Andrew, Gwen and Richard are
three bright youngs'cers you won't
find riding bicycles in front of your
house. You won't find them climbing
trees or playing ball in the corner

hospitals.
When you look into their faces,, the
three faces of crippling, you know why
your support for the March of Dimes
now is more urgent than ever. Together
they symbolize why the National Foun-
dation has undertaken a new, expanded
health program. Medical care and re-
habilitation can help them. But the
great promise is medical scientific re-
search.
POLIO
Andrew Lange is six. He has been a
patient in the March of Dimes-supported
Rancho Los Amigos Respiratory Center
in Downey, Calif. He symbolizes the
crippling '~hat polio ho~ds in store for
many of its victims. "
During the past few years polio inci-
dence has declined sharply, thanks to
Salk vaccine; But what about Andrew?
Modern rehabilitation can help restore
something of his birthright to health.
During 1958 about 50,000 polio victims
received this kind of aid from the March
of Dimes totaling $18,900,000. Such aid
will continue in 1959.

weeks, then in a plaster cast. For eight
months she had to wear braces 24 hours
a day, then at night only for another six
months. When her mother first heard
she had rheumatoid arthritis, she ex-
claimed: "What? in a child?"
Statistics show that about 16,000 child
victims are likely to seek treatment in
any given year for rheumatoid arthritis
and Still's disease. The National Foun-
dation plans to offer March of-.Dimes
