March of Dimes Aids Child Polio Victim; She Dedicotes Herself 10 Helping Blind
U. S. Navy Phsto

At one despairing point during Mary Jo Phillips seven-year confinement in a hospital near Boston, and while she was an iron-lung prisoner of polio, a nurs- ing nun read aloud to the frightened little girl these words of the tormented Job:
 T was eyes to the blind"
 Mary Jo, herself tormented after seven operations and three months in an iron lung, never forgot Jobs words. At Ken nedy Memorial Hospital, Bright on, a nun and physical thera- pist suggested that since the plight of the blind touched Mary Jo deeply, she might want to try her hand at tran scribing Braiile.
 Nothing interested her more.
 Mary Jos fascination with learning to write for the sight less was healthy in two ways. Physically, the manual effort of applying the Braille awl to the fberboard strengthened her thin arms and fingers once paralyzed by polio. And spiri- tually, this labor of love for those even more terribly af- fiicted than she, expressed her gratitude to God at surviving her own ordeal.
 The first words Mary Jo wrote in Braille, for the blind to read through their finger tips, were those of the unhap- py Job. (The Old Testament patriarch was reminding the Lord of his own succor to those whose eyes had failed-)
 Mary Jo, who is fl and has spent half of those years in hospitals, now is home with her overjoyed parents, Mir. and Mrs. George Phillips of Whit man, Mass. In her wheel chair, the child continues her plucky fight today against the ravages of bulbar polio.
 With S32,000 in March of Dimes contributions, The Ma tional Foundation has brought Mary Jo along to the point where she can type slowly, write, paint water colors, dress herself with just little help," " and even walk a few steps sup ported by her crutches.
 But above all, the little girl is devoted to her labors with Braille. When she completes the "bible" that is never far from her, Standard English

Our

Say.

Dear Sir:
In your editorial May 26, "Signs
of Maturity" which reads in part,
"There are many Jews in the
Phoenix area who are unaffilat-
ed. - I am reminded of an old
cliche, Business goes where it is
invited and stays where it is
treated right"
Since it is evident that many
do not care, then the temples and
synagogues should.
If it could be learned who the
strangers are-they should be con-
tacted similar to the way the
Welcome Wagon operates. There
are also many clubs, according
to tn newspapers, where new
comerS congregate.
Perhaps our temples and syna-
gogues could have a Welcome
Stranger Night? Also invite them
to become members by making a
Special" offer.
Yours very truly
