The expectant looking faces of thousands of children from crowd- ed areas of New York city will turn to ones of disappointment, as homes for all the Fresh Air children will not be found. This is a n establish- ed fact. Can YOU spare the dis- appointment of one of these child- ren? The time for the decision is NOW. This community is a \Friend- ly Town\ in the records of the Her- ald-Tribune Fresh Air Fund. It is said: \Get the facts before the peo- ple, and they will respond.\ The fact is that these are underprivUeged children who are given a thorough doctor's physical and nurse's exam- ination prior to their 'journey to the country. Their need is checked by cooperating New York city service agencies. Medical and travel expenses are defrayed by the Fresh Air Fund. The deadline is rapidly approaching. All requests must be in the mail ten \days prior to the arrival of the chil- dren. Arrival date for this year's first group of children is July 11. The boys and girls will come by train and be picked up in Altamont. The quota as set by the local Ki- wanis club committee is 10 child- ren for the July 11-25 period, and 10 children for the August 1-15 period. Up.to this 'tittle about six requests have been received. While you are making your decision, remember that a tremendous service to youth is be- ing given by those participating in the program. • If you have the desire and the space, ACT NOW!
