Suggestion Made
For Aiding Chest
In Entertoininq

A way to make an additional con-
tribution to the Community Chest
Federation campaign without
spending more than the family bud
get calls for was found by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph D. kaufman, and they
feel it is a method any one can fol-
low.
This is the time of year when
people have a place in their bud
gets for entertaining their friends,
Mr.. Kaufman said, and it is also
a time, he added, when, in the spirit
of Christmas, I'VE should give con-
sideration to our fellow men"
The two were combined In the
plan Mr.. Kaufman outlined.
Instead of giving dinner party
for your friends, he said, give the
Chest the larger portion of the
money you had set aside for enter
tanning. Then ask your friends in
for an informal get-together that
costs only a fraction of what you
had intended to spend. Explain to
them how they are helping the
Chest.
Mr.. Kaufman says he knows this
method works because he has tried
1t. With the Chest campaign faced
with failure, Mr.. and Mrs. kaufman
contributed an additional 81 900
which they had planned to use to
entertain 100 friends at dinner. In
stead of the dinner. they asked the
friends to attend an informal party
at their home.

average number of $50 patients
there has been treated with it. Use
of the other drugs began when it
was found per cent of the patients
were allergic to promin.
Thirty-seven patients were dis
missed from Carville last year with
the dread disease satisfactorily ar
rested. Health Service doctors
pointed out leprosy is less con-
tagious than tuberculosis. The germs
have numerous similarities, they
said, adding streptomycin and dia-
zone have shown promise in treat
ment OF tuberculosis.
While most health service physi-
clans are optimistic regarding the
new treatment of leprosy, they are
quite conservative in discussing
whether a "cure" has been found.
But there is a new spirit at Car
vile, the doctors say. and there is
new hope for the virtual eradica-
