Clare Rotary Club
Assists Financing Of
Children's? Glasses
The Children's Fuud|of Michigan,
which was established hn 1929 for a
period of twenty-five years, will have
liquidated itself in 195 _v In order to
extend itself until that* time it has
been found' necessary to pro-rate some'
of its services over the state. As- a'
result the furnishing* of "-glasses for indigent children has fallen under this
classification. Clare county is limited
to three pairs of glasseji per month.
Up until February 1950 this has
proved sufficient. But dtle to increased
activity in vision testing in the school
by the Health Department Nurse, Mrs.
Kathryn Freeman, and)' the teachers,
it was necessary to provide seven
pairs, in February. This was four
above the quota-
The Rotary Club of Olare has set up
a fund to assist in this work. The
four extra pairs of glapes -were paid
for out of this fuhd, forf February, and
more can be supplied 'ifa» the future—
within limits, of cours^
"The Health Department is especially grateful to the Rotary Club for its
generosity in this workf* and wishes to
commend the olub for being so cooperative in such a worthwhile project,"
