On the subject of the legislature, however, I must give a vote of thanks to our Representative, Royal T. Harward. Mr. Harward has done everything he could for this county during this session and succeeded in all but one task he set out to accomplish when asked. Last week Lee Strong and the administrator of the Milford hospital (I can't spell his name), went and asked Mr. Harward for help in stopping a bill which would have materially increased the cost of operation of these hospitals while adding nothing to the quality of treatment the patients receive. These small hospitals are all ready staggering under the burden of having to carry unwanted and uneeded consultants who syphon away money while adding nothing to the patient's care. This proposed bit of law would have add to this burden. When apprised of the situation, Representative Harward got busy and found the necessary votes which consigned the bill to the round file. For the past two or three months the advertising committee has been working on the budget for the coming season and here is what it looks like. COLOR COUNTRY Frank Jensen 1,000.00 filming 2.

They work extremely hard raise money for the March of Dimes (MOD) fight to prevent birth defects, and they work equally hard on the community service and education programs needed to win that SO w to W1 4 fight. For example, Teen Age Program (TAP) volunteers for the March of Dimes brought the good old summertime to handicapped children in Portsmouth, Va., this year. TAPs in this southern city boosted a recreational project praised by Portsmouth Health Department and civic organTheir ization unanimous verdict was that TAPs reached the children in a way that adults could not. The Portsmouth teen-age- rs devoted the summer holidays to making summer as much fun for physically handicapped children as it is for boys and girls enjoying normal health. Each TAP became a "buddy" to a particular youngster. They drove the children to and from the city park, where games and arts and crafts classes were set up for them. They played checkers,s, catch-ba- ll read games, held stories and helped their small charges romp through other specially planned activities. The Portsmouth project was only one outlet for the thousands of March of Dimes TAPs who serve communities across In the nation year-roun- d. cities, towns and rural centers they help to support the March of Dimes in its nationwide program to prevent birth defects.

Despite our nation's excellent health standards, a quarter of a million infants are born each year with physical or mental defects. As future have parents, shown their concern for preventing these tragedies. Community education ranks high with TAPs. Evidence of this is the growing attendance at Young Adult Conferences on Birth Defects sponsored during the year by the March of Dimes. The organization's first national conference held at Brig-haYoung University, Provo, Utah, drew more than 300 TAP representatives from 48 states as well as delegates from and 28 youth organizations 17 adult organizations. In October, the fourth annual Young Adult Conference on Birth Defect at Sargent College of Allieu F ofessionals at Boston Unive.iity, had a record attendance of 1,000 young people.
