arthritis or disabling rheumatic
disease afflicts more than 11 mill-
ion Americans, many thousands of
them being children who suffer
from particularly severe condit-
ions.
Until recently, said Mr. Iteint-
schel, little was being done to pr-
ovide uniformly excellent treat-
ment for these victims of cripp-
ling disease.
Now. the March of Dimes has
established nearly 70 treatment
centers across the nation where
such treatment is available and
where trained specialists in these
medical areas are developing im-
proved techniques which can bene-
fit all disabled persons.
The March of Dimes is also le-
ading the battle against birth de-
fects and arthritis on the research
front. The same kind of research
program that developed the Salk
and Sahin polio vaccines is now
supporting many of rhe world’s
leading sceintists to rhe extent of
1 million dollars as they search
for possible means of prevention.
“The American people have
come to expect success from the
March of Dimes,” said Mr. Heint-
schel. “Their continued support
this January will make possible
even greater victories over dis-
ease and disability.”
Johnny Lee Baldwin, a 28 year
old Negro who gave Katy as his
home town was arrested at San-
derson Thursday night for the
theft of a 1962 Ford out of the Bo-
riack Motor Sales Garage at Sch-
ulenburg three nights previous,
Baldwin had left the stolen Ford
" in San Antonio Wednesday night
after the vehicle was damaged in
front and on the right side, app-
arently in a collision. Baldwin was
said to have stolen another car in
San Antonio with his apprehension
following at Sandeson.
Deputy Sheriff Fritz Prilop of
Schulenburg went to San Antonio
Thursday to return the stolen car.
It is owned by James Gebert, who
teaches school at Alvin but was
nome for the holidays. The Ford
had been left at the garage for
minor repairs.
Baldwin, who had been jailed at
Del Rio, was brought to jail here
Saturday by Deputy Prilop and lo-
cal Constable Lawrence Ulbrich.
Saturday morning Sheriff T. J.
Flournoy recovered a 1958 Chev-
rolet tudor from a deep creek just
>ast of here before the underpass.
The car, which was not visible
,rom the highway was discovered
5y a passerby who had stopped to
walk his dog. It was reported
to > ive been stolen earlier last
week in Austin.
Officers thought that the party
or parties who ran the car into
the creek, apparently while trying
to turn around, were those guilty
of later stealing a 1955 Chevrolet
owned by John Sebesta of Tomball
from the Carter Courts here.
The Sebesta car has not yet
been found.

The month of January is upon
us as Is the beginning of another
’* new year. This first month of the
new year took its name from the
two headed god of Roman myth-
ology, Janus. Now old Janus could
look both ways--—backward and
forward.
Let’s best him and look only for-
ward. Let’s face the new year
asking, as did King Solomon, for
understanding, and making faith,
hipe and love our yardstick to live
by. Happy New Year to you all'
