Polio Victim,

Continued from Page One
hospital bill, alone, amounted to
more than $4,000 for Dana and
he would have had to sacrifice
every thing he owned if the
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis had not taken care of the
majority Of the bills. After
every collar in the Noble county
fund was gone, the Morrisons
received help from the National
Foundation.
81 don't know what we would
have done without the help and
encouragement of the Infantile
Paralysis Foundation" said Mrs.
Morrison, ''it gave US the cour-
age to see this thing thru, and
believe me, it hasn't been easy"
added the father.
Neighbors and friehds of this
Elk township family know that
''it hasn't been easy" but what
Howard Morrison wants to en-
phasize is the fact that they
were helped very much by the
Foundation, which is supported
solely by the annual March of
Dimes campaign.
AS for Dana, he's a real hero
and it is necessary to meet the
boy to appreciate his wonderful
spirits. Since the family got a
television set, he spends a good
many hours watching TV shows,
and his favorite are quiz pro-
grams and football games. He
has three sisters, Lucille, Joan
and Sally. He goes along with
the family 70 basketball games
and never misses Sunday school
at the Crum Ridge church.
Paul Kelby, teacher in the Elk
township schools, gives him pri-
Vate tutoring at home and Dana
is now in the seventh grade.
He is now outfitted in com
plete braces and spends a half
