At that hour the heavens gushed forth enough water to make our quota for the month, but in spite of Cerebral Palsy Tuesday, May 15, is the day designated for the Cerebral Palsy drive. During this past year several children, afflicted with cerebral palsy, were cared for in the county. If the drive this year is successful, many more" services can be offered in the future. The medical center in McHem'y has given a room for the therapy work to the foundation. There will also be a medical advisory board, which will be very beneficial. Money is needed for physical therapy and especially for speech therapy for these afflicted children. They have never had a speech therapist for them in the county and the need is great. When the volunteer collector calls on you Tuesday evening, please remember the needs of these children. CHERI LEE KRUSE NAMED TO ATTEND 16TH GIRLS STATE Miss. Che;ri Lee Kruse, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Wallace Kruse of Richmond, is the choice of the Richmond unit of the American Legion auxiliary to the 1956 session of Illinois Girls State. The sixteenth session will get under way on the campus of MacMurray college, Jacksonville. June 19. Chosen because of her qualities of good character, alertness, honesty, leadership and cooperativeness in her school's activities, Cheri's participation in Girls CHERI LEE KRUSE parties, elect officials to govern them from city,, county, sta'ulegislature and administration level. State officers' inaugural proceedings offer an exciting evening for the Girls State citizens. For the comfort and pleasure of the girls, they have their own post office, bank, canteen, educational and administrative offices. The Jacksonville daily paper covers their activities and is distributed to them. Girls may attend the religious services of their choice. Sunday, June 24. will be visitors' day, when many parents visit Girls State, as well as interested auxiliary members and alumnae of earlier sessions. A late afternoon reception is given, honoring all guests, on Sunday. A tour of Springfield and the Lincoln shrines culminates a full week of government in action for the 450 Girls Staters. . Special tribute should be paid the sixty or more women, not all auxiliary members, who give this week from their busy lives as teachers and other qualified personnel to aid in molding this program. No staff member is reimbursed for her week of service; all serve on a voluntary basis. We wish Cheri Lee a pleasant week and hope she will return with many, memories to last her a lifetime.
