EMBLEM CU B
ACTIVITIES
Ontario Emblem Club <192
met recently at the BPOE
Lodge Hall *1690 for their
regular business meeting and
special memorial services of
deceased Emblem Club sis-
ters. Wilma Anderson and
Beatrice Owings.
The Emblem Club pre-
pared and served the father
daughter banquet in No
vember at the Elks Lodge.
They will also serve the noon
luncheon at the Armory, to
all visiting Elks and local
Elks, who will be attending
the mid-winter convention
January 23. 1975. Ontario
will be the host lodge for this
event.
The next meeting will be
the social meeting for the
month. Everyone will work
on the crocheted hat project.
The Kidney Association of
Oregon has announced that
"Your Gift Means Life" is
the theme
for the sixth
annual statewide fund-rai
sing drive just launched, to
obtain $250.000 in public
donations. The money will be
used during 1975 to continue
the life-saving program for 52
KAO patients throughout the
state now on artificial kidnev
machines, and to expand the
program to add new patients.
The theme tells drama
tically that donations to KAO
by individuals and organiza
tions actually provide the
means for patients to con
tinue a productive life. It also
points out KAO's vital need
for money to be able to admit
new patients.
Chuck Foster, executive
director of the Kidney Asso
ciation. explained how people
can put this into practice. He
said. “It costs $12 to provide
one day of life for a KAO
patient. When an individual
sends us a $12 check, he is
giving one day of life. In
addition." he pointed out.
"thousands of people have
sent us checks equal to
several days of life."
Many people, faced with
death because of kidnev
failure and the extremely
high cost of care, depend on
KAO to assist them finan
cially. In the first few months
of care. KAO
provides
patients with artificial kidney
machines, training and medi
cal supplies. Then, the
Kidney Association continues
its help on an on-going basis
year after year, by providing
medical supplies.
KAO's function is to raise
funds for continuing patient
treatment, allowing these
people to work, raise their
families and be useful, pro
ductive people.

FirstLoan is the perfect

you can pay the entire loan
off ahead of schedule and
really save money.
That’s because FirstLoan
is a simple interest consumer
loan. So, you are charged
interest only on the amount
you actually owe. Only for as
long as you owe it. And if you
make a late payment, there’s
no penalty charge. You
simply pay a little more

adequate. “We have suf

Inflation has cut deeply
into highway finances, he
added, and will reduce to
some degree the amount of

when safety conditions re
