This is the way her mother describes winsome, bright little Mary Lou Graves, 5, of Flint, Mich.,. who has been named the 1964 Na tional March of Dimes Child. Blonde, blue-eyed, vivacious Mary Lou is indeed a sweet heart, but one who has had more than her share of sadness. She was born with a birth de fect called spina bifida, which means that the base of her spine was not closed properly. At the age of one month, she under went an orieratibn to correct this condition. Since then, Mary Lou has fought to be able to walk, and sometimes, she has had to fiEht to live. Today, the lower part of her body is paralyzed, and she is extremely vulnerable to infec tions. In spite of this, Mary Lou is a cheerful little girl de termined not to miss any of the pleasures of growing up. Proud of the fact that she lives in a state known as the auto capital of the world, Mary Lou tells visitors that her wheel chair is a "Kadlac." She has a frisky puppy named Prince, and she scurries after him as fast as Kadlac's wheels can take her. She tags along after her mother, helping to sweep the floor, dust the furniture and dry the silverware. One of her favorite jobs is baby sitting for her two young er sisters and brother who were all born without defects. March of Dimes Symbol The National Foundation March of Dimes has chosen Mary Lou to symbolize the 250,000 children born with a serious birth defect each year in this country. Basil O'Connor, president of The National Foundation, ex plains the problem of birth de fects, and the voluntary health organization's attack on it, in this way: "Why did something go wrong when Mary Lou's tiny body was being formed? Why is a seriously defective child born to one out of 10 American families? "Can more of these children be helped with present medical knowledge? day White beans, tomatoes, lunch meat sandwiches and fruit Jell-O.

Ph. 676-9228 ifyH Favorite hairdresser of Mary Lou Dimes Child, is her mother, Mrs. "What more must we know to prevent this from happening to babies yet unborn? "Simply stated, these are the questions for which hundreds of March of Dimes-supported scientists seek answers." Because the answers which come from scientific research will come too late to help chil dren already afflicted like Mary Lou, the March of Dimes is fighting the problem of birth defects in still another way through a growing nationwide network of March of Dimes hospital centers seeking the most effective treatment for these children. Currently, there are 44 of these centers across the country. Grateful for Help Mary Lou may be unaware of all the national and interna tional efforts to help solve the birth defects mystery, but her parents are not. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Graves are grateful to the Genesee County (Mich.)

Gravel, 1964 National March of Raymond Graves of Flint, Mich. with Mary Lou's frequent hos pitalizations. "The March of Dimes is the greatest friend we ever had," Mrs. Graves says. "The March of pimes helped us pay for hospital bills, medications, the wheel chair and other neces sary items." Mary Lou wants to be a nurse when she grows up, Mrs. Graves reports. "Wouldn't it be wonderful if she could be?" the March of Dimes Child's mother says. "Then maybe she could pay back some of the kindness shown to her. Until then," my husband and I can only say thank you to everyone who contributes to the March of Dimes, because more knowl edge might mean more medical techniques that may help our Mary Lou." As March of Dimes President O'Connor points out, the ulti mate aim of knowledge gath ered from this scientific re search is to prevent birth defects from harming thou sands of tiny bodies not yet born.
