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.
