Society; that any child would be treated at St. Jude's Hospital
in Memphis, Tennessee, at no charge, and pointed out that ALSAC
treats the disease, whereas the Leukemia Society researches the
causes, but that St. Jude's. Hospital. also has a research lab-
oratory for the study of Leukemia and related blood diseases.

cial statements relating to the drives in Largo, St. Petersburg
and Tampa. Mr. Kennedy seconded the motion which was approved
unanimously.
Mr. Coggan wished that his statement be made a matter of record,
that the Board realizes the difficulties, but hoped that ALSAC
and the Leukemia Society could make arrangements for a combined
drive in the future.

sented which requested the addition of a tag day on April 26
at Cleveland Plaza Shopping Center. It was pointed out that
this amendment had been verbally approved previously, by a
quorum of the Board. Mr. Kennedy moved to confirm the verbal
approval of the amendment of the application of the American
Cancer Society. Rev. Harris seconded the motion which carried
unanimously.
