Group May Quit
Mrs. Lowe Planning
To Resign District
Society Post

Two members OF the Board OF
Directors of the District Society OF
Crippled Children have resigned
following a secret meeting Tuesday
night at which reporters were barred
and told nothing of proceedings.
Those withdrawing from the group
were DR.. Ella Oppenheimer, director
of the Health Departments Bureau
of Maternal and Child Welfare, and
DR.. Montgomery Blair, director of
Children's Hospital.
Both said today they do not want
to comment at this time on the
reasons for their designations. But
it was known that the designations
came as the climax to the struggle
for reorganization within the
society.
A third board member. Mrs. c
D. Lowe, who is a member of the
board of the National Society foi
Crippled Children and president oi
the District tuberculosis Associa-
tion, also said she plans to resign
because she doesn't want to be a
party to the way the District So
ciety operates"
Warned to Re-organize.
The society. which serves children
crippled by brain injuries, is sup
ported by the public sale Of Easter
Seals. This years campaign brought
in something more than $4,000.
The national group, on May IL
gave the local society so days to re-
organize or face expulsion from the
national organization. This move
followed the resignation Of number
of employees and a string Of protests
from parents of some of the handi-
capped children. The parents were
disturbed over the way the society's
work was being handled.
All efforts to find out just what
the local society intended to dc
about the national group ultimatun
met with rebuffs after the Tuesday
meeting.
Annual Report Cited.
One board member. Tom Grant
told reporters the public could "reac
our annual report" when reminded
that since the Easter sale brought
in more than $50.000 the citizens hae
some interest in what was going on
DR.. Oppenheimer, DR.. Blair ant
Mrs. Lowe are known to be member
of a minority group within the So
ciety which has urged putting tn
society on a more businesslike basis
working more actively with the com
munity and deciding definitel.
whether the society should run +,
ful-scale treatment center.
On DR.. Oppenheimer's motion. thu
society voted On May II to accep
the offer of the national society tt
send an expert here to assist in tn
reorganization. 8e
Subsequently, Mrs. Beulah Drake
president of the local society, sais
she had not forwarded the society;
request for an expert because sh'
had aother plans" These plans wer'
discussed at the closed Tuesda!
night meeting.
Mrs. Lowe said that. although sh'
is a member of the Executive Com
mittee within the board, she ha!
been completely in the dark or
what is being done.
She explained that she is holding
up her resignation for the 60-day
period given by the national society
She said she did not believe the
local society would carry through
the reorganization demanded by thu
national group. but as a member o.
the national board, she felt COM
mitted to wait out the so days.

behind the counter. They were
busy, as every small-town store
IS on Saturday afternoon.
There were the sturdy farmers.
buying carefully and largely. and
the local trade. stopping to peer
and talk and joke This, thought
Ad, is my heritage: haywood and
what it holds and what it stands
for. Things could build themselves
upon that foundation things like
a home and children and grand
children.
At that instant Paula brushed
by him on her way to the cash
register and what he d been feeling
hung in the air, swinging slowly
back and forth between them like
a pendant. He saw Ben put out
restraining hand as she came up
the aisle, then Ben's arm went
around her shoulder and he in
troduced her to a customer. Ad
turned back to work.
After while the hurry lessened,
and the customer Ad was waiting
on went out. A little silence sifted
down. and Ad suddenly realized he
was alone. Pondering. he stood
there till a murmur from the store
room broke the stiffness. Going to
the doorway, he saw Paula and
Ben sitting at the desk. Ben was
talking in his soft. thoughtful way,
and Paula nodded. Once Ben said
something, and they grinned at
each other; then their laughter
came. deep and comfortable. Ad
returned quietly to the store.
AT SIX O'clock they all crowded
into the front seat of Ads car and
rode home. There was something
about being honestly weary. about
coming home from work to a clean,
cool house that excited Ad for the
first time, and he hung back, try
ing to piece possibilities together.
Ben disappeared into the house,
and Paula stopped to examine the
vines growing in stone urns on
each side of the porch steps. Ad
looked at her shining hair, and the
blitheness that had once been be-
tween them came rushing back to
him in exultant flashes - the abb
surd little things they'd eaten at
absurd little restaurants, the per
feet way they danced together, the
way her eyes would go over his
