THE VALLEY FRONTIERSMANe

A A4A AAAAA4A| ! X ASOAN X AA1ASkIAV46AAN'
 In reply to CHRIS editorial in the Valley Settler regarding the proposed telephone coop, may I set forth some facts:
 Yes, there can be better tele- phone service and we the pres ent system, the Matanuska Valley Telephone Go. Inc, now are pre- pared to give it.
 It is true that we never were properly financed. We started our system in the only way it could be started in a new, undeveloped and unorganized community.
 The service we have furnished while it left much to be desired, nevertheless was better than Palmer and the Valley could sup port at that time and since indi- cations of future growth were not positive enough to warrant ex- penditure of large sums at that time, l, on the very best telephone engineering advice, continued to operate as we were until the ex- tent of growth could be determin- ed with reasonable accuracy.
 The Valley now has reached the stage of development for which we have been waiting since we began operation here, and we are ready to greatly expand and improve our service.
 What happens? Certain inter ests, seeing we are about to ac- complish what they once consid- cred impossible, propose that you give-that's the proper word, give $70-to a Coop which will in turn borrow hundreds of thousands of your money and mine to set up a competing tele- phone system and run me, a pri vate enterprise-who has, with the help of my wife, single-hand- edly pioneered telephone com munications in the Valley-out of business.
 Our system was at no time paralyzed. Even during winds up to 100 miles an hour, less than 10 percent of our lines were inoper- ative and when the winds died down that percentage was inn mediately cut in half. l do not believe any type of construction except underground wiring could

Canada Ford Pickefs
Try 10 Keep Sheriff
From Taking Mo|ds
BY the Associated Press

WINDSOR, Ontario, Dec. 49,
Two hundred, angry pickets tried
last night to keep a sheriff from
taking tractor molds from the
plant of the Ford Motor Co. OF
Canada, where production en-
ployes have been on strike since
December 8.
Union officials finally persuaded
the pickets to disperse.
Removal of the tractor molds
which we're wanted by the parent
Ford company in the United
States. was ordered yesterday by
the Ontario Supreme Court.
B. A. E. Close, Essex County
sheriff, went to the plant for the
molds. He was accompanied by
officials of the company and the
striking union.
The pickets were led by yelling
group of about a dozen men. A
Windsor Daily Star reporter said
he was manhandled.
About 10000 workers are on
strike, with no agreement yet
sighted on the strike issues. The
men quit to force reinstatement of
26 workers, fired by the company
on the ground they were ringlead-
ers Of an earlier work stoppage.
An underlying cause of the
walkout was failure to reach a new
wage agreement to replace one
which expired last May. Pay
scales still are based on the old
contract. paying $1.32 an hour

Girl, II, Tells of Uphill Struggle
With Cerebral Palsy on WMAL
PortioIIy PoroIyzed
Since Birth, Happy
Child Inspires Others

A little girls increasingly VIC
torious battle against the handi-
caps Of cerebral palsy was to be
told to Washington radio and
television audiences today.
In town for an appearance on
Ruth Cranes WMAL radio pro-
gram (11:30 a.m) and Miss
Cranes WMAL-TV show 6 p.m.)
is 12-year-old Diane Mcdonald. a
bright, happy child who in her
own way is doing much to i'm
prove the outlook for cerebral
palsy victims.
Diane is accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Rhea Mcdonald. a
guiding spirit behind the remark
able work being done for cerebral
palsy victims around her Bergen
County, N. j., home.
DANES right leg and left arm
have been partially paralyzed due
to cerebral palsy since birth. The
disease, which medical science
began to recognize and under
stand a comparatively short time
ago, is caused by destruction Of
brain cells. In Danes case, 1t
was an injury at birth which
caused her brain to lose the
ability to communicate" with
certain muscles in her arm and
leg.
When her child's condition was
diagnosed Mrs. Mcdonald set out
to do the only thing possible toI
help her daughter. Through
rigorous, firing and oftentimesI
disappointing exercises, others oil
DANES brain cells were trained toI
do the job of the damaged ones.
Diane can walk almost normal-l
ly now. She still falls OCCASIONAL
ly, but not nearly as often as
during those trying years when
her muscles were not as dis
ciplined.
With the improvement in
Danes condition, Mrs. Mcdonald
banded together with other moth
ers of cerebral palsied children to
establish a clinic where they could
receive supervised therapy. The
Bergen County Cerebral Palsy
Clinic, built mainly by volunteer
labor after the enthusiastic moth
ers rallied county industrialists
and labor leaders, now has 100
patients. Even more could be ac-
commodated if there were enough
trained therapists to teach them.
Diane, through her example of I
near victory over the disease, has
been an inspiration to the other
children.
DANES influence was broadened
several weeks ago when her story
and that of her mother-was told
in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Since then, mother and daughter
have appeared on radio programs
and at civic groups, preaching
their own optimistic gospel that
there is. after all, a lot of hope
for the cerebral palsied.
