ANSSSSoAA
A cut in state and county con-
tributions to the aid of crippled child
rem has forced the Trades and Labor
Council and Rotary Club to boost
their goal to finance the excellent
work these organizations have been
doing in East Liverpool, Newell and
Chester one thousand dollars over
last years three thousand-dollar

Probably no drive in the city is so
worthy and so needed as this one put
on by the Central Body and the Ro-
tary Club. All of the money stays in
the community, it is used only for
those children whose parents cannot
afford necessary medical treatment
and it is used to best advantage
there is no waste as the records will
show.
Last year a record crowd of 1926
Grained Winland's auditorium for the
dance and floor show. Ticket sellers
are expecting an even greater attend
! ance this year Even if you can't go
to the dance, don't refuse to buy
ticket when approached by one of the
workers. You will be helping to
put some unfortunate kiddie on the
road to a normal, healthy and happy
life and that is real aid to any
community.
Ticket committees will carry their
appeals to many homes, Offices and
business places in the district-inten-
styling the work to raise the addition
al 81 900 that will mean the difference
between normal life and handicapped
existence for many children.
w. H. Locke Anderson, Rotary
president, told fellow members: "As
you know, our work with crippled
children is the outstanding project
of the club, and with other Rotary
groups all over the nation. l, for one
hope that we go over the top on
the S4,OO0-goal, as this is the only
organization in the city that is help
ing needy crippled children"
