Community Iron Lung Fund Nears Goal In Princeton Drive
The Princeton iron lung campaign has more than 1400 dollars raised with about 500 dollars still needed to finance the respirator and resuscitator. Contributions may be given to Dr. L J Pace or treasurer Phillip Sasser. An upcoming dance by the Junior Woman's Club and Lions Club aims to add at least 100 dollars as returns continue to come in. The fund will place the equipment for use in Princeton and nearby communities once purchased. An executive committee will set regulations for safe keeping. The drive now extends into local schools with a closing date of November 17 set.
