MS Society
announces new service
Mr. Samuel S. Harnish,
Lancaster County Chapter
Chairman, National Multi-
ple Sclerosis Society an-
nounced today a new
service for families and
other persons who care for
MS patients.
Mr. Harnish noted the
MS Home Care Course is a
joint effort of the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society
and American Red Cross.
He said, “This is a new
program directed to one of
the most crucial areas of
service’’. MS is a
progressive disease of the
central nervous system
with no known cause or
cure. MS ususally strikes
between the ages of 20 and
40 and it continues through
a life-time. The stress
causes physical, emotional
and financial burdens not
only for the patient, but for
the family and community
as well. Extended periods
of remission occur. MS
causes varying degrees of
loss of motor ability and
sensory function.
Families of MS patients
may lack the skills and
confidence required to care
for these patients at home
and may face the additional
strain of placing patients in
nursing homes which can
lead to economic and
emotional suffering for all
concerned.

completion of the course.
Mr. Ritter has scheduled
classes at The American
Red Cross building at 430
W. Orange St., Lancaster,

continuing each Monday
evening until November 16.
Mr. Harnish said ‘“‘We
are tremendously proud of
our association with the
Red Cross in developing
this program to provide
enormous benifits to MS
patients and their families.
MS is a family affair, and
teaching family members
how to care for the
disabled will help our MS
patients lead more mean-
ingful lives despite their
disease.”
To register for this
popular course, phone the
MS Society at 397-1481.
Mr. Harnish, a Mount
Joy resident, was’ formerly
