Birthday Celebrations
Polio Victims
Do Their Bit
By Margaref Hart,


In the polio wards at Children's
Hospital just now there are about
three dozen of the countless rea-
sons why every one should give as
generously as possible to the fund
to combat infantile paralysis. These
little children are enthusiastic over
the Presidents birthday celebra-
ton. They have been told that the
benefit will assure other little polio
victims the same care and treat
ment that is bringing about their
recovery. Their contribution has
been to pose for pictures to herald
and stress the Importance of the
worthy cause. This they have done
like veterans. When the camera
clicked, serious little faces-some
marked by. suffering lighted
up with appealing smiles. Even the
shyest of the boys came through and
did his part for the cameraman.
So If these little ones confined to
their beds and undergoing treat
ment sometimes rather painful to
bear can do their bit to help-what
about you? If you cannot attend
the balls, contribute to the Mile of
Dimes or buy ticket for one of the
dances and pass it on to a returned
war veteran. The latter you can
do at the various local hotels where
tickets are on sale. II you haven't
the time to make donations in per-
son, mail them to the Infantile Pa
ralysis District of Columbia Chap
ter of the National Foundation in
the District Building.
The three-day celebration mark
Ing the anniversary of the birth of
President Roosevelt and which will
swell the infantile paralysis fund
will get under way today with the
command performance of Dear
Ruth" Tomorrow night the gold
plate dinner will take place at the
Mayf1ower and the following eve
ming the birthday dances will be
given at the various hotels and serv-
ice centers.
Mrs. Roosevelt will add two more
stops to her usual itinerary, accord
ing to a White House release re-
ceived yesterday by Mr.. Thomas
P. Morgan, jr., chairman of the Re
ception and Floor Committee of the
balls. In addition to the hotels and
service center events she will call
briefly at the United Nations Club
and the National Press Club on
making the rounds of the dances.
At the United Nations Club the
main feature will be contributions to
the Mile of Dimes. The entertain
ment at the Press Club has been
arranged for members of the en-
listed personnel of the Marine Corps
and also will feature donations to
the Mile of Dimes
Monday night Mrs. Roosevelt will
relinquish one of her usual official
duties to her youngest daughter-in-
law, Mrs. John Roosevelt, who will
appear at the theaters having mid
night shows for the benefit of the
drive.
Azaleas in many colors and white
pompons from the United States
Botanical Garden will decorate the
ballroom for the dinner. This pro-
fusion of flowers, together with the
flags of the United Nations, which
will be massed back of the speakers
table, will make spectacular set
ting for the brilliant assemblage of

RI Building
in the Shores

ST. CLAIR SHORES - Fire
believed to have started from .
faulty heating uLit Monday
night destroyed the former Ar
Jay trailer camp building, 24600
Jefferson. now owned by the
Michigan Boat Harbor company.
Fire Chief Phillip Eckhout
said that the entire roof and in
terror of the building was gutted
by the blaze which was famed
by . heavy wind.
Starting at 9:27 Monday night
the fire was battled for more
than two hours by Shores fire
men before 1t was brought un-
der control. Chief Eckhout said
that the fire started from q
faulty carburator on the heating
unit.
The building Is owned by
Glenn Schaeffer and Harry
Fives, of Detroit, who purchased
the Ar-Jay property six months
ago from r. j. Williams, Shores
businessman.
The two Detroit businessmen
had planned to develop the prop
erty into modern boat harbor,
complete with a canal and steel
pier. Although the remains of
the building will have to be rip
ped down, the plans for the boat
harbor will be continued.
Approximately $4,000 worth of
damage was caused by the fire,
Chief Eckhout said. He stated
that there is some question as to
whether the two new owners had
any insurance on the property.
Although the building was not
being used at the time of the fire
it was being heated so as to pre-
vent the boilers and pipes in the
building from freezing.
