One- day United Crusade

according to Richard A. Schaefer, community relations officer.
On Thursday, October 5, all University employees will receive a

Commemorated by Dinner
commitment card enclosed with
their paychecks, providing the
employees an opportunity to
make a " one time" gift or a
monthly payroll deduction.
" Employees are encouraged to
take advantage of the payroll
deduction plan," Mr. Schaefer
states. " The voluntary payroll
deduction plan is a painless way
to participate in the ' fair share'
program. The giver simply auth
orizes a small deduction once a
month and the deduction is made
automatically throughout the
year. This deduction continues
until a request is made for can
cellation or at the termination
of employment. A suggested
fair share' gift is one hour's pay
per month."
United Effort
The campaign is a united ef
fort to fill the void in many lives
by promoting hope through the
services of the 54 United Com
munity Service agencies locat
ed in the Bloomington, Colton,
Crest Forest, Grand Terrace,
Highland, Loma Linda, Rialto,
and San Bernardino areas.
United Crusade activities in
clude family and child care ser
vices, youth guidance and char
acter building programs, and
health and rehabilitation ser
vices to needy persons.
Employees are urged to re
turn the commitment card
whether they participate or not.
" This is the only way we will
know if all employees have been
provided a chance to give," Mr.
Schaefer says. " The United Cru
sade uses your gift where it will
do the most good and it saves
hundreds of thousands of dollars
each year in separate campaign
costs. Each dollar spent through
a volunteer agency brings many
more dollars' worth of service,
because charitable agencies di
rect the efforts of thousands of
volunteer workers."
Community Fair Set
For October 15
University students and fac
ulty members as well as other
members of the community will
participate in the annual Loma
Linda Community Fair, Sun
day, October 15, according to
Mrs. Alien Brandt, fair chair
man.
" One of the main events will
be the1 parade down Anderson
Street," Mrs. Brandt says. " We
welcome individual participa
tion or departmental floats and
other interests such as antique
cars."
Parade entry blanks are
available at Loma Linda Union
Academy and the Loma Linda
Market.
Other events will include an
art show, exhibits, and food
booths.
The fifth annual fair will be
held at the Loma Linda Union
Academy school grounds.

Open Heart Surgery on Greek
Girl Successful; Recovery Routine
A young woman from the ancient port city of Piraeus, on the southeast coast
of Greece, is recovering today from open heart surgery performed last week at Uni
versity Hospital.
Roula Halkidow arrived by air late Tuesday, accompanied by her sister. Diag
nostic studies performed at the
University Hospital confirmed
the serious nature of her ill
ness, caused by a defective mi
tral valve within her heart.
The chief of the heart surg
ery team at the hospital said
her recovery would be routine
" barring some unforseeable cir
cumstance." He described the
operation as a three- hour pro
cedure in which Miss Halki-dow's
mitral valve was repaired
and a large blood clot removed
from the left atrium of her
heart.
The clot had formed as a re
sult of the valve defect, accord
ing to the University surgeon.
He estimated yesterday that
the young woman,, who gave her
age as 22, would be hospitalized
about 10 days.
Miss Halkidow; who speaks
no English, was accompanied
to this country by a sister who
does speak English with some
difficulty. Telephoned arrange
ments for the surgery at Loma
Linda University Hospital were
made by the husband of a third
sister living in Oregon.
The Oregon couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Albert Troxell, are in Lo
ma Linda to be with Miss Hal
kidow at University Hospital.
The open heart surgery team
which operated on Miss Halki
dow is the one which drew in
ternational ^ attention to the Uni
versity by its successful work
ing tour of Asia under the State
Department auspices in 1963.
Since then, patients from sev
eral overseas countries have
successfully sought treatment
at Loma Linda for heart ail
ments that were inoperable by
the less advanced procedures
available in their home coun
tries.
