WILL YOU HEL P ME Seems to refl ect in the eyes at this foun dling as the Cru sade of Mercy gets underway

I t comb in es in to a single campa ign the appeals for financial help from 153 hea Ith reI igious and we lfare agenc ies serving the Cook County Area

To accomp lish its mission the Crushy

sade must raise $15357752 Th is quota

includes $11259556 for the Community Fund and its 153 agencies $3 006 1 for the Red Cross $772000 for campaign

costs and $320000 for estimated colshy

lection losses Where Does the Money Go

The money collected through the

Crusade of lercy is sufficient to cover only a portion of the total operating cost of each of the 153 agencies and

the ned Cross Ea ch participating a gency must raise

as much as it can through its own driv fees for services and the cl-ar ity of

their backers The difference betwe en this amount and the amount needed to operate is supplied by the Crusade of

VITUL LO ST RESSES NE ED FOR CHEST X-RAY

Dr Pat S Vitullo Chi e f Surgeon for the Chicago Police Department recently encouraged members of the deshy

thems~ves and their families against tushyberculosis

In making this

statement Im con- Vitullo

conc erned with the welfare a nd health of all police officers I believe it is in their best interests to take these tests

annually Dr Vitullo said

Pointing ont that school teach ers are required by state law to submit to such tests once a year Dr Vitnllo continued

At the present time the on ly instance

where police officers are required to submit to chest x-ray examinations is as part of our medical examination when they join the departmen t However I would like every member to make it a habit to have 3uch a test once a year

Chest x-rays are avai lable without

charge at mobile x-ray units at various

locations listed in the daily newspapers

They may also be obtained at the City Hal x-ray unit and the five MTS clinics

After the x-ray is takena report will be mailed to the persons home He

should forward the report to the ~1edical

Division Central Police Headquarters 1104 S Wabash Ave All reports will be kept on file at the medical headquarters

Pointing out that the presence of tuberculosis will not cause a member to lose his job Dr Vitu1l0 stressed that peopl e in all walks of life s llbmit

to annual medical checkups and po lice officers should join in this intelligent action

Crusade (cont inued fro m Page 1)

How Much Must We Give

l3ecause the Crusade of ~lercy is financed by entirely voluntary gifts the more a person can contribute the more assistance can be rendered by

member agencies to the citys needy Therefore each member of the departshy

ment is asked to give generously JTowshyever only the individual police officer can honestly decide how much he can afford The po I ice departmen t has set no quota fol itself or for its members

When asked what he thought each police officer should contribute Supt Wilson replied This is a most worthy

cause and I urge each member of the

department to help as best he ca n The spirit of giving lies in the

heart he continued and I do not

want any member of this department to

feel he is being compelled to contribute I sincere ly hope that what an officer gives is a manifestation of his tllle

feel ings Gut I set no quota nor sanction

one Giving is chari ty and true chari ty

is never clothed with duress
