SANDERS JOY, SADNESS It was a good Christmas for most people we know—the joy of the season was expressed in church worship services, in family get-togethers, in tradi tional gift giving under the gaily decorated tree. While it was a good Christ mas for our family — we all managed to keep going despite the ’flu which has been ram pant hereabouts, there was also sadness in our neighborhood and in many homes throughout the city, for our good friend and neighbor, I). 0.

'..lid' March of Dimes campaign begins cation ('ommitt'e that the ( ity looted Under the banner of “A Hap pier New Year" at birth for every child, preparations were completed today in Newberry for the January fund-raising campaign of the March of Dimes against birth defects. Marking the actual kickoff was the issuance of a Procla mation earlier today by Mayor Clarence R. Shealy. In brief re marks Mayor Shealy stressed the importance of the March of Dimes fund campaign and ex pressed thanks to the Newber ry Jaycees annually sponsor ing thus community effort. Elliott D. (Duby) Thompson, March of Dimes campaign ehair- m a n , expressed satisfaction over campaign plans for the County, including the response from prospective volunteer workers. He saui that he was ‘‘optimistic that funds collected would exceed the total raised here last year. “The nod is urgent," he ex plained, “because we know now there is hope—through re search and treatment—to over come the devastating toll birth defects claim annually in our country. Modern medicine holds the promise of preventing many of tlio physical and mental af flictions which now strike 250, 000 American >> infants each year. '* Examples of this progress are two new vaccines, one to prevent Rh disease due to blood differences between mother and baby, and the other, new being tested, to prevent German measles which often cripples babies whose mothers contract the disease during pregnancy. "Throughout the nationwide network of more than 100 Birth Defects Centers supported hy the March of Dimes," Mr. Thompson emphasized, "re search and treatment progress has been made. During January we are seeking money to insure that this vital work continues.” VOLUNTEERS WANTED An appeal for volunteers to enlist in the March of Dimes drive in January against birth defects in Newberry and the na tion was issued today hy Elliott D. (Duby) Thompson, Cam paign chairman. Mr. Thompson said that men, wHrmen and teen - agers were immediately needed to perform “interesting and highly worth while tasks in the community.
