Race Looms

SEAT HELD BY SEN

| }p tallahassee, Feb. g. =
WIZ n the qualifying deadline fell
lasiA week in the race to fill the
senatorial seat soon to be vacated
Thy U. S. Senator Chas. o. An
drews, Florida democrats were
faced with what promises to be
one of the most holly contested
democratic senatorial campaigns
IN the history of the state.
As the deadline fell, Broward
County's Mrs. Polly Rose Balfe,
former Democratic National Com
mitteewoman, and first woman
candidate for the senate in Flor
ida's history, was not the least
dismayed by the fight which
promises to develop against her
three male opponents: Lex Green,
former Congressman; Henry
Burch, Orlando real estate brok-
er, just back from the army, and
former Governor Spessard L.
Holland.
1t may develop into veterans
campaign, with the men back
from World War II figuring prom
ipently in the voting. Holland
was in World War ! and Green
1enly recently was released from
the Navy Of World, War II, in
which he enlisted after Willard
Caldwell defeated him for the
governorship. Burch, a real es-
tate agent, was World War II
sergeant. Past records show that
Mrs. Bale is a veteran in the
field of politics, with the ability
to take stock Of the existing sit
uation and orientate her program
on the requirements presented by
the complexities involved.
What may have otherwise been
a colorless contest between old
timers in the political arena, US
ing the same old dogma of po-
litical dramatics will now take on
a brilliance of tone through this
new note in an old game-three
men against one woman.
The first statement made by
Mrs. Balfe as she rolled up her
sleeves to enter the fray against
her three male opponents was
Let's go, The battles on and
may the. best manor woman
Win!" Which certainly is Amer
lean in tone and a spirited cam
raign cry in this. heated contest
for the senatorial seat. 81,

CLASSIFY .'I)y
IT TOOK TWELVE STEPS, TO-DAY"
BY RUSSELL KAY

ralytic victim a bit and brighten
it ever so slightly, we will enrich
our own lives and experience
that inner glow of happines that
always at ends any act that is I'M
selfish and is helpful to a less
fortunate fellow being.
The pitiful thing about infan-
tile paralysis is the fact that it
more often attacks the helpless
child, the boy or girl, with a full
life ahead of them. No one knows
the suffering and agony they go
through for their world is shrunk-
en-. They are called on for extra
fortitude, they have to dig down
and down for that added courage
necessary to keep plugging ahead.
II is that indomitable courage that
should be our inspiration, just as
Iii was Don's to do something for
them Perhaps we cannot all
write a "poem'i but we can con-
tribute from the abundance that
is ours, that they may have a bit
more care and attention.
Twelve steps, the letter said.
Il took.twelve steps, today"
And you and ], we take hundreds
and often grippe because we are
Required to walk a block or so. II
seems that until that privilege is
taken from us we cannot appre-
ciate our blessing at being able
to walk as many steps as we
choose. But, oh, what those prec-
ious steps mean to one who for
long has been denied them.
Throughout this land of ours
are thousands of little sufferers
who eagerly await the day when
they too can write, Il took twelve
steps today" They appeal to
you and to all of us more FORUM
ate to give them a helping hand.
Let's underwrite those steps,
not just twelve, but millions OF
them. While the steps you take
may seem insignificant and val
ueless, they are priceless to the
infantile paralysis victim. Who
can place a price on these first
twelve steps told about in this
lads letter to Don?
You can make such steps pos
sible for other sufferers. Your
dimes and dollars contributed
now to the March of Dimes" will
do just that. Don't call that taxi
walk the six blocks and count
your steps, bordering as you dc
so on your good fortune at being
able to walk them and then con-
tribute the amout you would have
paid in fare, plus a generous tip
TO the March of Dimes.
Then somewhere, sometime, a
courageous youngster, his or her
little face wreathed in pain, but
eyes bright and shining and little
heart beating frantically with
eager hope, viii be able to say,
Il took twelve steps today.
Good steps, precious steps in
which you viii share.

man Embassy in Washington, testi-
fed today before the District grand
