plea lo the younger element ofths'
Village to support the drive for

To the children ot Preeport who
are both of high, school age afld
grammar school age, I should like to
say that it is a wonderful thing to
be healthy and well, and sometimes
those of us who are, lose sight of
the tact and forget that there are
other children whose lives haws
been blighted by Illness or disease
and who, unless they -are given en­couragement
and help by others,
are doomed to a life 61 mlaei^, lone­liness
and neglect.
