  Dr. Lena Frances Edwards, MD, of Jersey City, N.J..affectionately
named "Doctor of Migrants" by the migrant workers in and around

the College of Steubenville last Sunday.

  "The Doctor of Migrants,"
Dr. Lena Frances Edwards, of
Jersey City, New Jersey, was
the recipient, Sunday evening, of
The College of Steubenville's
highest  non-academic  award,
" The Poverello Medal."
  Rev.   Columba   J. Devlin,
ToOoR, President of the College,
made the presentation at the 19th
annual Founder's Day Dinner,
held in Antonian Hall with more
than 250 members of The College
of Steubenville Founder's Asso-
ciates attending.
  In  honoring  Dr. Edwards,
mother of six children, the
College recognized a woman, who
quietly and without fanfare, has
devoted a major portion of her
adult life to helping others. Char-
ity has been a way of life with
Dr. Edwards and her contribu-
tions of time, professional talent,
effort and personal funds have
been   continuous through the
years.
  The   title "Doctor of Mi-
grants," was affectionately be-
stowed on Dr. Edwards by the
citizens of Hereford, Texas. It
was here, in the Texas Pan-
handle, that Dr. Edwards founded
a maternity clinic for itinerant
farm workers who annually, and
by the thousands migrate to the
area to work at harvesting the
crops. Dr. Edwards treated and
served the families of these poor-
ly paid workers for five years
until a heart ailment cut short
this outstanding portion of her
career. Fully recovered, Dr. Ed-
wards returned to the Staff of
Margaret Hague Hospital in Jer-
sey City, where she continues to
serve the community in many
charitable ventures.
   "Speaking," she said, "what is
 in my heart and not what some
 one may wish me to say" Dr.
 Edwards talked on poverty, the
 love of God and the love of one's
 neighbor. These three things have
 provided the guide lines for Dr.
 Edwards in her many charitable
 efforts.
   The dinner program began with
 the invocation by Very Rev. Kevin
 R. Keelan, T.O.R., Executive
 /ice President of the College.


Arthur J. Kobacker, Chairman
of the College Board of Advisors
was Toastmaster and Rev. Deme-
trius F. Schenk, T.O.R.,, pre-
sented  Dr. Edwards for the
award. Rev. Columba J. Devlin,
T.O.R., Vice President of the
College presented the medal and
Rev. Philip A. Clarke, T.O.R.,
Vice President for Development
pronounced the benediction.
  Following the dinner an infor-
mal reception was held in An-
tonian Lounge where Dr. Edwards
met and talked with members of
the Founder's group.

ANNUAL CLOTHING DRIVE  Warning Systems

  The  annual drive for used
clothing in good condition is being
conducted through the schools.
  Warm    clothing for  local
children of all sizes is needed
and may be left at any grade
school or the Wintersville Village
Building at 221 Leonard Ave.


  In the last few weeks, I, as
Chief, have had several inquires
about Home or Household Fire
Warning Systems.
  This standard is intended to
help  provide reasonable fire
safety for persons in one and two
family dwellings. "Reasonable
Fire Safety" can be produced
through a four-point program.
  1. Minimizing fire hazards
  2. Sleeping with bedroom doors
closed
  3. Having and practicing an
escape plan
  4. Providing a fire warning
system
  This standard covers the re-
quirements of a fire warning
system for the home.
  There are two extremes of fire
for which the household fire
warning system must provide
protection. One is the hot fire
which produces mostly heat and
little smoke, the other is the
smoldering fire which produces
little heat but a great deal of
smoke; both can produce toxic
gases.
  Most people are not aware of
the speed with which a hot fire
can progress within a building.
