Volunteers Sought
For Local MD Drive
An appeal to residents of Farm-
ers Branch-Carrollton in the ring-
ing of doorbells in the 1965 March
for Muscular Dystrophy was is-
sued today by Mrs. Jean Odom,
area chairman of the Muscular
Dystrophy annual drive.
The nationwide drive seeks
funds to support research into the
mysterious disease for which
there is, as yet, no known cause
or cure. MD afflicts more than
200,000 Americans, more than
two-thirds of them children. The
majority of the latter will not
grow to maturity unless a cure is
found.
Apealing for volunteers to join
the house-to-house drive Novem-
ber 19, 20, 21, Mrs. Odom aid, “I
know that the good people of this
area will want to help these
stricken people by volunteering a
few hours of their time for the
march. Increased research holds
the solution to this tragic disease,
and it calls for a great deal of
money. MDAA is depending on the
help of public-spirited Americans
to raise these funds.”
Those wishing to volunteer are
asked to contact Jean Odom at
CH 7-3715.
