In view of the added research and
patient aid responsibilities to be as
sumed by the National Foundation.
Powell said be hoped that the "gen
erous and thoughtful citizens of our
county will make sizeable contribu
tions on Blue Crutch Day so that
the March of Dimes can move to
ward greater victories in the year
ahead.
He added that Blue Crutch Days
will be held Friday afternoon and all

Blue Crutch Tags To Be Sold Friday
Afternoon, Saturday By Moose Members
The little Blue Crutch lapel tag,
symbol in the past of the needs of
polio patients, will be token hope
for many persons handicapped by
other ailments during the 1959
March of Dimes, Vernon Powell,
campaign director for lower Laur
ens County, declared yesterday.
The tags this year will identify
donors to the expanded National
Foundaiton program of continued
polio aid plus a new medical assault
on arthritis' and birth defects and
basic research. They will be sold
by volunteers at busy intersections,
other street comers, shopping areas,
and elsewhere.
"While March of Dimes contri
butions made the Salk polio vaccine
a shining reality, our chapters still
have 50,000 of the polio-crippled on
their rolls,” the campaign director

to admit that it’s a fool law.”
Read the Act and see for your

While Winthrop, Clemson, The
Citadel, Carolina—and all other
State services beg and plead and
wonder where a dollar can be
found, Santee-Coper arranges to
borrow $36,000,000. For what? To
promote the water power or devel
op natural resources? Not at all;
but to build a gigantic steam plant
in or near Conway. There is no
sense in being mealy-mouthed; this
is Socialism.

In Delaware, where spedal

the problem of the drinking

ports and intoximeter tests
show thst 40.4 percent of sD
drivers involved in traffic fa

A test of 60 volunteers, rs-
K rted by the Council, revealed
st drinking seriously impairs
both judgment and nation
time.
After the 35 men and 15
women volunteers had first been
tested for driving ability, each
drank an ounce of whiskey for
every 80 pounds of body weight
(In other words, a 150 pound
man consumed five drinks.)
Forty-five minutes later, the
volunteers were retested with
these results:

SKILLED FINGERS
As the skillful fingers of the surgeon work, prayers are
on the lipa of loved ones. Although there it faith in tfie
knowledge and skill of the surgeon, a// rtaHx* Goft fitly

Eventually most men realize that skill and science are
not enough. Even those of us who haven’t been to church
services for a long, Aong time find ourselves instinctively
saying, “Please, God,” when we face a crisis.
Why wait until then? God’a providential help ia needed
by everyone—In time of crisis and in making the constant
decisions of evsryday life.
