the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis and its 20
years of service to Texas and

'The National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis has
reached its twentieth anniver-
sary of service to Texas and
the Nation.
"In January, 1958, this or-
ganization will again sponsor
the March of Dimes to pro-
vide the means by which po-
lio patients may avail them-
selves of the newest medical
treatment and rehabilitation
techniques, and also provide
for continuation of scientific
research and the training of
urgently needed medical
workers.
" 'Survival Is Not Enough'
is the slogan for the 1958
March of Dimes campaign,
meaning that the many thou-
sands of cruelly handicapped
polio victims alive today must
still be restored to a useful
and productive life.
"THEREFORE, I, as Gover-
nor of Texas, do hereby desig-
nate the month of January,

would like to have 2 member-
ship* . . . one for myself and
one for my teen-age daugh-

with a Check for |2 and would
greatly appreciate it if you
would give this check to the
proper parties and have them
bill me for $2 per month un-
til they get their project com-
pleted."
"I have noted with great in-
terest that a teen center is be-
ing formed in Canadian,"

in Pampa the older people
have been working on a youth
center for years and have not
gotten very far. I have great
faith in the teen-agers, and I
believe they can get the job
done."

Plains area to the formal op-
ening of the Hemphill County
.Airport here.
Invitations to attend the
get-together have been mail-
ed to airports all over this
section of the country, ac-
cording to J. T. Webb and
Vernon Flowers, operators of
the recently re-activated air-
port.
"If the weather is good,"
Webb said this week, "we ex-
pect to have fifty or more
planes landing here for the
breakfast get-together."
If Saturday weather condi-
tions are unfavorable, Webb
said, the Fly-In will be post-
poned until the following
morning (Sunday, January
12).

guests of the Hemphill Coun-
ty Airport and the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce at an
informal breakfast session at

Four survivors of the ill-
fated patrol plane were res-
cued a few hours after the
crash, and the bodies of two
other crew members were re-
covered by searchers. No trace
was found of the other seven-
teen, and the search was
abandoned as "hopeless"
shortly after Christmas.
Survivors said the plane, a
WV-2 Super Constellation on
radar patrol duty, plunged in-
to heavy seas from low alti-
tude Monday night, December
23, as it was approaching its
Pearl Harbor base near Hono-
lulu. The plane sank almost
immediately, according to re-
ports, and most of the crew
members were believed to
have gone down with it.
Ensign Webb was the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur (Bud)
Webb of Canadian, and the
husband of the former Helen
Ann Riley, daughter of Mr.
ad Mrs. Tom Riley of Canadi-
an.
Mrs. Riley and Ensign
Webb's brother, Allan flew
from Pampa to the West Coast
by chartered plane on Christ-
mas Day, and on to Honolulu
to join Helen Ann and the
Webbs' 3-month-old daugh-
ter there. They wired rela-
tives here at week's end that
the search had been abandon-
ed and no hope was held for
the missing fliers.
L. H. was born in Canadian,
and graduated from Canadian
High School where he lettered
in football and basketball. He
graduated last year from Ok-
lahoma State University at
Stillwater, and was commis-
sioned in the United States
Navy after graduation.
Ensign and Mrs. Webb had
been stationed in Honolulu
since last summer.
The Navy so far has made
no official statement of find-
ings regarding the probable
cause of the crash.
Survivors said the aircraft
was approaching its base af-
ter a patrol flight, and crew
members were conducting a
routine fire drill. The plane
suddenly plunged into the
heavy seas, apparently with-
out warning to most members
of the crew. There was no
distress call.
Mrs. Earl McConnell and
Mrs. G. E. Terrell of Pampa
visited Friday in the John
Wilkinson home.
Lacy H. Tandy, long-time
resident of Hemphill county,
died Sunday, December 29, at
Truth or Consequences, New
Mexico. He was 65 years old.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon at two o'-
clock at the First Baptist
Church in Canadian with Rev.
Sanford Cole in charge of the
rites, and burial was in the
Canadian cemetery.
Mr. Tandy was born at Has-
kell, Texas, on August 17,
1892. He moved with his fam-
ily to Woodward, Oklahoma,
when he was 12 years old;
was married at Tulia, Texas,
in 1916 to Florence Gaylor,
and came to Hemphill County
in 1927, moving from here to
Truth or Consequences in
1943.
Surviving him are his wife,
Florence; one son, Walter, of
Boise City, Oklahoma; four
daughters, Mrs. C. B. Oliver
of El Paso, Mrs. Floyd Ross of
Amarillo, Mrs. Gordon Shep-
lor of Alamosa, Colorado; and
