Free Press Photo Hobbswill try to-save the children A Whitby doctor will fly to .India at his own expense as his contribution to the Inter- national Year of the Child. Dr. Ken Hobbs will leave Sept. 12 to deliver a badly needed planeload of measle.s vaccine which could save 150,000 child from deafness and blindness. llobbs must, however, get sorne federal government assistance. The Whitby Rotary com- mittee, which the former town councillor chairs,-has asked the Canadian Interna- tional Development Agency for $30,0, to help* finance the project. With, out,.thik help the number of vaccinations that will be ,provided willbe 25,000 not the 150000 the club is aiming for Hobbs said. The committee has raised $10,000 of the $40,000 needed for the serum which will be a dministered -under, Hobb's direction in an area of south- ern India. "We are going to see that it is applied fairly, without any caste system and with 'no barriers of any kind to child- ren between the ages of one and five, " he said. The red measie vaccine is not manufactured in India despite the fact that it is one of the most common diseases in the country, Hobbs said. "Why it is not made there, I don't .know," he said. Hobbs said, that his personal attention is needed to ensure the proper use of the vaccine. "Lt is my responsibility to see it is used for the purpose we told'the goverument it was to be used for," he said. The vaccine airlift was started when Rotary District 707, which includes Whitby, was twinned with the south- ern India district.' The twinning programn is a Rotary plan 'where help is given to underdeveloped countries. The Whitby club has been involved in other projects, notably a campaigu' to raise $6,000 for an' elementary school in Jarnaica. >An Air India plane will take the 2,600 pound cargo out of New York to'Bombay and then to Madras, Sept. 15 Hobbs said: I3efore the airlift happens, final approval for t he plan must come for the, India Ministry of Health, which is expected in the next couple of weeks. There is als'othe question of government help. "We are in a 94 per cent go state right now. We, are just waiting for the go-ahead," Hobbs said.
