PG. 2, - PLAINDEALER - JANUARY 31, 1968 Make Preparations For Easter Seal Campaign Improved facilities of the treatment room at the Therapy center are evident in this view of the Easter Seal Society of McHenry county at Woodstock. Partitions, curtains and rearrangement of room has. been completed to add to patient comfort and privacy. Mrs. Mrs. Louis Duddleston, rural Crystal Lake, will head the 1968 Easter Seal Therapy center campaign drive. Mrs. Duddlestem's acceptance of this vital assignment was announced by Dr. JohnL. Figley, president of the Easter Seal Society of McHenry County. Along with many dozen volunteer workers during the six weeks starting March 1, Mrs. Duddleston will direct fundraising efforts to raise money to finance the Therapy center which is located ih Woodstock or* Washington street. ' "Hie Therapy center is financed wholly by contributions" said Mrs* Duddleston as she announced fund-drive plans. "The "therapy center has operated for seventeen years as a com- • munity servant." "It receives no state or federal funds, and it receives no ! local tax funds of any kind. A main source of income is the Easter Seal sales campaign during the Lenten season." Mrs. Duddleston announced the 1968 Easter Seal campaign goal is $16,000 to match last year's fund-drive efforts. The 1968 drive will be March 1- ; April 14, coinciding with the dates publicized nationally. * Well ahead of those dates, volunteers must organize material for the mailing campaign, then address and stuff envelopes . and bundle them to the post office. Reviewing the basic services • offered at the Therapy center, Mrs. Duddleston said McHenry county is fortunate to have a man of Robert Steffi's stature as the ; executive director. Steffi has received high praise from state officials and has expanded the services offered both children and adults. "That's a point we should make," said Mrs. Duddleston. "Hie center treats both adults and children. We have patients from 18 months to almost 90 years of age! Persons are DON PEASLEY PHOTO Louis Duddleston, left, newly-named chairman of the Easter Seal drive this spring, and Mrs. Margaret Kistler, Harvard, look over the treatment areas.

"Inability to pay is never a reason for not treating a county resident, and a great number of the cases are of that nature."
