McCuUom I*k* CONDUCT CEREBRAL PALSY FUND DRIVE LOCALLY SUNDAY Ifive Levesque Post 491 Many of our members do not realize the importance of the benefits which are offered to them as Legionnires. One of these benefits is a low cost life insurance plan which is offered to all members in good standing. On the bulletin board in the Legion home is a brochure which explains this plan in detail. We all have the obligation of seeing that our families are provided for in case of unexpected trouble. Information may be obtained by writing to Insurance Department, The American Legion, P. O. Bdx 5609, Chicago 80, 111. If you are not a member of the American, Legion and are eligible this is one of the reasons why, "You belong in the Legion." During the Christmas holidays the ladies' auxiliaries of the Legion and the V.F.W. banded together to provide food and clothing for the needy in our community. It was very gratifying to see the size and quality of the boxes of food which were distributed to arproximately twenty-five families. Pearl Cooper, Daisy Smith and Helen Birmingham prepared these boxes. A great deal of time and effort was put into this project, but the results were more than pleasing.

"C.P. can result from faulty development of brain cells before birth, from a physical injury, prolonged high fever, and other causes later in life" according to a brochure issued by the United Cerebral Palsy association of McHenry County. The sad news is that at this time, THERE IS NO CURE, but the palsied CAN be helped. For this reason, it is extremely vital that enough funds be collected for research and to help those already afflicted! And, of course, early detection of the disease may mean early correction! The drive for funds on the local level will be conducted this Sunday, Jan. 14. Many women have volunteered their services to call door-to-door. Won't you be ready with your donation? The area of Park View from Gate 1 to Gate 3 will be canvassed on Saturday afternoon. If you will not be home at this time, your donation may be brought to this reporter's home and a record kept. Your cooperation will be much appreciated. There are Cerebral Palsy Christmas trees at the establishments of Whitey and Bernice's and at McDonald's.
