and not  less.      During the past
year  we htive suffered  the  loss
thru death of a niimbei- of large
contriliL.tors   to   the   Fund   and
also a large f,Toup of givers uho

this  country.       II  is.   therefore.
essential   that   we   receive

For   L's--Life,   Liberty   and   the
Pursuit   of   Happiness"   should
