March of Dimes con tributions made this month will help in the effort to prevent crippling birth defects, he pre dicts. Birth defects cripple more children in this country every year than any other cause ex cept accidents, Mr. O’Conner explained. Now for the first time in his tory a national voluntary or ganization is attempting to solve the mystery of why some child ren are born with a deformity . . . why 250,000 American children are born each year with significant birth defects . . . why a quarter-of-a-million families experience the heartbreak of a child that is different, a child that will not be able to run and play as other children do. Substantial funds have been awarded by The National Foun dation to medical scientists for research to find the answers as scientists found the preven tive for paralytic polio. Polio re search has already led into this new area. Also in its attempt to find the answers, The National Founda tion, with March of dimes funds, has established birth defects clinical study centers at Child ren's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, and at Vanderbilt University Hospital, Nashville, Tennessee during the past year. Another center is being established at the University of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A number of county chapters of The Foundation have had suf ficient funds, after meeting polio obligations, to begin a patient aid program for children afflic ted with open skull, open spine or water on the brain. “We hope Georgians will give so generously to the 1961 New March of Dimes that many local chapters will have sufficient funds to extend aid not only to children under 19 with birth defects, but also to those in that age group with crippling arthri tis”, said Jack Minter, Georgia’s 1961 March of Dimes chairman. SELLING TIMBER Landowners should always make plans for future timber crops before making a timber sale, urges Dorsey Dyer, head of the Extension forestry depart ment at the University of Ge orgia. Enough trees should be left on the land to keep the area in continuous production. Also important in making a tim ber sale is measuring the crop to be sold and having a written agreement between the buyer and seller, he says.

Donations to the New March of Dimes Will Help Prevent Crippling Diseases Millions of families throughout the United States this month have re ceived March of Dimes “mailers.” If the millions on the receiv ing end of this gigantic mail operation coast-to-coast and in Hawaii and Alaska have not already done so, now is the time to return the familiar en velope with a donation to the county March of Dimes chap ter, local leaders urged this week. The world’s largest vol untary health organization is seeking to prevent crippling diseases, with its sights set at birth defects and arthritis and at continued work in polio. These mailers, which repro duce the campaign theme, “Prevent Crippling Diseases— Please Say Yes to the New March of Dimes,” were ad dressed in great part by selfless volunteers who, by combing through telephone and other directories, were able to “spot” just about every family in their county. Addresses of new homes, not included in tele phone books, were obtained by these volunteers from real es tate boards, tax lists, from other official records, and from chambers of commerce. Hopefully, each of the 44 million families in the United States will have an opportun ity to help prevent crippling diseases by contributing to the March of Dimes between now and Jan. 31. > The blue mailer contains an envelope with a pocket for a March of Dimes contribution by check or cash and with space for the donor’s name and ad dress. A brief message ad dressed to “Dear Neighbor” explains the expanded program of The National Foundation, and elsewhere on the mailer a few health figures are given— for example, that birth de fects cripple one out of every 16 babies in the United States; that arthritis and rheumatism afflict 11 million Americans; and that polio can still strike down any one of more than 85 million unvaccinated persons in the country. County chapter officials say New Telephone Directory to Be Produced A new telephone directory for the Brantley Telephone Company, Inc., will be produced in the next few weeks. The new telephone directory will be produced by The Brantley Enterprise. Anyone desiring to advertise in the new directory is requested to contact the Enter prise concerning space for busi ness messages to the phone-us ing public. The advertisements will run for at least a year at a flat annual price. In other words, your ad vertisement will stand in the telephone directory for one year at one price for the entire year. The list of phone subscribers has greatly increased during the past year and will still further increase during the coming months as the telephone expan sion program is carried out. Present plans call for more than 200 new phones to be in stalled during the next six to twelve months. This means that advertisers will gain extra cov erage but prices for advertise ments have not been increased over 1959. FROM RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT . . .

Mailers are to be returned this month to local chapters of The National Foundation to support expanded health program in birth defects and arthritis, and con tinued work in polio.
