Sister Kenny
Drive Under
Way In County
Joseph B. Buckley
Serving AS Local
Chairman For Funds

Joseph B. Buckley, chairman of
the intensive drive for the Sister
Elizabeth Kenny Foundation, stated
today that the campaign would con-
tinue for an indefinite period.
Small coin boxes were placed in
the various business places in Cald-
we'll this week and the funds de-
rived from this source will apply to
the Foundation Anyone desiring to
give a private gift should contact
the chairman.
This is the first time that Noble
county has been called upon to help
in this worthy cause.
The funds derived from this drive
in Noble county as we'll as the re-
mainder of the state will be used in
construction of an institution for the
purpose of teaching Americans how
to help those victims who have been
stricken with poliomyelitis.
Sister Kenny, Australia, has done
phenomenal work this year at the
Minneapolis Institute where over
1900 patients from all over the Un-
tied States were treated for polio.
R. Kenneth Kerr, editor of the
Eagle Gazette, Lancaster, is serving
as state chairman in this third an
nual appeal to the public. Bing
Crosby is chairman of the executive
committee and Kate Smith is serving
as national chairman. RoSalind Rus
sell is chairman for the Women's S
division.
Two scholarships will be offered
at Ohio State university for the
training of a graduate nurse from
that school as an infantile paralysis
therapy technician at the Elizabeth
Kenny institute, Minneapolis, Mimi
In Australia, all nurses are re-
ferred to as Sister, title which all
those in that profession carry. Sister
Kenny came to America one year
ago and is remaining for an indef-
mite period to assist in this work
here.
AS chairman Of the Noble county
organization, Buckley lends his sup
port to the universal appeal for ad-
ditional funds, which will be used
in fighting polio.
This is an opportunity for Noble
countians in every section to do
their bit.
Any contribution, sent by mail,
should be addressed to Joseph B.
Buckley, Caldwell, Ohio.
The gift, no matter how small,
will be appreciated by the local
committee.

CUMULATIVE AGE OF
FAMILY TOTALS 635

Often we commit ourselves to
reading in publications interest
ing historical data and facts
pertaining to the cumulative
ages of living members of one
family.
We believe somewhat of a
record is indicated in the living
children of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Fox, early pioneer
settlers of the Fulda commun-
ity.
Accommodating the records in
determining the ages of the nine
children, six girls and three
boys, we find the ages ranging
from so to a mere 81 years, and
total 635.
The children and their respec-
tive ages are as follows: Mrs.
Rose Conners, Wheeling, w. Va,
80; Mrs. Matilda Fish, Wheeling,
w. Va, Is; Mrs. Mary Ann
Schwallie, GAINESVILLE, rs; Mrs.
Katherine Wilson, 70; Herman
Fox, Toledo, II; Mrs. Anna
Shafer, Dudley, 68; Ignatz Fox,
Cumberland street, Caldwell,
66; Albert Fox, Canton, So; and
Mrs. Cecilia Holman, Harrietts-
vile, 81.
Their aged parents were SO
years young at the time of their
demise If history repeats itself,
and we know that it has, the
nine children still have a gen
erous number of years before
them.

Marietta Students
Not Happy With Gift

Marietta, Dec. 24-Three hund-
red fifty veterans who are enrolled
at Marietta college yesterday sent
a petition to Congressman P. w
Griffiths of the 18th Confessional
District, asking for an increase ir
monthly government subsistence
payments. The veterans requested
an increase of $40 a month for un-
married students and $25 month
for married students, raising the
total subsistence pay to $85 and
Sis respectively.
Their petition points out that this
amount is needed ''to meet our in
creased cost of living so that we
may concentrate our efforts in aC-
quirlng the education which the
government has stated we are en-
titled to receive"
The petition further states
Under . the present subsistence
rates we have incurred debts
through lack of adequate income
which threaten either to force the
majority of veteran students out OF
this college or to lower scholastic
and health standards to the point
where the original purpose of Pub
lie Law 346 will be defeated"
Fifty-five of the 708 exservice-
men at Marietta College are dis
abled veterans, enrolled under
Public Law 16. Nearly half the re
naming number did not sign the
petition.
The following committee, COM
posed of two single and two mar
ried veterans, sponsored the peti-
ton: Alexander Bellinger, Bunker
