Drive on Epilepsy Opens Here "Although epilepsy afflicts more people than cancer, tuberculosis, cerebral palsy or a host of other 'respectable' ills, lack of knowledge, fear and superstition have made it an almost unmentionable disorder." That was the statement today of Robert Pitcher, president of the Orange County Epilepsy Society, as he announced his group's July campaign to provide facts about the disease which afflicts about 1 in every 100 Americans. In urging support of the Society's campaign, Pitcher pointed out that the major goals of the drive are education of the public in regard to epilepsy and the raising of the vitally needed funds to maintain the Society's extensive program of help, rehabilitation and research. "Contrasted with the strides in medical treatment of epilepsy in the past 25 years, it seems that little progress has been made in restoring to the epileptic those human rights which should be his natural heritage.

"Contrasted with the strides in medical treatment of epilepsy in the past 25 years, it seems that little progress has been made in restoring to the epileptic those human rights which should be his natural heritage. Far too many people still regard the illness as an incurable horror, though if pressed, they could not say why they have this opinion." Pitcher said. He cited the fact that although Department of Employment records show epileptics acquire superior on-the-job safety records, they are seldom hired if they admit their affliction. If they conceal evidence of epilepsy and later reveal their common neurological disorder, they are usually discharged. Services to epileptics provided by the Orange County Epilepsy Society include referral services to sources of medical, social, psychological and vocational aid and counseling for those afflicted and their families.

Opening of a new $500,000 home office located opposite the Broadway Shopping Center in Anaheim, an increase in new accounts, and Orange County's rapid expansion were credited as important factors in Keystone's growth, according to Caspers. He predicted a "bright savings picture for the balance of this year."

If you're uncertain about what lies ahead, take a good look at the white line. It represents America's past production rate and economists' estimates of future production, with the peaks and valleys smoothed out. Over the long pull the curve keeps rising. In fact, American production more than doubles every 20 years. You can expect even faster growth during the Sixties. Because at the present rate, the $12 billion a year we're spending on research and development may well reach $22 billion by 1971. The outpouring of new products and processes will be in proportion. Research is the fountainhead of progress. Ready now are such innovations as Anaheim United Fund Anaheim-Western nities United Fund gn for this fall, it was eed today.
