THE BEAUTIFUL Springlike weather
the Aral of thl* week made everyone hap-
Pt . • • and started the gardeners thinking
about puttering around in the yard. We
•II are hoping the good weather continues.
The past two months have brought Tex-
as the hardest winter in many years. Tem-
peratures have consistently been below
freeaing, and that is rare in Texas. We
aura that people in future years will

Vegetables In the Velley were killed,
and fish along the Texas Gulf Coast were
killed hy the 12 degrep weather.
WE HEAR local people predict that this
will be a Rood year for the farmer, ranchman
Mid vegetable grower. More than 30 Inches
of rain fell Inst year—right on through Decem-
ber. And the cold weather "put n season in
the ground."
Local grain fanners will tell you, however,
that we have to have those March and April
rains to hnve » good grain crop,
When a writer has little to write about, he
always falls back on the weather. Since we
have that pnrt of the column off, we might
suggest advocates of the groundhog weather

7-13 is Boy Scout Week,
and millions of Boy Scouts throughout the
world will observe the week with special
activities.
This might be s good time to suggest
that Albany people take a little more In-

find Cocky Wood and Bob Martyn spend-
■t a great amount of time working with

Help they can get. Incidentally, Albany has
an excellent troop, and two very fine
scoutmasters in Messrs. Wood and Martyn.

AUSTIN, (iov. Price Dan-
iel's long light over reporting
unclaimed properly to the state
for escheat has ended at last.
So has the argument over
rural roads policy.
Hut the scrap over the ques-
tion of what to do about regu-
lating loans, interest rates and
lenders Is not yet settled. And
It may not lie for n long, long
time.
The legislature has settled
the escheat and road policy
of tin* Federal Ueserve Hoard,jquestions. Also II has partial-
speaking on Dec. 0 to the an-
nual meeting of the Tax Foun-
dation. Are these words there
ford mere straws In-the wind
Do they represent a sudden
realisation that an about face
Is necessary? Has the federal
government just now found its
perspective after more than
two decades of recklessness?
Does (he horizon hold any real
prospects of fiscal sanity?
The Facts Are Known
The answer to these ques-
tions, unfortunately, is No,
with a hig "unless" added for
the last one. Many clear heads
In Washington (this does not
include the muddled, Keynesian
"thinkers") have known these
things for years. Therefore,
despite the encouraging tone
and moral strength of the Fed-
eral Reserve officers "words,"
we must predict that there will
ly solved the advertising pro-
gram for tourist*, juvenile pa
role and repair of the San Ja
clnto Monument.
Money problems were eased
when Comptroller Hob Calvert
estimated that the escheat re
porting law passed last year
will yield at least $.'100,000
during the next 20 months, lie
put no estimate on the hank
reporting law just laid on Gov-
ernor Daniel's desk for certain
signature into law.
When the legislature meets,
growing Texas brings a pack
of problems to Austin for it
to solve.

ir.v's most popular television
and movie stars,
I.inda has traveled from
coast to coa t and seen her pic-
ture in nearly every new. pa-
per printed. She has autograph
books filled with the signature:;
of celebrities and famous peo-
ple she has visited.
Ihese are just some of the
I things Linda ha ; done that are
beyond the reach of most of us.
But the one thing we wanted
most for her was something the
average person takes for
granted—the ability to walk
alone and unaided.
There were many times dur-
ing the years that my husband
Dean and I thought that I.inda
would never be able to throw
away her braces and crutches
And to be truthful, there were
terrifying moments when we
reared we might even lose her.
I.inda was born with an
opening in her spinal column,
a condition known medically
as spina bifida. As a result, her
body was seriously affected
from the waist down.
When she was only a few
hours old, Linda underwent a
delicate operation tbat partial-
Jy corrected this condition. The
surgery was performed at Chil-
dren s Hospital in Columbus
where subsequently The Na-
tional Foundation with March
of Dimes funds established the
first of its Pirth Defects Clini-
cal Study Centers in 1959.
When she was nine months
old, it was found that Linda
had water on the brain, which
has the medical name of hudro-
cephqlut. This condition was
tinda at 23 months after two
operation* for birth defects.
And . .,
treated by the insertion of a
shunt tube which drains the
excess (hud from the head into
the blood stream.
You can imagine how much
we worried about our little girl
in those early days, because
we knew she was never far
from death. It could have come
at any time. After all, 250,000
infants are born in this coun-
try each year with a significant
birth defect and 21,000 of them
die.
But Linda continued to im-
prove. She received specialized
treatment at the March of
Dimes - supported center. She
got her leg braces and crutches.
Linda hated them, but she
learned to use them.
When though —if ever —
would she be able to run and
play with her sister and two
older brothers and the other
neighborhood children'
The answer to that question
depended on Linda, her doc-
tors, the rehabilitation thera-
usts and us. We all worked
ogothcr. We worked long, and
we worked hard, but it was
wortn it.
