Two Groups Back Plan for Meigs County Mentally Retarded School

Middleport organizations pledge support for a Meigs County Mental Health Association project to establish a school for mentally retarded children. The Middleport Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the Feeney Bennett Post 128, American Legion, join the effort with a church drive planned October 16 led by Rev. Donald Boone. An annual $2 dues fund will aid organizing costs, with a $2,000 goal. Meigs County currently lacks such a school among Ohio’s 88 counties, and officials note state and federal funds are available if the community shows interest.
