Major improvements have been
made. Fifteen years ago, it was
rare for a child to live long enough
to enter school. Thanks to improv-
ed medical treatment, nearly half
of the CF children born today will
live past the age of 21. One key
element in insuring a longer and
better life is early diagnosis and
treatment.
That is why the Spring Special
Event Campaign has three parts:
broadened public education, im*
proved medical treatment and
research to find a control for the
disease. There are presently 123
CF Medical Centers supported by
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
throughout the United States.
Details of the upcoming special
event will be announced at a later
date. For more information contact
Mrs. Mary Laura Slappey at
495-2218 or 495-2664.

Slappey to Head Drive
Mrs. Mary Laura Slappey has
been named Chairperson of the
Spring Special Event in Electra for
Cystic Fibrosis. The announce-
ment was made by the North-East
Texas Chapter of the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited and
degenerative disease that attacks
the lungs and the digestive system
by producing a thick glue-like
mucus that impairs normal breath-
ing and digestion. An average of
)ve children are born with cystic
fibrosis every day.
There is still no cure for CF, but
research continues in the effort to
find one. In the meantime, this
research serves to improve medi-
cal treatment that prolongs and
enhances the quality of the lives of
cystic fibrosis patients.
