in any future sale or rental of the property being acquired, Johnson explained. Johnson said the new requirement was being initiated as another step toward assuring that the federal housing laws are obeyed. A proven way to shorten a story is to stop listening. Rapid growth of a significant new service program marked the past year's efforts of the McHenry county unit of the American Cancer society, board members learned during the annual report roundup at Woodstock last week. The meeting also marked a change in leadership as chairman, Arnold May, who has headed the county-wide board for several years after serving as fund drive chairman for a lengthy period, was succeeded by Clarence Sisson, Marengo financial executive. Sisson has been active in the unit and has been instrumental in successful fund drives in the southwest part of McHenry county because he served as the branch chairman in that area the past three years. A record fund drive for the past year proved a fitting background for May to make his exit from the board, for he has worked earnestly to build a fund-raising team in each of the seventeen townships. Efforts by Mrs. Harry Bright, one of the branch chairman, sparked a sizable boost in returns from the southeast corner of McHenry county-as one example, May said. Jerry Powers served as income development chairman, and he added to the fund drive team which May had been gathering in recent years. Mrs. Bright has accepted chairmanship for the Cancer Crusade in 1972. The 1971 drive netted $28,953. The new service program launched a year ago was the "Reach to Recovery" program, headed by Mrs. Betty Freeman, Cary. She said her efforts have been helpful with twenty-five persons, seventeen in the past four months. She showed a "Reach to Recovery" kit which she gives patients when she visits them in a hospital. Women who are mastectomy patients are assisted in this program, one that provides practical insight into total recover-both physically and psychologically, said Mrs. Freeman. Mrs. Carol Cooney reported record memorial contributions- gifts to the Cancer society in memory of persons who died of cancer during the past year. A total of $5,961 has been received this year, compared with $3,650 last year and $800 four years ago! Mrs. Eleanor Reid, service chairman, toldttf the examples of sacrifice by many It&U* come 0 •How come you don't show me one of your report-cards?' What happens when you're offered $18,000 for your $24,200 pile of ashes? You take it if you haven't increased your home insurance to keep pace with inflation. This is the kind of problem you could face if you bought and insured your home for $18,000 in 1963. See me to find out if your home is insured for its full value. I'll tell you about a low-cost State Farm Homeowners Policy that will insure your home for all it's worth ... and keep it that way with automatic Inflation Coverage.

One volunteer has made weekly visits to a Chicago hospital since Christmas so she can take a cancer victim to that hospital for treatments. Rehabilitation, transportation and providing bandages are among the duties of this committee, she reviewed. Expansion of educational programs hopefully will in­ clude stepped-up efforts in industrial plants, said Mrs. Frank Gregory. She wants to show movies inside plants and to distribute literature and welcomes inquiries about scheduling these programs. She's continuing with extensive school programs, too. One new board member was elected--Mrs. William Ship- man who had an important role in the successful Dorr township drive this past year. WHO KNOWS? 1.

Gates, Mount Joy, Pa.: I remember my father taking me to the Gettysburg Bat­ tlefield and pointing to a special spot on the ground and saying, to me that his father (my grand­ father) laid here on the ground during the battle while men died around him. My great-grandfather and seven sons enlisted in 1861 at Lincoln s first call. Some were prisoners and some were wounded. My grandfather was wounded at "Cold Harbor" Virginia when a mortar shell hit a tree that was standing near by. He was discharged, but recov­ ered from his wounds and re-en­ listed again, and was present at "Appomattox Court House" when Lee surrendered. My grandfather was born February 14, 1831 and died 1928. My father was born Octobcr 3. 1883. My grandfather was 52 years old when my father was born and my father was 52 years of age when I was born. I am 35 years old and can still talk to people who listened to the stories of the "Civil War".
