'Sweetheart' from Day of Birth
Is National March of Dimes Girl
"She was a sweetheart
from the day she was born."
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?

Mrs. George Hash and son

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

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

techniques that may help our
Mary Lou."
