Yet it says a number of things not always apparent to the average American. Most of us are barely consi- ous of the crippled child or adult. We see a boy dragging .along a braced leg trying to keep up with his playmates. The little girl on crutches or the man in a wheel chair are us ually taken for granted as an unchanging way of life. Crippling has many causes. The New March of Dimes singles out three major fields of crip¬ pling disease for a forntal at¬ tack. These are birth defects, arthritis and polio. Here is the size of the problem: Every year a quarter of a million infants - 685 a day - are born with birth defects. At least half of them face a life¬ Happy New Year!

A very happy New Year to the politicians so fine— And especially those with paid announcements divine! To the folks who say—‘1 saw it in The Times” May all the good things this year—be thine!

This is the type of coinage that ought to be circulated more freely, and fre¬ quently, in the market of human relations. Out public servants are often abused by uninformed people whose only sense of mission is to be critical. How wholesomely refreshing, and how well-deserved was this editorial. May I pat you on the back for this pat on the back. Sincerely yours. Lee W. Hill H. F. ALLISON AGENCY In Fire and Automobile Insurance Licensed Real Estate Broker Representing Stock Companies iL.
