ILl vision over a set she received from! ‘‘Welcome Travellers,” then a radio program, a couple of years ago. She kept up her school work at home, with the cooperation of her teachers and members of her family, who carried papers and books back and forth, led her class and graduated with honors in June, Seated in her wheel chair, she also had a part in her school play. Classmates Gave Typewriter Since her illness Sarah has grown from a chubby child Of 12 tp a slim, soft-eyed, soft-voiced and smiling young lady. Her classmates say she was not only the best student, but also the best loved, member of the class of 1954. To show their love they gave her the typewriter which is opening up for her a new world of pleasxire and accomplishment. To continue the work of the March of Dimes for Sarah and other polio victims, Moore Coun ty residents are now united with other Am'ericans in carrying for ward an emergency drive for funds. The need is acute—Na tional Foundation funds are gone. Checks may be sent to Paul C. ‘ Butler, Moore County chairman, at Southern Pines. SARAH INMAN .... EVERY MUSCLE ONCE PARALYZED At Home In Haillison Electric Typewriter Figures In Moore Girls’ Fight Against Polio Handicaps S8"ih Inman Was Viciim of Epidemic Of 1948 In County You wouldn’t think that owner ship of a typewriter could be one of the m'ost thrilling things that could happen to a pretty 18-year- old girl. But that’s so, in the case of Sarah Inman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wpl Inman of Hallison. This particular typewriter is a very special typewriter, and Sarah is a very special young lady. It has a Ineaning for her it might not for any other teen ager you might know. The machine is a very good electric typewriter—the kind that responds to a touch as light as a butterfly’s wing. It was the gift of Sarah’s schoolmates when she graduated from Carthage High school ip June—and that gradu ation, incidentally, was an achievement to deserve your best salute. For Sarah had polio six years ago. Doctors who have treated her at Warm Springs, Ga., say she was the worst case in the United States to survive, in that epidemic year of 1948. ' Every muscle in her body was paral yzed. T^^ongh she has made steady, if slow, improvement since then, she is still confined practically entirely to her wheel chair. A special corset-Uke ap paratus helps her sit up. A sus pension arrangement composed mostly of leather straps helps her move her arnis and hands. Writes Mamy Letters Her fingers re-learned their movements through therapeutic skills taught her at Warm Springs, so that she is able to write, though slowly. One of her great pleasures has been the car rying on of correspondences with pen pals” all over the United States, some of them other hand icapped young people, or persons who have had other sorrows. To these she extends her friendship and encouragement by mail. The wonderful typewriter is making her writing much easier —or will, when she masters the touch technique completely. To this end Sarah gives herself an hour’s typing lesson each day. She is working her way through a high school typing book, exer cise by exercise. ‘‘I can do everything but spac ing with the right thumb,” she reports with justifiable pride. She types slowly—speed isn’t the object. She can adjust the carriage, and perform the other necesshry motions, and as she works the long sheet of pai)€r creeps gradually up covered with neat-looking words. They aren’t perfect—“I make lots of mis takes,” Sarah notes with a ruefol grin; but who doesn’t? “Besides the pleasure the let ter-writing gives Sarah, it’s so good for her fingers and hands,' says her mother, a smiling and cheerful lady who is devoting her life to her daughter’s care. To Warm. Springs Sarah was just past the sixth grade when she was stricken with polio in the summer of 1948. 'That was the year when Moore coun ty had about 85 polio cases, and the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis poured $85,000 HAYES BOOK SHOP , —^For — Zipper Notebooks — Ring Notebooks Notebook Paper Scratch Pads — Dictionaries Esterbrook Pens and Pencils Parker Pens and Pencils Composition Books Typing Paper — Carbon Paper Pencils — Pencil SharpePers Ballpoint Pens Rulers — Protractors Compass — Triangles Book Bags — Poster Paper Tempera Qolors Scrapbooks — Photo Albums Diaries — Erasers worth of March of Dimes money into the county. Some of it went to help Sarah, and, through the intercession of Paul C. Butler of Southern Pines, Moore County polio chapter chairman, she was admitted to the polio center at Warm Springs, treated there for almost a year and has been a regular twice-a-year visitor since that time. At Weu-m Springs she has re ceived treatment which has en abled her to help herself in many ways. She has also been fitted for, and given, the braces and other equipment her growing body needed. On her last visit, about a month ago, she exchang ed her heavy metal back brace for a lighter one of plastic ma terial, which is much more com- fortbale. Using crutches, Sarah has in creased to one hour daily the time she can stand alone, The rest of the time, she types, reads, does handicrafts she learned at Warm Springs and enjoys tele- rronoh Restaurant *Wc«tnc PINEHURST.
