Never colt will you see that doesn't kick its heels in air. Among youth of every kind children alone wear braces. That doesn't seem right.

So what are we waiting for? To every American commu nity at this season comes the March of Dimes. This enterprise so dear to the heart of Presi dent Roosevelt when he was alive gives everyone a chance to join the fight on Infantile Paralysis. This nation-wide institution has turned the dime into a Polio smashing atom. It has made pos sible a chain reaction whereby one dime-atom adds its force to that of another ... in thousands ... in millions. Whether you give one dime or a hatful, the March of Dimes heips loose a tremendous force against The Enemy. ' Let none forget, either, that the long, long struggle to con quer Infantile Paralysis is still far from won.
