Fire Prevention Week was ^o mentioned, and members and guests enjoyed a special film which showed the unpreparedness of San Francisco when the earthquake and resulting fires destroyed the city in the early * part of the century. The awakening of the public to warnings Came too late, but the vast destruction which resisted made bitizens realize fllfe importance of safety measures which would prevent a similar occurrence in the future. Colored slides of the Kiwanis trip to the Crippled Children'? camp at Riverside subdivision were shown, and it was heartwarming to see the smiles of pleasure on the faces of thesr unfortunate little ones who tofiefitted by the recreatior provided for them that day Slides of the July Fiesta daj were also shown and gave us r return glimpse at one of the summer's biggest events in the city. 1958-59 national merit scholarshin competition, among them Richard Herdrich of McHenry. who is sports editor of the school publications.

This i| Pot true. Since the average (jfost of one case of tuberculous is approximately $15,000, ijt would be impossible for ristmas Seals to even begin cover the& expensive cost of equate treatmnet. The asr ciation is primarily a caseding organization. Other rvices which it renders inude health education services tb schools, industry, and the general public; rehabilitation Services for tuberculosis patients; demonstration projects; participation in national and state medical research projects in tuberculosis; and many other civic and patient services aimed at the total eradication of the tubercle bacillus. The tax law is designed to furnish adequate diagnostic and laboratory aids for the tu-r bercu'ous, plus treatment in special tuberculosis sanatoria in Illinois. Dr. Sandeen urges every /McHenry county voter to get \out and vote on Nov. 4 and to •vote 'yes" for the tuberculosis :care and treatment excess tax taw The future of tuberculosis control in McHenry county lies 1m the hands of the voters.
