Can one good man really make a difference?

In this age of turmoil, young people are deeply concerned about making their lives more meaningful, and doing more to help others. Through faith, prayer and action, each individual can help spread Christ's message of God's love in the world. But by living and working with other like-minded men in a Catholic religious community, the Christian Brothers, there is a unique opportunity for spiritual growth and service to others. The Christian Brothers indeed are helping to build a better world, especially through education. So if you want to know how much of a difference one good man can really make, talk to the Christian Brothers.

The Christian Brothers Brother John. F.S.C. Dept. R. 635 Ocean-Rd.. Narragansett. RI 02882 Please send me more information about the life and work of a Christian Brother.

Cancer strikes 120,000 people in our work force every year. Although no dollar value can ever be placed on a human life, the fact remains that our economy loses more than $10 billion in earnings every year that cancer victims would have generated Earnings they might still be generating if they had known the simple facts on how to protect themselves from cancer. Now you can do something to protect your employees, your company, and yourself call your local unit of the American Cancer Society and ask for their free pamphlet, "Helping Your Employees to Protect Themselves Against Cancer" Start your company on a policy of good health today!

You’ll have to work to catch up, during the summer before your junior year. But in two years you’ll earn about $2,900, more than half of which is tax free.
