Firemen Plan Fun Festival To Raise Funds For Alarm System
At a Volunteer Association meeting plans were finalized for a bingo fundraiser at the Rouss tonight at 8 30 to aid the general fire system. Fire Chief Barr said an outdoor festival modeled after the Lions Club event will seek funds for equipment and an improved alarm signal system for Winchester. The system would quickly show which section of town sent the alarm, allowing direct response. Firemen have long sought funds. Council discussions have shown interest but no available funds yet.

Treatment of Paralysis Long Used In Cleveland
Dr J A Toomey reported at the American Academy of Pediatrics that City Hospital has used a treatment for infantile paralysis for over 20 years. The approach actively moves paralyzed muscles rather than immobilizing them with splints, shortening hospital stay and often curing patients by the end of the three week quarantine period with no added scoliosis or muscle lengthening.
