had been gathering for some
time over i the political , horizon
of our country, dark and
threatening. slavery ! in the
States ' had been recognized by
the Constitution, in opposition to
it many of the Northern states
had passed laws opposed to the
fugitive law, ; under which an
pwner could arrest and reclaim
his servant .who had fled from
him. The. South claimed the
right to '. carry; her ;, slaves into
.the -territories , which the North
opposed. These antagonisms cul
minates in the John Brown raid

: ' While r was ; at Haverford at
that time ' very many southern
young men were students at the
Medical Colleges in Philadelphia.
They mobbed the procession
carrying John Brown's body
trough . the city and made
themselves universally dreaded.
I was in hearty sympathy with
them, in fact I was too much
absorbed in the political events
of the day, culminating soon af
ter in the election of a partisan
Chief, Abraham Lincoln to the
presidency. 1 found but 'little
time for study and at the end

who had until that time, been a
Union man I stood with many
others on the outside of the
ganized and drilled and every
thing put on a war footing.
" After the fall of Roanoke
Island, I joined a Company of
Cavalry from Nansemond Coun
ty. Va., under the command of
Capt. Jesse B. Brewer of Suf
folk, Va., now stationed at Cen
ter Hill, picketing the different
landings and towns on the river
and sound. Capt. Brewer' was
an old friend of my father, hav
ing beep the contractor for th!
building of the Methodist Church
in Hertford. The Company was
ordered to Petersburg, we pick
eted : around City Port on. the
lames River, then were ordered
to join Jackson in Northern
Virginia; at Hanover Junction
the order was countermanded,
and men then ,sent to thePe- l
ninsula. My Company .had;! its
first engagement at ' Williams-1
burg,- from there to , Culpepper J
Court, House, Va., and attached1
to ; the 13th Virginia - Cavalry.
We were then attached to the
Cavalry of the Gallant J. E- B
Stuart and remained . in active
service during the entire war.
Sometimes we fared well,
again had nothing. The Con
federate Government paid us
$25.po per month for self, horse
and .accoutrements, while fre
quently later in the war we
would pay $10.00 for a single
meal. ; ; We were certainly not

"No other health orpanir

for that matter not even ft
federal government, has at
tempted any such comprehen
sive network of special treat
ment centers," Basil O'Connor,
president of The National
Foundation-March of Dimes,
said recently.
"We invested a great deal of
study and thought in this
Project before we . began in
960 with the three pilot units
patterned after our polio re
spiratory centers," he added.
"But even with all this plan
. nlng and preparation which
included medical conferences
across, the country we" did.
. " not foresee the full magnitude
' nor the urgency of the needs
that these special treatment
' centers very soon brought to
light ' .' - .

The thoughtful and com
passionate generosity of the
, American public has permitted
the March of Dimes to make
some headway in meeting the
. research and medical care
problems posed by 250,000 in
fants born each' year In our
country with major birth de
