Mrs. Larry Turner To Direct March Of Dimes Drive Locally Mrs. Larry Turner of Brevard, | on behalf of Epsilon Sigma Al pha, will serve as Transylvania County Director of the 1964 March of Dimes, Mr. Phil Mar vin, Slate Representative, an nounced today. Mrs. Turner will direct volttn teers during the Januarv 2-3' annual March of D ines campaign in this county to raise funds far medical care of those afflicted with birth defects or with artli ritis, and to suopert research into the cause and cure of these crippling conditions. In announcing the appoint meat, Mr. Marvin said that "I knew very well that under the inspiring ieaderrhio of Mrs I Turner, the perple of Transy’ vania will give generously agai to support the March of Dime scientific arsarlt on these cr ; ■ piers In dec.ding tire am urn I give ’1 of us must also b mindful of the c r.'inning nee 1 of thousands stricken in other ; years by paralytic polio.” Mrs. Turner will serve aloir with a croup cf l'0"rd membe Mrs. Marius Wells, Mrs. Ke Nissen and Mrs. James Nich 1 The entire members of E.S.. will also participate. ‘■Really only a few of u Americans rea’ize,” Mrs. Turne said, "that every year in ou country' we h»ve a quo’'*0” million infants born with seri ous birth defects. At leas. 3U.u>jl are still born or die of these de fects. To put it another way this rne^ns that one infant of I every' 16 has a serious defect, 1 and that about every tenth Amer 1 ican family experiences the trag edy and suffering caused by the birth of a seriously defective child. Only accidents cause more crippling among children.” Turning to the subject of arth ritis, Mrs. Turner added: "Here also the statistics arc shocking and breathtaking. Fully 11 mil lion cf us suffer from the arth ritic diseases. A fourth of these are unable—or are limited in their ability—to carry cut nor mal activities. A tenth of the victims of this Number One Crippler in the nation, or more than a million individuals, are confined to their homes cr re quire help in getting around." Mrs. Turner explained that with public contributions the March of Dimes ir>s eRt»h1i.'i*’«d some 70 treatment centers throughout the country to give expert medical care fo" ch;Mven with birth defects, for people of all ages stricken by a thritis and for those afflicted by polio. Fif teen of these centers also con duct research. Mrs. Turner stated that the Birth Defects Snecial Treatment Center which began operation this year at Chanel Hill, is sup ported by the March of Dimes Chapters cf North Carolina. | Chapters are looking toward the | possib'e establishment of a rhe [ umatoid arthritis special treat' 1 ment center in our state in 1964 Doctors Decision wsmmmmsmsmm . - EVERY YEAR in the U. S., about IS,GOO infants are born with hydrocephalus, a severe birth defect also known as water on the brain.. About half that total are stillborn. Among the survivors the condition sometimes corrects itself. When it does not, new surgical techniques have greatly improved the likelihood of sur vival. The infant above, Joyce Elaine Deitch, 8 months, is being carefully checked by Dr. Jack R. Cooper, a neurosurgeon, and Dr. Ruth M. Yohe, a pediatrician and medical director of the March of Dimes-financed Birth Defects Treatment Center, Children's Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, Mo. They decided against immediate surge-y since swelling cf the head seemed to be stopping of its own accord. Contributions to *he March of Dimes support the fight against birth defects, artnii is and polio. I And We Quote Culture The gre.it law of culture is: Let each become all that he was created capable of being. —Thomas Carlyle Culture is not in the job; it is in the attitude to the job. —C. Alphonso Smith Culture is one thing and var nish another. —Rahdi Waldo Emerson Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and know ing why. —Henry Van Dyke School-examinations are one sided; it is not so much acade mic education, as a moral and spiritual culture, which lifts one higher. —Mary Baker Eddy Culture looks beyond machin ery . . . Culture has one great passion — the passion for sweet ness and light. —Matthew Arnold BREVARD RESIDENTS Town Auto TAGS Go On Sale JAN 2nd At Town Hall An ordinance of the town of Brevard requires that all resident automobiles of the town must display a town license tag on or before Feb. 15th, 1964.
