SHRINERS RECYCLE CANS TO HELP CRIPPLED KIDS

Members of the Klown unit of the Shriner's Kazim Temple at 628 Campbell Ave. are recycling aluminum cans to help purchase corrective shoes and footware for patients at the Crippled Children's Hospital in Greenville, S.C.

The money earned from recycling aluminum is designated for a special "Sneaker Fund" with a check being sent periodically to the hospital, which is affiliated with the Shriner's.

The Shriners have been recycling for about three years at the Reynolds Aluminum Recycling center near Happy's Flea Market, and to date have earned about $2,000.

For more information on the program, contact the Kazim Temple at 343-9838.
