Paralysis Cure
Is Priceless,
KiwaniansToii
Bryan? CS Teenagers Unite
,1 In Big March Against Palm
No price is too great to pay
for a paralized child to regain
the use of his arms and legs,
Mrs. Lucille Foster, chairman
of the Brazos County Chapter
of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis told College
Station Kiwanians Tuesday.
Mrs. Foster gave a talk on polio
and how the contributions made by
local citizens helped fight paralysis
in the county, asking the Kiwanis
to give their full support to the
March of Dimes drive now under
way.
Money from the March of Dimes
goes to treatment of polio victims
in the form of braces, surgery and
therapy, she said. Also, the funds
provide Salk vaccine shots to those
unable to pay for them.
“The Brazos County foundation
spends an average of $500-$600 a
month on local polio cases,” Mrs.
Foster said, she added “Much of
which goes to Aggies, expecially
children of married students.”
Although there were no cases of
polio reported in the Bryan-Col-
lege Station in 1957, the danger has
not passed she said.
“Especially since there are still
865 Bryan school students who
have not taken the shots, the
danger is present,” Mrs. Foster
added.
College Station students were 100
percent in taking the shots, she
said.
She asked the Kiwanis especially
to suppoi-t the March of Dimes
Family Square Dance to be held
Feb. 1, in DeWare Field House.
Admission to the dance is free,
but each person attending is asked
to make a contribution to the
March of Dimes at the door, she
said.

Bryan and College Station teen
agers began a combined march on
polio last week toward an $1,800
goal for the March of Dimes.
The Teens for Polio, as the com
bined force is called, has a schedule
of activities planned for the entire
month of January to raise funds
for the drive. The group is made
up of students from Bryan and
College Station high schools.
Other than general contributions
taken up by the teenagers, they
have taken collections at all Bryan,
College Station and A&M basket
ball games, and plan similar drives
for all future games as long as the
March of Dimes drive is underway.

MeOtiillen Speaks
On Gifts Groups
E. E. McQuillen, director of the
A&M office of Special Gifts and
Bequests, explained the work being
done by his department at a re
cent meeting of the Association of
Former Students.
McQuillen pointed out that all
over the nation colleges are awak
ening to the fact that more ways
and means to make college edu
cations possible for boys are need
ed.
He said A&M became aware of
this problem several years ago,
and set up the Opportunity Award
Plan in 1946 along with the Stu
dent Loan Fund.
Since that time nearly 1500 men
have benefitted from the Oppor
tunity Award Plan and the loan
fund has grown to a quarter of a
million dollars.
The Opportunity Plan operates
with gifts and donations from for
mer students and business or
ganizations, individuals and others.
