PLANS LAID FOR MOTHERS'
MApCH ON POLIO ON JAN. 16
Mothers’ March on Polio chair-
men and co-chairmen from Dallas
County communities took a
glimpse last week at how Dallas
mothers will marshal (heir door-
to-door forces January 16.
About 30 women attended a
luncheon meeting at Chantly’s
Restaurant, 3923 Lemmon Ave.
Mrs. T. W. Rutledge, advisor on
the Mothers’ March to the coun-
ty’s community chairmen, pre-
sided.
Mechanics of sectioning off the
city, distributing materials, and
collecting donations on the night
of the march were explained by
Mrs. Betti Byrd, secretary of the
Dallas Mothers’ March.
An annual event of the March
of Dimes, it is organized on the
principle that no worker should
have more than ten other work-
ers reporting to her. It takes a
block as its smallest unit with a
lieutenant over each 10-block
section. Lieutenants report to an
area captain, who reports in
turn to a division major. The city
is divided into ten high school
districts.
The whole operation is designed
so that it may be completed in a
! two or three-hour period. *
Chairmen attended from Row-
lett, Lawson, R.vlie, Mesquite, Wil-
mcr, Lancaster, Seagoville, Sower,
Shady Grove, Farmers Branch.
Richardson, Duncanville, Irving,
and Hutchins.
Mrs. Ben Davis and Mrs.
Robert . H. Langdon of Farmers
Branch attended.

I WEAR OLD TB PATIENT
MAKES APPEAL FOR XMAS
I SEAt PURCHASES
; Accompanying the Christina-
Seals which Carrollton and Farm
ers Branch residents received
last week is a letter signed by a
17-year-old girl who is a TB pa
| tient at Woodlawn Hospital.
Sharon Corder in her letter
makes an appeal for seal pur
chases, tells why they’ are so im
j portant to the fight against tu-
| berculosis in Dallas County, but
she also describes her own battle
with the disease.
It is a story simple told, with
out impressive phrases, yet it
grips the interest of a reader be-
cause of straight-forward way in
which the girl has told of her own
experiences.
Sharon’s story is the story of
just one person's fight against
tuberculosis; there are people
living in Carrollton and Farmers
Branch and all the rest of Dallas
County who have fought TB and
| won, as Sharon is winning her
fight.
i ”If their stories were known,
they would be just as gripping as
Sharon’s,” says R. G McCord,
Christmas Seal chairman for Dal-
las County. “In the battle which
every TB patient has fought,
there is a story of hardship, cour-
age and determination.”
It is the very nature of the long
months of treatment for tubercu-
losis that brings out these charac-
! teristics in most victims of the
j disease, said Mr. McCord.
