The Marion Star, Nicole fund- From Page One "THE. raised. Thus far, area residents have responded to the campaign with a spirit warranting Mayor Ron Malone's description of Marion as "a caring community when a child is in need of support." Malone has proclaimed Saturday as "Nicole Day." Bob Braidwood, chairman of the campaign, said area restuarants and lounges will participate in the Saturday fund drive. Patrons need only ask their waitresses how they can participate. An indoor car wash will be operated in a competition to see who can raise the most money by area high school cheerleaders at Bennett Chevrolet.

Also, members of Marion Jaycees and other local organizations will hold a "road block" at various intersections to collect donations. Coupons for dining at local restaurants will be given to donors. Braidwood sees no problem with reaching the $10,000 goal. "We're almost one-third of the way there. Everyone's been really fantastic about giving.

Hopefully after this weekend we will reach our goal and send the family off with no financial worry at all," he said, calrifying that he refers to "financial worry" because "we can never take away the worry of the chairman said that even the cost of advertising the fund via ads and posters has been donated. He has been impressed with the number of people calling the Jaycees office suggesting ideas for raising money. "I don't think six months would be enough time to use all the ideas we've been given," he said. "You would have thought this time of year most organiziations and individuals would be all tapped out. Everyone's hitting them for money.

When we first started, I really got depressed. I didn't think there was anyway we could do it because we just didn't have enough time," Braidwood said. He attributes the community's generous response, in part, to the fact that Nicole is a local girl and they know where the money is going. "With lots of things you donate to you never see the acutal person your're helping. Sometimes you wonder how much is tied up in administrative costs.

All the money is this fund is going to the family," he said. He also credits parents with the community's stong spirit of giving. "I think anybody has a healthy child is thankful. They feel for someone whose child is ill. And they know finances can really put a stop to things," he said.

That's how Braidwood became chairman. As he sipped that cup of coffee with friends and heard about that 6-year-old little girl, "it just kind of got to me. I have one (6-year-old daughter), too." As a pharmacist at Marion General Hospital, Braidwood said "seeing little kids hurting bothers me quite a bit." He described Nicole as a shy, longhaired girl, who wants to run and play as much as any active 6-year-old, but can't. "If she tries to run around, she just gets tired and winded. To see somebody like that kind of breaks your heart.

She has just the cutest smile you'd ever want to see," he said. Braidwood realized he could do little as an individual, but "as a group you can get things accomplished." He said for the Jaycees the experience has been "a high. We can't do enough, I guess you could say." At national conventions, the Marion Jaycees had heard of other chapters doing this kind of service. "But we had just never really heard of anyone like that locally. We thought they were just hype stories to build us up as we went back to our own communities.

Sud- NICOLE FUND" $10,000 GOAL $9,000 $8,000 $7,000 $6,000 $5,000 $4,000 $3,000 $2,000 $1,000 denly, we were sitting there with someone who really needed our help," he said. Nicole's family reacted to the Jaycees' offer with shock. "They just couldn't believe someone would ask to help them without wanting something in return," he said, adding that the family had sought help from various agencies in vain. In some cases, they would have had to liquidate their possessions, including their home. The Marion Jaycees have contacted their San Franciscan counterpart about possible discount coupons for meals, motel and bus fares for the family while staying in California.

Also, the San Francisco Jaycees can assist the family in other ways since they are "flying to a place where they won't know anybody." The local group. has contacted airlines for information on discounts. As for the surgery, Braidwood said so far it looks like the family's insurance company will cover the hospital costs. If not, Braidwood said the hospital will not deny the operation but that would be one more bill hanging over the family that he hopes they won't have to worry about. Braidwood said if the family has to foot the bill, or if the Jaycees don't achieve the $10,000 goal Saturday, "We'll go again."

EDITOR'S NOTE--This is another in a series of stories marking Winter Safety Week, which runs through Saturday. When that bitter cold winter weather hits, some simple precautions can help protect you from the painful and sometimes permanently damaging effects of frostbite, advises Dr. David L.

Jackson, director of the Ohio Department of Health. Frostbite usually involves the extremities since they are often the least insulated parts of the body and are in areas where circulation is poorest. The ear tips, nose, cheek, chin, fingers and toes are the most likely parts of the body to be frostbitten. To prevent frostbite, keep the skin protected from the cold and wind by wearing warm windproof clothing. Be sure clothes and shoes are loose en enough to allow blood to circulate freely.

Restricted 'circulation, fatigue, poor nutrition, alcohol use, smoking and contact with metal when out in the cold can all contribute to frostbite. Frostbite varies in severity from frostnip to deep frostbite depending on the duration of exposure, temperature to which the skin is exposed and wind speed. During frostnip, the skin turns white and may be slightly numb. Usually, no pain is felt in this stage. Superficial Thursday, December 6, 1984 3 sentenced Daniel Ray McEntire, 30, 195 Pearl St.

On Thursday President Reagan proposed to cut federal spending by reducing or eliminating a large number of existing government programs, and lowering the pay of civilian federal employees by 5 percent. frostbite involves the skin and tissues just beneath it. The skin appears white, waxy and firm although the tissue beneath it remains soft.

Deep frostbite involves skin, tissue, muscle and bone. Frostnip can usually be reversed without permanent damage. Firm, steady pressure from a warm hand, blowing hot breath or holding frostnipped fingers against the body will help rewarm them. Don't rub the area, apply snow or plunge into very hot or cold water. If remaining in cold, put additional covering over the skin to prevent recurrence.

Persons suffering from superficial frostbite should in from the cold and rewarm affected parts of the body. Stinging, burning pain and superficial blisters may occur. The area may become permanently red and extremely sensitive if again exposed to the cold. Victims of deep frostbite must receive prompt medical attention. The exposed are should be handled gently and protected while the victim is transported to a medical facility.

If treatment will be delayed for more than an hour, injured extremities should be immersed in water between 100 and 105 degrees. The container should be large enough that the effected area does not touch the sides of bottom. Deep frostbite will likely cause permanent damage.
