MEMORIAL FUND WILL BE GIFT TO CHILDREN'S POOL

To honor the memory of their friend, Ralph Bigley, high school youth who died recently as a result of an automobile crash, a group of young people are organizing to raise a donation for the crippled children's pool which will be called the Ralph Bigley memorial fund.
The students met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Enders, 4620 Oregon st., for memorial services and prayer and decided at that time to do something fitting in memory of their chum. The fund will be raised by solicitations from friends and neighbors and will be turned over to the campaign fund, it was announced.
The movement will mark one of the first of younger people of San Diego to answer the appeal of the crippled children. The following will take active parts in raising the fund: Robert Officer, Louise Officer, John Enders, Barbara Enders, Stanley Hayden, Everett Fears, Jack Wind, Robert McPherson, Jack Trousdale, Dan MacGregor, Alice Newberry, Helen Peacock, Horace Ackterman, Edith Smith, Margaret Smith and John Huff.
