EARL S. VVEBB, a University Associate and retired San Bernardino
businessman, displays a gourd " birdhouse." Mr. Webb is underwrit
ing a project to sell 10,000 gourd seed packets to benefit the Handi
capped Children's Clinic which is sponsored by Loma Linda Uni
versity.
Local Cerebral Palsy Children
To Benefit from Gourd Sales
Proceeds from nearly 1,000 gourds and 10,000 gourd seed packets
will go to help cerebral palsy victims at the Handicapped Children's
Clinic which is operated by Loma Linda University and partially
financed by United Community Services, San Bernardino.
Earl S. Webb, a University
Associate and retired San Ber
nardino businessman who is a
member of the Cerebral Palsy
Association board, raises the
gourds at his home. He hopes to
raise up to $ 10,000 to fight cere
bral palsy by selling packets of
seeds. The dumbbell shaped
gourds with one end three or
four times bigger than the
other, make excellent bird
houses, according to Mr. Webb.
About 1,000 gourds are being
sold locally to help swell the
fund. Mr. Webb intends to en
list the aid of women's organiza
tions, church organizations, Boy
Scout troops, and other groups
to help sell them.
The seed sales and money will
be handled by Security First
National Bank in Loma Linda.
To get seeds, purchasers may
send their check or money order
for $ 1 or more to Handicapped
Children's Clinic. P. O. Box 35.
Loma Linda, California 92354.
Organizations wishing to help
in the sale of the gourds should
write to the same address.
