Why go out in tiie country to some area (who knows where) and spend $2 and one half million 03 a high school? .

Christmas Seal Sales Up
Dear Mr. Baumgartner: The executive board of the Kosciusko County Tuberculosis Ass’n. wishes td thank The Mail-Journal for the publicity received during the 1964 Christmas Seal campaign. It would also like to express its appreciation to the business places who displayed the Christmas Seal posters I and to the Bet 40 organization and the township chairmen of the local TB Ass’n. for giving so generously of their time to the campaign. A special thank you goes to the residents of Kosciusko county for their donations. Every contribution is deeply appreciated and will help ins the struggle to eradicate sis,__We are happy to report an increase in the Christmas Seal campaign this year. Our total as of March 1 was $5,961.79: Last year's ; total was $5,187.56. All but 19 per i cent of this money remains in the county to help in tiie fight against tuberculosis. It is not too late to send in a contribution. The campaign closes with the end of our fiscal year, March 31. Tliese funds pay for the Tine tuberculin tests being administered in the schools and for the reading of the Xrays taken at the State Board of Health mobile unit. The Tine test, used for the first time last year, costs your TB Ass’n. three times as much as the older, and less reliable. Patch test. In addition to this we have a stepped up screening program. and tiie county health nurses have given nearly 6.000 Tine tests this school year as compared with 3, 6rt) last year. In the spring of 1964 a total of 3.088 X-rays were taken at the mobile unit compared w-ith 2, 432 in 1963. Tliese tests and X-rays along .with an expanded health educa’ion program, have increased our expenses far over Seal. Campaign funds received. This has necessitated drawing on emeregney reserve funds, and' unless we are able, to increase the campaign funds considerably in the future, your tuberculosis association' will have to limit the number of tuberculin tests 'and chest. X-rays now offered free of charge in. the county.* In the past month four new active cases were found in the county and two patients are being checked for possible TB. Therp were 106 new cases of TB reported in Indiana during January this to 88 during the same period last ycai- -- an incn per cent’, ■ We sincerely hope the citizens of Kosciusko county will give their vvi’.ole hearted support to • the • seal campaign so we may continue to offer the unlimited- Tine testing and Xray programs.

Plan Mass Immunization For Polio In County April 4 and June 6
A meeting was held at the Warsaw high school on Monday night to make plans for a mass immunization. against polio. The county Medical Society was represented as well as 52 persons from all the communities in Kosciusko county. Feeding stations for the oral polio vaccine were set up as follows, Milford, Pierceton, North Webster, Mentone, Silver Lake, Etna Green, Syracuse, and two stations in the city of Warsaw. Dr. Dormire of Warsaw, chairman of the community relations committee for this project, stated that even though one has already received STANLEY PEQUIGNOT GUEST DRIVING SUPER SPORT Stanley Pequignot, Indiana university student and son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Pequignot of Pierceton, is “guest driving” a new car as part of a nationwide automotive research project. Pequignot, president of the university’s Interfratemity Council, is one of a selected group of 15 Indiana men and women campus leaders taking part in the program being held at 20 colleges across toe country by Chevrolet. The students were given toe 1965 Impala Super Sport coupes to drive for a month after which they will give toe automaker a detailed evaluation of the car as to its requirements for young adult transportation. The program at' Indiana university is part of «a research study bemade in the 20 leadir. ■ across the nation as a project of Chevrolet’s owner relations program. Tfie new cars were turned over to students to drive following a dinner meeting March 4 at which they were guests of Chevrolet. During the Session the student group participated in a no-holds-barred discussion on cars. Comments were. tape, recorded for jstudy. The college program is an expansion of Chevrolet’s owner relations program which began five years ago. Since then similar discussion meetings have been held with over 4,400 owners across Ute nation. The college forum series is in recognition of tiie increasingly important role played by college age motorists in today’s car market. ■l' . ■ 1 ■' 1 ■■■ h ■ L «»A» KITTY A ANO THM CIAMtRIBO* Ire’ T W«tK
