man for the annual drive. The
goal for Kent County this year is
$4,000, Ehinger pointed this
week, compared with a total of
$11 ,120 raised in the county last

dent in the middle county. Every
member of the committee will
bring vitality important informa-
ton about this dread disease to

cause could be cut in half. Kent

niger declared. Attending will be
