1--WE simply couldn't have made
it without the Foundation" Mrs.
Stoner said.
But now it looks like the local
chapter can't make 1t without
the help of the community.
David Macdonald, president of
the Montgomery County chapter
of the Foundation, will start an
emergency fund drive the 18th
of this month, hoping to erase
a $1,000 deficit incurred for
treatment of patients like Mrs.
Stoner.
The chest respirator she uses
at night, for instance. cost $4,000
of Foundation money, and it
needs constant maintenance.
Care Of patients costs the 10.
cal chapter about $4,000 a month,
Macdonald said. The local Chap.
ter is in a spot because the Ma
tional Foundation has helped as
much as it could already this
year.

It's Hazardous!
Are You a Superman?

Men are showoffs.

And besides, most guys are

These observations come,
strangely enough, from mem
Der of the so-called stronger sex
Thomas Fansler.
In support of his opinions,
Fansler, director of the home
division of the National Safety
Council, cites such facts as
these:
Seven out of 10 persons who
die in accidents are males

than females in accidents in.

drownings, firearms, railroads,
poison gases and poisons.
I'm a recent year." Fansler
pointed out, "men were killed
three times more often in motor
vehicle accidents than women.
Thirty years ago, the average
white female lived about three
years longer than the average
white male. Today she can ex-
pect to outlive her man by more
than six years.
A big reason for this, accord
ing to Fansler: Women are
more careful working and play
ing than men.
IF there's a hazardous job to
be done around the house,"
Fansler explained, 'the man

"And men SO often are show

She and her husband, Oar

even the slight progress she has
