Grover Rescue Squad To Record Children’s ID ‘Missing children in the U.S. is one of the true horror stories of our time, a personal tragedy that seems to be oc- curring with ever increasing frequency. Child Registry is a new concept meant to help combat that problem. A pro- gram to provide complete identification records for your children is being con- ducted locally by the Grover Rescue Squad. The idea behind Child Registry is to consolidate detailed information about a child, including recent photographs, so that the in- formation is readily available if it should ever be needed. A 24-page Child Registry Handbook is provid- ed and parents can fill out the appropriate pages with cur- rent photographs and health records, along with finger- . prints, dental charts, : physical characteristics : chart, growth progress chart : and even a lock of the child’s . hair. Among many other GRIGG REUNION The Van and Suzanne Grigg reunion will be held Sunday, May 17th, at the Depot from noon until 4 p.m. Picnic lunch will be spread and all relatives and friends are invited to attend. components of the Child Registry are all personal and family records, immuniza- tion records, an authorization for treatment of minor form and an 1.Q. card for medical information. “We support this program 100%’, says Capt. Jeff Cash of the Grover Rescue Squad. A person who fills this out properly can walk into any police station in the country and they will have everything they need to start the wheels in motion to find their child. Personnel representing the Grover Rescue Squad will be calling on homes in their district served to offer the Child Registry Program. This program is in conjunc- tion with the squad’s special fund raiser. Each family that helps out with $10.00 will receive the Child Registry Handbook, an 8 X 10 Family Portrait and a 2 X 3 photograph for each child that appears in the family portrait. The photographs will be taken at the Grover Rescue Squad May 16-17. Ad- ditional photograph dates will be announced at a later date. “Your support in this pro- ject will be greatly ap- preciated,”” said Captain Cash.
