F. Jenzano. Several factors prompted the decision to offer additional per formances. “First’’, Jenzano said.J’we are still receiving re quest for reservations, indicat ing that there are many people who have deferred their attend ance until after Christmas. Sec ond, large groups representing churches and organizations may have planned to see the inspira tional pageant before Christmas but were unable to secure trans -1 holiday was oVw! W Muhind# the show one week, we feel we are making it possible for ev , eryone who desires to see ‘Star of Bethlehem’ to do so at his , comfort and convenience.” i Deferring the closing date of 1 the Christmas story will not in s terrupt the schedule of special ! school shows Wednesday and , Thursday mornings, the direc tor reminded teachers.

Sundays I REMEMBER ■ •tODAp/ a void ms kusf : {r ,, M I NUhiXER NINETEEN adults throughout the United Spates needing aid from the foundation, contributions to the drive are more important than ever before. In addition to the regular expenses of the founda tion, research on a polio vaccine which got into full swing last year dips deeply into the cof fers of the organization. Although onfy 440,000 child ren received the experimental vaccine last year, the drain on funds was heavy. With 9,000,- 000 to be vaccinated next year it takes little imagination to see the need for additional funds in this drive. Although the effectiveness of the Salk polio vaccine is not known, the hope of a polio-free world is of fered by researchers in the field * In addition to the extra ex penses incurred by the work on the new vaccine, all the other expenses of the foundation con tinue, some at a stepped up pace. The drive is already under way in Burnsville and will be carried to all parts of the doun ty and to the schools. - .
