An altered plan is proposed to raise funds for the Helping Hand School for mentally handicapped children in LaGrange Park after a November house to house march was cancelled. Mrs. Gene F. Anderson of Brookfield leads the association and says new fundraising methods are being formed. Hinsdale’s Taalkeus Blank offers 600 tickets for Guys and Dolls sponsorship at Brush Hill Music Theatre, August 25. Tickets through Mrs. Anderson or Mrs. Webster. Productions are not for profit with no paid performers. The school serves trainable mentally handicapped students from several nearby suburbs and is entirely funded by civic, church, patriotic, social groups and private gifts led by Robert S. Brewer.
