Bar in 1815, but devoted his full
time to the life of a planter.
His political career began with
his election to the State House
in 1815. After serving there, he
was elected to the State Senate
in 1828 and was elected to the
U. S. Senate in 1829, serving
from that time to 1840, when
he resigned as a result of the
controversy with the State Leg

Lisa Can Ride Her'Goldilocks Again
Because of Help Froth March of Dimes
A magnificent fairyland
of a special kind, in which
leg aches are still known
but not felt so often as be
fore, has just opened for
four-year-old Lisa Sliker,
of Leicester, N. Y.
“My doctors," the blue-eyed
and auburn-haired Lisa tells
everyone today, “have made
my leg almost all well again.
Now I can sit on my horsie,
Goldilocks, and I can walk to
the barn on my crutches and
see my kittens and the pigs.”
The new lease on life accord
ed little Lisa is due in great
measure to the treatment she
continues to receive each month
at the arthritis clinical study
center at University of Roches
ter-Strong Memorial Hospital,
established with public contri
butions to the March of Dimes.
Stricken three years ago with
baffling rheumatoid arthritis in
her right leg, the attractive
child wore a cast for many
months but now no longer
wears it at night—although She
goes to sleep hugging “my old
Leg” like a doll.
Lisa is one of 30,000 young-
Bters in the United States who
are afflicted by rheumatoid ar
thritis which interferes with
bone growth and may cause
deformity. In addition to the
study center visited by Lisa at
i Rochester, March of Dimes
funds have made possible the
opening of additional arthritis
study centers in New York
City, Dallas and San Francisco.
, Mrs. Sliker recounts:
“My husband and I were
scared witless when Lisa’s
stumbling was diagnosed as
provoked by rheumatoid ar
thritis, which somehow sound
ed like something that might
strike your great-grandfather.
But not strike down the beau
tiful, merry and innocent little
baby with whom God had
blessed us.
“It was a terrifying experi
ence for us to watch Lisa lying
motionless in her crib, pain in
her eyes and face but holding
back the tears. Her right knee
was swollen to unbelievable
size. But now that she is much
better and some day may walk
again unassisted by crutches,
we pray that, like Lisa, others
was in the church cemetery.
Pallbearers were Lewis Har
rell, Gilbert Harrell, John By
rum, Tommy Leary, Jack Leary
and Bill Leary.

granted the North Carolina State
Highway Department by the U.
S. Bureau of Public Roads as

The Highway Department re
ceived word that it would get
federal reimbursement on 10

gency regulations, the Bureau of
Public Roads is authorized to
share one-half of the repair bill
with the state. The total cost
of the improvements on the 10

ing state and federdfc .shares*, is,
$319,500.
Among the projects on which
federal aid reimbursement will

North Carolina coast on Sep
tember 11 and 12, bringing se
vere damage to road and bridge
facilities from the Morehead
City-Beaufort area, northward to
the Virginia line. Highway of
ficials estimate that total ex
penditures for repair of all state
and federal aid roads came to
slightly over $500,000.

“My farmer husband helps
me call on neighbors during
January,” Mrs. Sliker adds.
“The snows are mountainous at
that time of year in our neck
of the woods, but we both feel
that helping the March of
Dimes is the least we can do in
return for the help given our
Lisa.”
