Dimes Friends
Aid a in Family
FelIed by Polio

A Kansas farmer has discovered
that a good neighbor in time of
need is more valuable than silver
and gold.
Robert Stahl and his family
were saved from heartache and
tragedy by the action OF good
neighbors.
Stahl, his wife and four chill
dren were busy on their 127-acre
farm near Wichita, Kans. last
Summer-getting set for the fall
harvesting when polio struck.
First, little 3-year-old Troy
came down with the disease. Then
Ronald, who is 10, contracted
polio. A few days later, Charles,
II, and Patsey, IA, also went on
the sick list.
Finally, Mrs. Stahl herself was
afflicted.
The whole family was moved
to st. Francis hospital, Wichita,
leaving Stahl alone on his farm.
For while, he didn't know
what to do. The financial burden
had been lifted through March of
Dimes funds but the burden of
work remained.
Then his neighbors volunteered
to take over his farm until the
family was out of danger.
These neighbors pitched in and
Stahl went to town. For days,
he kept vigil at the bedsides of
his wife and children.
With the continued help of that
other good neighbor, the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
SIS, the family began to improve.
Stahl went back to his farm
cOmf0rted by the knowledge that
his family was being cared for.
His neighbors had done a won
derful job Of keeping things going
on the farm. So he was able to
carry on.
Today Mrs. Stahl and three of
the children are fully recovered.
Charles, the 12-year-old, still has
one partially paralyzed leg but
Mrs. Stahl hopes he too will soon
be well.
Then maybe" she said, 'sit'll
all seem like just bad dream"
The National Foundation hopes
SO, too. That's why it has launched
a huge polio prevention program
involving gamma globulin and a
trial vaccine. If the program sue
ceeds, families like the Stahls
may be free of the polio threat
forever

Plea for Delay
On Indignation

The District Commissioners
today refused to hold up their
order for racial indignation of
the Fire Department.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
made the announcement after
today's regular board meeting.
Local So of the International
Fire Fighters Association, which
represents about 800 members
of the local department, yester-
day called on the city heads and
asked that the order be with
drawn at least until after Con-
gress reconvenes and examines
the integration problem. The
union representatives reported
overwhelming opposition of the
rank and file in the department
to racial indignation.
Explaining the Commissioners
decision today. Mr.. Spencer de-
clared:
"We have considered the fire.
mems resolution and have con-
cluded that there is no justifica-
ton to make any change in the
indignation order"
This order took effect Septem-
Der l and directly involves the
transfer of 18 surplus" Negro
fire fighters to white companies
now understaffed.
Fire Chief Willard H. Sutton
has not yet made the actual
transfers. Commissioner Spen-
Ger, who is Immediately respon-
sible for Fire Department mat
tiers, said that he is mot ready
to say" when the first transfer
will be made, but he indicated
it would be "soon."
