Small Birth Defect Victim Is
A Prop As Mother Lectures

Kathy Houle, of Mt. Clemens,
Mich, a pretty blue-eyed bru-
nette "going on FIVE" poses
today with perfect self-com-
mand as her schoolteacher
mother lectures on the heart
breaking topic of birth defects.
Kathy doesn't mind being one
of her mothers lecture props"
Mother and daughter are dedi-
Gated to the proposition that
since 100000 infants are born
yearly with significant birth
defects-and $4,000 babies an
nually are stillborn or die
within the first month because
of birth defects-the more
widely the subject is discussed,
the healthier for the nation.
The National Foundation,
which financed the develop
ment of both the Salk and
Sabin polio vaccines, is now
supporting research and patient
care for birth defects and ar
thrills through the New March
of Dimes.
Kathy has ample reason for
her devotion to the cause en-
braced by her mother and her
self. The child was born with
the forbidding birth defects of
an one spine and excess fluid
on the brain. When only weeks
old, Kathy underwent major
surgery three times.
Doctors told the parents:
enjoy the baby while you can.
She may not be with you for
long"
1t was a miracle that Kathy
survived. But since she did,
both the child and her grateful
mother, Mrs. William w. Houle,
a Michigan grade school teach
er, want to shed light on this
often taboo" subject.
"Tens of thousands of moth
ers are mistakenly ashamed of
having given birth to a mall
formed infant" Mrs. Houle
says. "Tragically, many parents
hide these innocent children
away from public view-in-
stead of seeking medical adj
vice and therapy.
"When Kathy and I set out

tivities, school citizenship,
and leadership qualities of the
students will be evaluated
along with their scores on the
tests.
About May l, the names of
the Merit Scholars will be an
nounced, the exact number
depending in the extent of
sponsor support Of the Merit
Program.
All. Finalists will receive
Certificates Of Merit attesting
to their high ability and all
colleges and universities will
be informed Of their names.
This enables these students to
be considered for a wide
range of other awards. Stud
les show that more than so
per cent obtain scholarship
assistance from other sources.
Each Merit Scholarship is
a four-year award to cover
the undergraduate college
years. The recipients stipend
is tailored to his need. Sti-
ponds have been averaging
about $3.50 a year.
For students who require
financial assistance, awards
may reach a maximum of
$500 per year. For students
who already possess financial
resources which will enable
them to attend the college of
their choice, awards of 500
a year are granted.
The minimum stipend is a
form of educational insur-
ance" for the student who re-
ceives it, because the amount
will be increased at any time
while he is in college if there
is a significant change in his
family's financial situation.
Finalists designate the col
lege they wish to attend and
the course of study they plan
to pursue. The colleges chosen
by the Merit Scholars in
most instances also receive
Standardization grants rang
ing up to $500 per year to help
defray the actual costs of
educating the students.

gram is now in its sixth year.

SQUIRREL HUNTING
G.

The state = wide squirrel
hunting season opens with a
good squirrel population, and
hunting conditions favor the
hunters in most sections of
the state . The squirrel crop
this year is reported to equal
or exceed last years crop
when the squirrel population
was at it's highest level in five
years. Widespread rainfall
has favored food production,
and squirrels are already cut
ting acorns and other mast.
A heavy squirrel crop is re-
ported in the lower Delta Sec
ton.

from parents and teachers
through the school years.
The reason that boys and
girls and schools give for
dropouts are about the same:
lack of success in school work,
not drawn to the school by
participation in extra cur
ricular activities, not in an
accepted group of fellow stu
dents and a feeling they are
ignored by teachers.

