A Tribute to Roy M. Brown

A full-page picture Of Roy M.
Brown, accompanied by tribute from
Howard w. Odum, appears on the
front cover of Public Welfare News"
quarterly published in Raleigh by
the North Carolina State Board Of
Public Welfare.
Mr.. Brown, former head of the
University division Of public welfare
and social work, is described by Mr..
Odum as a man who "has symbolized
most of the supreme values that 60
into the making of an enduring
civilization" After enumerating some
Of Mr.. Browns many activities and
achievements in this state and on
nationwide scale, Mr.. Odum says:
"In the richness Of his experience
must surely be found a measure Of
satisfaction which nothing can take
away. We know that from his
youth up there have been his deep
spiritual aspirations, his insight into
the joys and sorrows of a rich span
of years which so far transcend our
formal descriptions as TO make them
almost commonplace; dozen times.
a hundred times, thousand times,
perhaps, the measure Of value and
morale would be found in the calm
and outward poise of great person
ality struggling within with such fire
and temper and tension as to seem
to defy control. Our tribute to Roy
Brown is for all this, but especially
to mans great spirit who has
gained much of the world and con-
trihuted more to it without even in
the least losing his own SOUL"

March of Dimes Campaign is Great Success;
!. Exceeds It's $500 Goal by at Least $1,000

ysis is given in a letter recently
sent to the Charlotte News by
Is parents of polio victims. 1t
says in part:
when this dreaded disease
laid its hand on our loved ones,
the National Foundatio o n,
through its Mecklenburg chap
ter, Immediately took charge,
and the very best Of care was
given them by doctors, nurses,
and physio- -therapists who were
all well trained by the Founda-
tion in the care of polio patients.
Because of this expert care,
many are now able to walk and
lead normal lives.
"The National Foundation, or
anyone connected with it, has
never asked us to reimburse
them for any part of the thou
sands of dollars spent on our
loved ones. We did not have to
ask the Foundation to help us.
They were ready and willing
when we needed them. Each of
us gave to the Foundation be-
cause we are so thankful for
the care our loved ones receiv-
ed, and are still receiving, and
want to be assured that the
Foundation can continue to
help those who will need them
in the future"

One of the most successful
March of Dimes campaigns ever
held in Orange county is near
ing its close with more than $1O,-
500. to show for the hard work
put in by Chairman E. C. Smith
and his assistants. This tops the
$500 goal by 81. 900, with some
money still not yet turned in.
Mr.. Smith said yesterday that
collections may reach $1,000
by the time final reports have
come in from all over the coun-
ty.
In announcing the results of
the drive, Mr.. Smith said: I'D
like to thank everybody who
made this glorious campaign
possible. Especially the people
who gave the money. While ! am
grateful to those who helped in
the drive, it is the givers who
really count. Without their gen.
erous spirit, our March of Dimes
would not have been a success"
The money raised here and in
other similar drives through
out the nation will be used to
fight infantile paralysis and to
provide hospital care for its
victims as long as they need it.

administered by the National

On Transit Service

Delegates to the Northeast
Council of Citizens Associations
last night learned to their relief
that the Capital Transit Co. plans
no service changes In the area
at this time.
The council invited z. Cleve-
hand Giddings, vice president Of

mors of bus changes In the area. /"

Giddings ne understood an ex-
tensive survey was underway In
the Northeast area.
Mr.. Giddings allayed the asso-
Citations fears by explaining that
the survey mentioned is only a
part of the routine studies the
company pursues at all times.
"We have no reroutings in this
area in mind" he said.
In other business. the group
voted to send q letter to the Dis
trict Commissioners inquiring
about the present. status OF the
New York avenue extension east
of Bladensburg road. L. M. Green.

nue. has not been extended there

by Philip A. Dolan. vice presi-
dent.
