The an- nounceman: r,l the pair's selec- tion was mide by Andrew A, Klepchlck, Chapter President, after his appointments were ap- proved by the local Board of Managers. During the last three years the American Cancer Society's annual Crusade in Union County has surpassed its goal. Last year the Crusade reached a total of $141,000, several thousand dollars over the goal of $137,750. In a prepared statement Mr, Klepchlck asserted, "We are still short of the amount of money we need in order to give the people of Union County the com- prehensive program of cancer control that they demand. Each year we have raised our goal, and each year costs have risen coupled with more requests for help. We have the know how, the volunteer workers and an im- pressive record of achievement. All we need is more Crusade dollars to finance our work," Mr. Samenfeld, Dean of stu- dents at Newark State College, has been active in many educa- tional and civic organizations.