The Houle-Kathy lecture
Circuit" includes parent-teach-
err groups, and associations of
school principals. The audience
for this unique mother-and-
daughter team is expanding.
They can't fill all the requests
for bookings.
Kathy, described by her doc
tors as Strong and healthy to-
day. despite a bladder involv-
ment due to the spinal defect,
gets around nimbly on her
crutches and leg braces. She
has all the traits of any normal
child of her age and is devoted
to her two collies, to her ador-
ing brother Douglas, seven, and
to her dolls, in that eccentric
order.
Holmes County herald., 1960-10-06

on our lecture tours to adults,
we describe in detail such birth
defects as an open spine and
excess fluid on the brain. These
and other such major birth de-
fects are the largest unmet
childhood medical problem in
the United States today.
"'Then, we tell parents that
they rarely need fear having
a second defective child be-
cause birth defects are not al
ways hereditary. But when
Kathy and l talk to groups of
small fry, we concentrate on
persuading the youngsters not
to shun Handicapped children
which with thoughtless cruelty
they often do. And not to be
afraid of them"

Joe Ting|e> k. Is Semi-FinoIist
In National Merit Competition

Principal w. T. Schneider of
Lexington High School an
nounced that one of the
schools students have been
named Semifinalists in the
1960-61 National Merit Scho-
larship competition. He is Joe
Tingle, Jr., son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Tingle, Sr.
These Semifinalists are "a
mong the 10000 high scoring
students on the National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test,
a test of educational develop
ment given in more than 49,
900 high schools last spring.
The Semifinalist group is
composed of the highest scor-
ing students in each state
and in United States terri
tories.
E a h Semifinalist now
moves a step closer to win
ming a four-year Merit Scho-
larship to the college of his
choice.
John M. Stalnaker, pres
ident Of the National Merit
S c h 0 la r ship Corporation,
which conducts the annual
program, stated that Merit
+, Semifinalists represent the
most promising brains in the
nation. From this group of
able, attractive students will
| come the scholars and intel
lectual leaders of tomorrow"
Mr.. Stalnaker warned a.
gainst comparing schools in
the basis of the number of
Semifinalists in each.
1.-THE awards are given to
students" he emphasized.
Several factors combin
to make a winner. While good
schooling is one such factor,
it is not the only one. Parents,
friends, and the community
all play an important part.
Comparing schools on the
single yardstick of the num-
Der of Semifinalists in each
| school can lead to unfair and
unwarranted conclusions.
1.-THE development of talent
is a complex matter. Regard
less of how talent is produced,
we must recognize it and en-
courage it's further develop
ment."
The Semifinalists will take
another rigorous examination,
the three-hour Scholastic Tptl-
tude Test of the College En-
trance Examination Board, to
he given in testing centers
throughout the nation on De-
cember 3, 1860.
Students whose scores on
the second test Substantiate
their performance on the
qualifying test and who are
endorsed by their high schools
will become Finalists in the
competition. In past years,
more than 95 per cent of the
Semifinalists have become
Finalists.
AS Finalists, the students
will be eligible for scholarship
awards sponsored by lis bust
ness and industrial organiza-
tons, professional societies,
foundations, individuals, and
the National Merit Scholar
ship Corporation itself.

competition, the high school

Don't knock The Rock"
That was the battle cry of
Colavito fans during Rocky's
off-season salary wrangle with
F~ank Lane. general manager
Of the Indians. Lane apparently
got the word because Rocky re-
c-ived a salary increase Of IS
!. cent to $35, 900.
9 But Colavito was repeatedly
ia r $4,000 and he grudgingly
, s.ined for less.
| Now it's The Rock who's do
ing the knockin-with the same
big bat that hit ~ home runs
last year to share the Ameri-
can League lead with darmon
Killebrew of Washington.
At Tucson. Ariz., yesterday
Colavito homered for two runs
in the sixth inning as the In
dians came from behind lor a
4-3 victory over the Chicago
Cubs. 1t was Rocky's fourth
homer in five games.
Rocky hit 81 homers in 1856
when he played 10l games with
the Indians. He had Is in 1857
and II in 1858 when he played
full seasons.
Bob Lemon Hammered
But while the Indians, who
flashed second to Chicago in
the American League last sea-
son. were 1cheered by Rocky's
continued socking, there was
disappointment in the pitching
of veteran Bob Lemon, who is
trying a comeback.
Lemon, who seven times won
20 games or more for the In
dians, is 80 now and officially
listed as a coach. but he has
expressed hope he might re-
gain his once fine form.
But yesterday wasn't his day.

all their runs in the first three
innings. Lou johnson doubled
twice of him and Ernie Banks
