Applies To
Disabilities
Social Security District Man
ager Joseph R. Murphy stated
today that in day-to-day op
erations of the Atlanta office,
he and fellow employees still
find area residents who do not
realize that now thev may
qualifv at anv age for social
security disability cash bene
fits.
Mr. Murphy explained that
under the new law signed bv
the President on September 13,
1960, workers who became to
tally disabled under 65 years
of age and certain of their de
pendents may be paid monthly
cash disability benefits. Under
the old law. no disability bene
fits were payable if the work
er was under age 50.
To qualify for these benefits.
Mr. Murphy said, the disabled
worker must meet two condi
tions: (1) have social security
credit for at least 5 years out
of the 10 years just before he
became disabled and (2) have
a severe and long lasting disa
bility which keeps him from do
ing any substantial work.
Monthly disability benefits
are computed on the same ba
sis as retirement benefits at

Business education must do
more to stimulate creativity and
imagination, in the view of Dr.
Carl H. Madden, dean of the
College of Business Admini
stration at Lehigh University.
As he sees it, at the beginning
of a man’s business career “the
primary emphasis should be on
liberal education and broad
fundamentals of economic and
corporate management.”

This likeness of Linda Breese appears on millions of posters and coin collectors
Linda Gail Breese, a pic
torial and high-spirited
young lady of four, who
lives in Columbus, Ohio,
was named this week as the
1961 New March of Dimes
National Poster Child.
Selection of the vivacious
child, a victim of the grave
birth defects of an open spine
and excess fluid on the brain,
was announced by Basil O’Con
nor, president of The National
Foundation, parent body of the
New March of Dimes. Study
and patient aid in birth de
fects and arthritis, together
with continued work in polio,
embody the expanded program
of the health organization.
In January, during which
the New March of Dimes will
be held throughout the nation,
Linda will probably feel she is
facing mirrors everywhere she
travels. That’s because millions
of posters will bear her like
ness which, in drawings and
photographs, will also be pub
lished in thousands of news
papers and magazines. The
blonde and blue-eyed child will
also appear on network tele
vision.
Linda’s parents are Mr. and
Mrs. Dean E. Breese. Her father
is an industrial engineer. Her
mother, Dorothy Lohr Breese,
in addition to Linda has an
other daughter, Susan, 14. and
two sons, Ronnie, 12, and Terry,
six. Tragically, since there is

handicapped Linda among the
Breese children, Ronnie is a
victim of cerebral palsy but his
general physical condition is
described as good.
Mrs. Breese has been a Moth
ers’ Marcher for the annual
March of Dimes.
“My husband and I are deep
ly grateful that at last some
thing constructive is being
done about birth defects,” she
says. “We pray that The
National Foundation which,
through public contributions to
the March of Dimes, financed
the development of the Salk
polio vaccine, will in time also
solve the puzzle of birth de
fects, which are the largest
unmet childhood medical prob
lem in our country today.”
Emphasizing the enormity of
the problem, Mrs. Breese cit
ed statistics showing that 250,-
000 infants in the United
States are born annually with
significant birth defects. Also,
because of these congenital
malformations, 34,000 babies a
year in the nation are stillborn
or die in the first four weeks
of life.
Linda underwent surgery to
close her spine when she was
less than a day old. The opera
tion was performed at Chil
dren’s Hospital, Columbus,
where The National Foundation
with March of Dimes funds
established the nation’s first
Birth Defects Study Center a
few months ago. Nine months
City of Seven Hills
It is said that the founders of
Rome, in northwest Georgia,
I were so inspired when they came
! upon the juncture of three rivers,
nestled amid seven hills that
they decided to build a town
there. Each of them placed a
name in a hat and “Rome” was
the name drawn. It had be e n
selected because Italy's famous
capital also was built amid seven
hills.
And to view the city today
from atop the famous Myrtle Hill,
it is not hard to see why the
founders were inspired. Rome is
a beautiful city, rich in history.
The old town clock on the sky
line, atop Neely Hill, provides a
focal point, and now that the city
has become one of Georgia’s pro
gressive industrial centers
there is a happy blending of the
old and the new.
Rome boasts some fine residen
tial sections of new modern struc
tures or stately old mansions,
which have withstood the tides of
time. The sluggish Oostanoola
and the muddy red Etowah join
in Rome to form the Coosa River,
which leads to a recreational area
in the making near Leesburg. The
construction of a dam on the
Coosa will provide Rome with a
backyard playground, second to
none in the state.

later, she again had surgery
for excess fluid on the brain,
and the little girl today wears
a “shunt” tube to drain ofl
this liquid. Linda also uses
crutches but has been able to
discard her leg braces.

। In the Myrtle Hill Cemetery is
i the grave of Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, a native Roman, and the
grave of the last known soldier to
be returned from World War I.
Another picturesque hill of
' Rome bears the 1i b eral arts
school. Shorter College, and the
view from there is breath-taking,
especially this time of year. And
there are few drives more inspir
ing than a trip over Mt. Alto,
whidh overlooks the city and its
surroundings from the west.
And while in Rome, you’ll want
I to drive out to Mt. Berry and
i take a tour of the most unusual
educational institution in the
I world. The Berry Schools and
College.
Plan a full day at Berry, for it
will take that long to really see
this garden in the mountains. And
if at all possible make it a day
other than Sunday so you may
visit some of the craft shops and
plants where student-made mer
chandise is for sale.
There is no place in the world
like Berry, and none more beauti
ful. This fabulous school, which
was born of a dream and a log
cabin, has grown in size and
statue to a unique position.
The dairy barns, although they
may not sound romantic, are
worth a trip to Rome to see. They
look like Swiss castles and nestled
in the foothills of Lavender Moun
tain, form an inspiring backdrop
for the other beautful campus
scenes.
The peaceful mirror lake and
its graceful swans . . . the Glenn
Memorial Chapel ... the lazy old
water wheel (the second largest
on earth) . , . the craft buildings
and the Ford Quadrangle, all
offer delightful subjects for the
camera fan. And now that fall
has further blessed this lovely
area with color, take along extra
color film.
You'll find a trip to Rome and
Mt. Berry a worthwhile trip and
an inspiring event. Your neighbor
hood service station will assist
you in mapping the best route.
Your speed and position in
traffic should enable you to
keep a buffer space between
you and the cars around you,

the danger by giving you time
and room to react if a vehicle
swerves into your path.

The Democratic party has some
colorful skeltons in its closet.
The Barnburners, for example,
were a group of New York Demo
crats in the 1840’s, who were ac
cused of being willing to destroy
the party in order to bring about
certain reforms. World Book En
cyclopedia says they got their
name from the story of a farmer
who burned down his barn to free
it of rats.
In the early 1800’s, a group who

SEASONING
Home living is a good deal
more palatable with a good dash
of seasoning.
In this sense, the term ap
plies not to food but to t h e
structural lumber that supports
the floors, walls and roof.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, “properly
seasoned” lumber is preshrunk
by air or kiln drying before be
ing surfaced to final size. It’s
essential to joints that stay
tight and to permanent strength
of the house. The comfort of
the dwelling as well as low
maintenance and service coats,
depend on a good quality struc
ture.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, the wood
plank - and - beam system is
an excellent medium for de
veloping taller rooms in t h e
typically low contemporary
home. Ceiling height extends to
top roof level in plank-and
beam homes.
We can not protect our
children from problems. What
we must do is to prepare them
to meet and solve problems ade
quately, says Miss Audry Mor
