Mrs. Raley noted that $473 has been sent to the club in checks and cash by mail from people wanting to help the Bain family. The Raleigh club is a chartered member of the National Organization for Mo thers of Twins. It was formed here in Raleigh in 1975 and has members from all over the eastern part of the state.

He set out the following as the credo of OIC and said that the new policy would greatly enhance its image: "Everything that OIC does aho'Ud reflect its basic philo sophy. We can state this philosof^y in several points including Dr. (Leon S.)
