Burr of lubur ban Cleveland, Ohio, was understandably rattled that day five years ago when his wife, Caroline, an nounced, 2Mi months be fore their first child was due, 'Honey, I'm ready." Like most men, the 29-vtr-old chemist had never deliver ed baby. Hut there wasn t time to get to the hospital in SL Tsui, Minn., where they were then living, so he phoned the police for help- He also phoned the obstetri cian who offered some well chosen words of instruction just in time for John to de liver the baby, who arrived in breech position. Kor a beginner, John did an admirable job. The thrce-and-one-half pound baby girl, who was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, was rushed to the hospital where doctors kept her alive with the help of blood trans fusions and supplemental oxy gen. Ten weeks passed before John and Caroline were able to take little Elizabeth home. For about a year, everything seemed just fine. But the young couple began to notice that their daughter was not moving or talking like other one-year-olds. They la ter learned that Elizabeth had been born with a crippling birth defect. No one knows what caused it. but the pretty, intelligent little blonde has no control over her leg muscles and has serious speech difficulties. . "Although physical therapy was prescribed for Elizabeth at 18 months," says Mrs. Burr, "it was not until she was three years old, when we moved to Cleveland, that her condition was properly diagnosed and she began to receive the kind of total care she needs." Elizabeth was taken to the March of Dimes-financed Birth Defects Center at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital. There a team of medical ex perts began a continuing pro gram of physical and occupa- f r v - p. THUMBS UP.

Elizabeth visits the hospital three mornings a week. There she is learning to sit straight pronounce words properly and walk. As they do with other patients, the doctors observe Elizabeth's ability to learn and try to determine how she can best be educated. "Many patients may have a great deal more potential for learning and achievement than is generally recognized," aays Dr. Irwin A. Schafer, director of the Birth Defects Center. "If assessment is inadequate, these children could be functionally handicapped all their lives and become a burden on the com munity. "In our comprehensive care program, these children can be adequately assessed. Our staff can look at these children neurologically, medically and psychologically over extended periods of time and recom mend the kind of educational programs they will need.". Elizabeth, whose IQ is cer- tainlv hich enough for her to benefit from a formal educa tion, is now attending nursery school and will be enrolled next year in a school for the handicapped. The total treatment and ed ucation of Elizabeth Burr is not confined to the hospital and school. With the help of her mother, the little girl ex ercises at home on swings and in the sand box. "Elizabeth is the perfect mother to her dolls," Mrs. Burr points out. Although she can not walk without nelp, she is able to crawl between her toy stove and a little table to feed her dolls imaginary tea and crackers. The Burrs have a son, Mich ael, 3, who is normal and healthy. There is just one problem, though. While Mrs. Burr is teaching Elizabeth to read and pronounce, she must also help Michael, who has picked up some poor speech habits from his older sister. The Burr children can under stand each other, but they need help if others are to un derstand them. lonneville Man Stresses Safetv In Dinner Talk m By VIRGINIA KELSO KINZUA Approximately 200 members of the Kinzua Safety Council and their wives enjoyed a ham dinner last Monday eve nine at Jeffmore Hall.
