     TRIBUTE TO 42 YEARS OF SERVICE BY THE TOLEDO LEGAL AID SOCIETY

                                 ______


                           HON. MARCY KAPTUR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 2, 1994

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, on February 4 the Toledo Legal Aid Society 
will celebrate 42 years of service to our community. I would like to 
take this opportunity to thank all the dedicated men and women whose 
work over the years has made a real contribution to improving the lives 
of thousands of northwest Ohioans.
  For over four decades, the Toledo Legal Aid Society has provided free 
legal services to low-income and elderly residents in the Greater 
Toledo area. In a community where approximately 100,000 people live at 
or below the poverty line, the Toledo Legal Aid Society provides vital 
legal services to individuals who otherwise would be denied fair legal 
representation.
  I would also like to recognize the General Mills Corp. for providing 
the Toledo Legal Aid Society with a grant of $14,280 to continue its 
excellent work; and congratulate David A. Ward for being awarded the 
coveted Distinguished Service to Justice Award for legal service to the 
indigent community.
  On behalf of all the residents of northwest Ohio I would like to 
thank the volunteers, financial backers, and licensed attorneys of the 
Toledo Legal Aid Society who over the years have made our community a 
more just place in which to live.
