The 1966 Easter Seal campaign is now in its second week to meet the $15,000 goal. There are many programs operated by the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Association for the Crippled that draw heavily on the organization's operating budget. One of these projects is the summer speech clinic operated each summer at the therapy center in Woodstock by Easter Seal. This program will operate seven weeks this summer starting June 20 aiid continuing to Aug. 5. Two speech therapists have been hired to operate this program, Mrs. Lu Pierce of Woodstock, the director, and' her assistant Lenore Mika of Cary. Mrs. Pierce, who for-the past four years has been employed as the speech therapist in School District 72 in Woodstock, received her bachelor's degree from Northern Illinois university. Prior to her four years in District 72, she worked as a counselor and therapist for children from 5 through 12 in the division, of Services for Crippled Children summer camp at N1U and as a counselor and therapist for the hard-of-hearing young adults in the division of vocational rehabilitation 'summer camp at NIU. * With this background of therapy work, the board of the Mc- Kenry county chapter is con- •; . • • ' PUBLIC PULSE (The Plaindealer invites the public to use this column as an expression of their views on subjects of general interest in dur community.

Mrs. Pierce makes note of the "fact that the clinic will consist of intensive therapy for some of the following types of speech problems : Articulation, stuttering, cerebral palsy, delayed speech and language, voice, asphasia and hard-of-hearing. "This program" she asserts, "affords an opportunity for pre-schoolers to get' speech help if necessary, parochial school children who are presently receiving speech help and need further work through the summer months in order to progress in reading and speech." The fees for this service arc contingent upon the ability of those receiving help to pay. Some of the campaign's funds are used' to support this program that brings those with speiech difficulties from , every township in the county, according to past attendance records. CANCER CRUSAl KICK-OFF DIJ SET FOR MARCH » A fast-moving program to remind Cancer Crusade workers of the mission they must accomplish during April, will launch McHenry county's allout Cancer Crusade this Sunday evening, March 27. The 7 p.m. dinner meeting at the Timbers restaurant will br» the signal for more than 750 volunteer workers to conduct a two-pronged program in this 1966 "Tell Your - Neighbor" campaign, Arnold May, Cancer Crusade chairman, said this week. More than 100 key leaders will attend the dinner, obtain workers' kits and hear a message from Roger Reichert, who heads the county's American Cancer society unit. Kick-off sneaker will be Dr. Armiger H. Sommers, research chemist and head of the science information department fnr Abbott Laboratories !n North Chicago. Mrs. Nancy Gormle.v, district director of the ACS, will take part in this county-wide kick-off, and Wayne Phillips, state director for the 1966 Cancer Crusade, has been invited to attend also. r May said the month long program to contact businesses and individual citizens is twofold: To distribute literature on how to recognize the seven danger signals and to obtain money for the 1966 ACS program of research, education and service. One of the little known services right here in McHenry county is under the direction of Mrs. Carle Young, service chairman and a volunteer worker for the ACS for fifteen years. Often called the heart of ACS activities, the service program offers direct help both to cancer patients and to their families at no cost. The help may consist of many things: Visiting nurse and housekeeper service, loan and gift services (hospital beds, for example), and free dressings. ^ Volunteers staff the service center, located in the front of the Woodstock VFW post home at Throop street in Woodstock. "Often the help ofr.these service volunteers is tp show cancer victims that someone cares about their efforts to whip the disease and get. well," observed May. Dr. Sommerg; featurertT speaker, ;has an outstanding background in research and has been active in the work, of the American Cancer socidfy for many years. May said three new short film strips will be viewed at the kick-off meeting. Goal this year is $20,000, an increase of $2,000 over last year's collections. An improved industrial solicitation program^ spearheaded by Charles Itidgeway and Harold Wold is one reason for optimism concerning Ifhe higher target. Candidate How Can I? THOMAS J.
