victim of cerebral palsy but his
general physical condition is
described as good.
Mrs. Breese has been a Moth
ers' Marcher for the annual
March of Dimes.
"My husband and I are deep
Iy grateful that at last some
thing constructive is being
done about birth defects" she
says. 1--WE pray that The
National Foundation which,
through public contributions to
the March of Dimes, financed
the development of the Salk
polio vaccine, will in time also
solve the puzzle of birth de-
fects, which are the largest
unmet childhood medical prob

Emphasizing the enormity of
the problem, Mrs. Breese cit

600 infants in the United
States are born annually with
significant birth defects. Also,
because of these congenital
malformations, $4,000 babies a

Linda Gail Breese, a pic
torial and high-spirited
young lady of four, who
lives in Columbus, Ohio.
was named this week as the
1861 New March of Dimes
National Poster Child.
Selection of the vivacious
child, a victim of the grave
birth defects of an open spine
and excess fluid on the brain,
was announced by Basil O'Con-
nor, president of The National
Foundation, parent body of the
New March of Dimes. Study
and patient aid in birth de-
fects and arthritis, together
with continued work in polio,
embody the expanded program
of the health organization.
In January, during which
the New March of Dimes will
be nelQ tnrOuSnOuL tHe lldtlO!l,
Linda will probably feel she is
facing mirrors everywhere she
travels. That's because millions
of posters will bear her like
ness which, in drawings and
photographs, will also be pub
lished in thousands of news
papers and magazines. The
blonde and blue-eyed child will
also appear on network tele-
vision.
Linda's parents are Mr.. and
Mrs. Dean E. Breese. Her father
is an industrial engineer. Her
mother, Dorothy Lohr Breese,
in addition to Linda has an
other daughter, Susan, IA, and
two sons, Ronnie, IL, and Terry,
