National Foundation Seeks 400 Volunteers For Drive

Four hundred men and women volunteers are needed in southwest Columbus to assist in the Mar. 20 campaign of the Central Ohio Chapter of the National Nephrosis Foundation, Inc., according to an announcement by Mrs. Harry C. Sharp, 184 S. Yearling-rd, president.

Volunteers should write to Mrs. Sharp or Mrs. Stanley Klein, 2666 Brentwood-rd, chairman of the campaign. The southwest district chairman is Mrs. William E. Williams, 402 S. Terrace-av.

Other workers in this area include area chairmen Mrs. Ralph Primmer, 147 S. Eureka-av, Mrs. Guy R. Taylor, jr., 886 VanDerberg-pl, Mrs. Lewis Trout, 796 Richardson and Mrs. Joseph Kennedy, 272 S. Terrace-av.

Kidney disorders are among the greatest causes of death in the United States. Childhood nephrosis alone, one of the most common chronic disorders among children, kills one-half of all its victims. And this death rate will continue high until medical science solves the many mysteries of such ailments.

"It is our aim," Mrs. Sharp said, "to place a message of utmost importance into the hands of every family in southwest Columbus, and we need the help of every public-spirited citizen for as little or as much time as he or she can spare.

"Research is needed urgently until cures have been found. Our goal this year is $10,000, and with 400 volunteers to join our members, we are confident of success."
