M. D. A. A. MEETS, REPORTS GIVEN The annual meeting of the Kosciusko, Noble, Whitley Chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America, Inc. was held recently. Darwin Klenke, chapter president and chairman of patient and community services, reports it was a good showing, but feels “it’s not enough". Knowledge that more than 250,000 known victims of muscular dystrophy all over the country depend upon medical research as the only hope of life should be a real incentive for every member of the community to join in the fight against this tragic disease. Muscular dystrophy, a mysterious disease which attacks the voluntary muscles, strikes persons of all ages, but the majority of them are children. M. D. A. A. supports more than a hundred muscle research projects in this country and abroad. Great strides in research have been made and it is only through the co-operation of interested citizens that the funds are available to carry on the extensive Research and Patient Service programs. Patient services and orthopedic appliances for M. D. victims are provided through local chapters. It has been requested that if anyone has been diagnosed as having muscular dystrophy and needs assistance please feel free to call on the local chapter. Mr. Klenke can be contacted by writing to r I Cromwell, or in the Cromwell telephone exchange. Persons interested in joining the local chapter are also invited to write or call.

Church of the Brethren. Plans are being made for the community Thanksgiving service to be held at the Syracuse Church * of the Brethren. The service is scheduled for Thanksgiving morning at 8 o’clock.

Klenke expressed the hope that all citizens will support this effort to aid muscular dystrophy victims and also to support the local County United Fund which supports the Kosciusko, Noble, Whitley Chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Associations.
