POLIO HITS ALL AGES;
AL, GIVEN HELP

They're neither too young nor
too old to get polio. But DR.. John
S. Anderson was a little skeptical
Wnen he was called to treat a
spry gentleman of S6-Mr. Sven
Williamson of Dannebrog, Neb.--
1fcr polio
On August 81, 1949 Nebraska
was in the midst of a hot spell.
Mr.. williamson went for a refresh
ing swim. Later in the day he had
chills and that evening he really
felt sick. He was taken to the St.
Francis Hospital at Grand Island,
Neb., where several doctors made
4 number of tests and established
the fat that Williamson had polio.
He is the oldest person on record
TO get the disease.
The Howard County Chapter of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis financed the nee
essary treatment for its Oldest pa
tent Unlike most adults who get
polio, Mr.. Williamson had a very
light case, which left him only
slightly paralyzed. Still doing his
exercises to keep in trim, Sven
Williamson today is as fit as ever
and locking forward to his eighty
ninth birthday.
At the other extreme, Wendy
Woods of Long Island, N. Y, is
the youngest patient to have had
polio. A few weeks before Wendy
was born, her mother felt ill, but
there was nothing to indicate that
Mrs. Woods had polio. When little
Wendy was the only five days old,
however, she got infantile pa
ralysis. For a month, Wendy was
in New York Hospital under the
cafe of DR.. William Laupus, resi-
dent in pediatrics.
A year old on October IA, 1851,
Wendy still has weak arm from
her attack of polio but she's fol-
lowing a course of physical therapy
to minimize it.
Since the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis was estab-
lished in 1888, some $4,000 chill

HOLLYWOOD-A downtown cir .
Gus parade involving more than 5O,.
900 people took place in Sarasota,

leaders, representing hundreds OF
thousands of Negro and white wom-
Ell and men in both Northern and
Southern states, urged the Georgia
Pardon and Parole Board at pub
lie hearing en- Monday, January
| IA, to free Mrs. Rosa Lee Ingram
and her two sons.
The women included representa-
tves of such varied organizations
AS the Georgia Council of Church
Women and the Atlanta Council
of Church Women, both white or
ganizaticns; the NAACP and the
National Headquarters of the Civil
Rights Congress; the Atlanta
Metropolitan Council and the Ma
tional Council of Negro Women;
the Sojourners for Truth and JUS
tice, national Negro women's or
ganization; District 65 Cf the Dis
tributive Workers of America, the
United Church Women of New
York, and the Militant Church
Movement of Louisville, Ky.
The main plea for the freedom
of Mrs. Ingram and her sons, Wal
lace and Sammie Lee, was deliv-
cred by A. T. Walden, NAACP at
rcney, who recently filed the ap-
peal for parole.
The eyes of many SPECTATORS
moistened with tears in the jammed
/ hearing room as one speaker after
another rose and asked the Geor-
gia Pardon and Parole Board to
/ grant freedom to the Ingrams VINO
have been sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for defending Mrs. In
! grams honor against white farm
er's assault.
Strongly and resolutely, Mrs. A.
A. Hardy white, of Thomaston,
Ga, president of the Georgia
Council of Church Women; Mrs.
Srann w. Miner, white, president
of it's Atlanta Council; and Mrs.
Julia Pate Borders, representing
the Council of Negro Women urged
that Mrs Ingram be freed to re-
turn home to her children.
In a statement on behalf of the
Civil Rights Congress, Mrs. Bea-
trice Goodloe, speaking "a sa Ne
gro and as a woman" told the
Parole Board:
"The Civil Rights Congress
wished to go on record in sup
port of the petition filed by the
NAACP for the freedom of Mrs.
Rosa Lee Ingram and her sons.
More and more, Americans have
come to see that every case like
this one, every lynching, murder
by sheriff or police, every act Of
! terror like those in Florida and
Cicero-all of this we now see as
parts of a government policy of
genocide, deliberate killings of the
Negro people"
Speaking for the United Church
Women was Mrs. Ada B. Jackson,
noted New York Negro civic lead
er; for the Scjourners for Truth,
Mrs. Sonora B. Lawson of Rich
mond, Va; for the Militant Church
Movement, Mrs. Alberta Ahearn,
white member of Louisville's Ne
grc-white Militant Church Move
ment. Valerie Robinson, Negro,
Committe of District 65, represent
ed Distributive Workers Union.
After quilting the legal history
of the four-year old case, A. T.
Walden told the Board: "You know
ard 1 know that there is no free
dom for the Negro people in Geor-
gia What would have hap
pened if this case were the other

Through the swirling snow I could barely see
three towers; the top of the highest was hidden
in the gray, afternoon light. Snow covered my
shoulders and drifted around my boots as I
stood there hoping to hear the bells ring from
the belfry of that highest tower. Once in while
I saw a man or woman, her head and shoulders
wrapped in large, black shawl, slip in through
the large doors at the side of the Church
The wide, oaken door took both hands to
swing open. A faraway murmur of low voices

dim, candle-it aisles of the church. Many hopes
must have been brought here by kings and
queens, but many by humber people. I
wondered how many had had hopes for peace
and 1 put my hopes with theirs.

Among the treasured memories
of Christmas are the contributions
in writing which no matter how
old, are always new. The Christ
mas Story should certainly be
read in every family every Christ
mas Season.
In the Gospel of Luke, the Sec
ond chapter, from verse six con-
Guiding with the 21st, there is
found the most beautiful short
story ever written-told in 322
simple words, only IL of them be-
ing adjectives. 1t is the relating
of the event 1000 years ago which
has continued to challenge the at
titudes and thinking of men ever
since.
Christmas should and can be
the most blessed day of the whole

feeling of expectancy and mem
cries and we join crippled Tiny
