Mrs. Iris Padlock of Wilmington, State winner of the 1956 Polio
Mother of the Year Award, receives a big kiss from her seven-year
old siln Donald, as he and his brother, Lane, fourteen, leave for school.
Mrs. Tadlock was first stricken with polio when she was eighteen
months old and took her first step, without crutches and braces, when
she was sixteen. Later, as a wife and mother, polio struck her again.
Judges for the contest were Georgia Carroll (Mrs. Kay Kyser), Paul
Green and Noel Houston, all of Chapel Hill.

Struck Again
Editor's Note:
We are inclined to think of polio in
terms of the little children it most often
strikes—for it is a scourge of childhood. But
these iittie children grow up—some of them
still suffering from the effects of the disease
that has made them, despite tender and
skillful care, crippled. What happens to
them?
One answer to this question may be
found in the story of Mrs. Marvin Tadlock,
as told by herseif. Mrs. Tadlock was born
in Ouplin County, and has oeen a resident
of New Hanover County for the past ten
years. She has two children—Lane, who is
fourteen years old, and Donald, who is
seven. Her husband is an auto-mechanic
working with a Wilmington firm. Here is
her story:
By MRS. IRIS TADLOCK
North Carolina's Polio Mother of the Year
Life began for me on June 24,
1921. As a toddler, at the age of
eighteen months, I was stricken
with polio and hospitalized. My
type was anterior poliomyelitis,
then called by everyone “infantile
paralysis". Both of my legs and
my back were involved. And my
toddling days were over!
At the age of five I underwent
extensive leg surgery, and
placed in braces and on crutches.
Once, when I was six years old, I
was set upon by a vicious dog.
Since I was on crutches and in
braces, I was unable to run from
him, or even to walk fast. Things
looked very black. Without con
scious thought of what I was do
ing, I turned, dropped my crutches,
and fell on my stomach. And then
I barked, in my most frightening
(and frightened) voice, right in
the dog’s face, in complete amaze
ment at my antics, the dog turned
tail and ran. It seems to me that
polio might be likened to that
vicious dog. It produces great fear
and shock; and though it may
force you to lie down, you must
“bark” right back at it.
At the age of twelve, I was
again hospitalized for further re
habilitative care. With the help of
a friend, I took my first steps
without crutches and braces at the
age of sixteen. Because of my
great desire, and with tremendous
personal effort, I was able to man
age in this manner for a period of
ten years. During this very busy
ten years, I was graduated from
high school, attended business col
lege for two years, married, work
ed as a file clerk and stenographer
for a while, and became a mother.
Life seemed to have settled into
a very nice and comfortable pat
tern, and polio seemed an ordinary
nuisance to be accepted, slowing
me up at times, it is true, but on
the whole, something conquered.
But not so! Polio struck me
again. My back, which had held
its correction through so many
years, suddenly became a painful
and immediate problem. And ex
pensive, too!
As I dealt with this problem,
and continue to deal with it now,
I have been constantly reminded,
because of the wonderful help and
kind understanding I have received
from the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, the medical
of the words of William Shakes
peare:
“The quality of mercy is not
strained,

After a week and a half’s rest,
the Manteo Red Skins basketball

The Manteo girls have nine
straight victories to their credit

playing a steady game as play
maker. Helen Baum is the other
starting forward and has played
strong in her position also. Ann

Midgett are the starting guards.
The Manteo boys have six wins
against throe losses. Two of those
losses have been to two strong
conference teams, Central and
Weeksville. David Simpson and
Coy Tillett, Jr. have been high
point leaders to date. Woody
Woodward, J. D. Simpson and Carl
Hayes have been the other start
ing players. Ken Leary has been
an outstanding substitute in all
games, playing a very good game
in the last moments of the Weeks
ville game.
The teams will return to the
newly sanded and reconditioned
home floor next Tuesday night,
January 31, when they play
Griggs. On Friday night they will
again play Kitty Hawk, whose
