The Co- ordinator for Public Educa- Elaine Townshend Named woman of the Year Elaine ownshend was guest of honor at a morning coffee party held at the home of Mrs. Florence Corrie, of Clinton on June 10. Miss Townshend was named "Citizen of the Year". The Sarah Hale Chapter confers this honor periodically, and since this is the Year of the Disabled, it was felt that no one deserves this honor more than Elaine Townshend. Mrs. Frank Fingland presented Miss Townshend with an engrav- ed plaque. In her remarks Mrs. Fingland noted that Elaine is the founder of ALPHA, the Awareness League of Physically Handicapped Adults. She has given freely of her time in speaking to many organizations to make the public aware of the pro- blems of the handicapped. Mrs. Fingland continued that Miss Townshend has overcome many problems. Born without arms, she drives her own car (adapted for foot control), keeps her own apartment and writes a weekly column in the Clinton News -Record. In her reply Miss Townshend asked that the public be made more aware of the changes necessary in public buildings to make them accessible to the han- dicapped - ramps, enlarged lavatories, heavy doors, high shelves and counters are all concerns. TV rentals rise The Hospital Auxiliary TV Committee reports that a new contract with Sterivi- sion has made necessary an increase in the daily rental rate for patients' television sets from the present $1.75 to $1.90 per day. However, the new sets will be larger than those now in use. The price of ear -pieces will also rise to $1.25. These ear pieces become the property of the patient and patients can bring theirown ear pieces when they enter hospital. The TV committee regrets the rise in price, but as the cost of most things continues to rise, this necessary. increase is Miss Townshend conclud- ed by saying that she was happy to accept the plaque on behalf of all handicapped people. tion and Awareness, Wendy Hines, offered to come to speak to our Club. This letter was filed for further con- sideration in September.
