Mothers March To Raise Funds
Friday, January 18, will mark the
beginning of the 1985 fund-raising
campaign for the March of Dimes
Birth Defects Foundation.
Ever since its conquest of polio in
the 1950's, the March of Dimes has
had one goal-prevention of birth
defects. Since there are more than
3000 different birth defects, this time
there will be no single solution.
Every two minutes in the United
States, a baby is born with a birth
defect. Yet many birth defects are
preventable, and thanks to the
March of Dimes, more and more of
them will become so.
Some of the more recent accomp-
lishments of the March of Dimes
include the development of the ru-
bella vaccine, Rh immunization and
the detection of PKU in newborns.
Rubella (German measles) caused
major birth defects in more than
20,000 babies during the mid-sixties
epidemic and killed at least 10.000
babies. Rubella can severely damage
unborn babies of mothers who have

Heating George Bolger To
Assistance Run For Mayor
Some low-income Texas house-
holds may be eligible for help in
paying their heating bills this winter
through the Home Energy Assitance
Program, according to Texas Depart-
ment of Human Resources Com-
missioner Marlin Johnston.
Commissioner Johnston said the
one-time payment is available to
many low-income households which
this month received food stamps,
Aid to Families with Dependent
Children, Supplemental Security In-
come, or needs-tested Veterans Ad-
ministration benefits.
Potentially eligible veterans are
those who receive payments under
Section 415, 521, 541 or 542 of Title
38 of the U.S. Code or under Section
306 of the Veterans and Survivors
Pension Improvement Act of 1978.
Eligibility is limited by gross
income. For instance, aid is available
for a one-person household having
less than a $371.49 gross income per
month. The gross income limit is
$608.49 for a two-person household;
$835.49 for a three-person house-
hold; $1,030.49 for four persons;
$1,216.49 for five; and $1,422.49 for
six.
Eligible households must be sub-
ject to energy cost increases - be-
cause of higher bills or rent due to
rising utilities.
Households in privately owned or
rented housing are eligible if the cost
of utilities is included in the rent
payment or if the household pays a
portion of its home energy costs.
Johnston said application forms
arc mailed automatically to house-
holds receiving food stamps, AFDC,
and SSI. Households receiving
needs-tested veterans benefits must
request an application from the DHR
in January.
Those who have not received an
application and think their household
may be eligible should contact a local
DHR office.
