listing areas. Thirty-five acres
of parkland have been acquired
during the past year, he said,
and the city is actively negotiat-
ing for another 70 acres. Esti-
mated cost of this parkland is
$4,000, of which the federal
government is expected to pay
$67,970. Scheiber asked that
$175,000 additional be appro-
priated for the coming year for
parkland development and &C.
QUESTION.
Storm drainage - During the
past two years, the city has
launched a $525,OO0 storm drain
age construction program to
eliminate flooding conditions. A
new appropriation of $150,000
for this purpose is recon-
mended by Scheiber for the
Croydon Park-Maryvale area,
and particularly within the
block bounded by Crabb ave-,
Horners Ia, Howard ave-, and
Stonestreet ave.
Water line construction - AS
part of a long-range program,
Scheiber wants the City Coun-
Gil to approve a Pinch line I'M
der the B & o RR tracks from
Jefferson st. to the Grandin
ave. water tank costing $4,000,
financed out of the water fund.
Money for improving the Park
st. underpass was not requested
in this budget. Scheiber ex.
planned it would be almost a
year before plans for the prof.
ect, now being drawn, can be
completed and work begun.
This item should wait for ap-
prOvaI in the following years
budget, he said.
Scheiber listed as major
projects" during the coming
year:
. Completion Of plans for the
Mid-City Urban Renewal Prof.
ect.
Q Substantial completion Of
the Rollins ave. bypass, which
will make possible the closing
of the dangerous Halpine I'd.
grade crossing.
Erection of a public works
service building at the Civic
Center.
Acquisition of additional
parkland and recreation areas,
development of recreation areas
in Montrose and Woodley Gar
dens, and improvement of Rock
crest Park and Calvin Recrea-
ttion Area.
. Construction of 81 street,
sidewalk, sewer, water line and
storm drainage projects.
| Achievements during the cur
rent year were cited by Scheiber
as:
. Completion of the Watts
Branch trunk sewer line.
. Commencement of work on
| the urban renewal project.
Acquisition of IS acres OF
parkland with u more under
negotiation.
Completion of S525,00O

1862 MARCH OF DIMES

The annual Embarrassing drive through
the March of Dimes is now in progress. The
worthiness of this cause cannot be doubted.
1t started around at a Christmas party for
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then President
of the United States, and has continued for
over twenty years
These drives resulted in the Salk and
Sabin vaccines being developed through the
support of the March of Dimes fund. Polio,
since the development of the vaccines, has
been drastically reduced through vacclna-
tiOnS.
The March of Dimes has now branched
out and includes many other activities be-
sides polio. For example, they are research
ing in the area of birth defects, arthritis,
and also giving clinical treatment of these
patients. Approximately S380000,O00 have
been given by that fund for medical care,
professional education and research. This,
of course, is big money and big results have
been acquired through the use of the Funds
money.
1t should be noted that the March of
Dimes is not member of the United Fund
and is maintained independently of the drive
conducted by the United Fund. This is the
choice of the March of Dimes ITSELF it feels
that its fund raising is unique and cannot
be joined with other charitable drives.

FEBRUARY, 1862

In the United States February is the
month of famous birthday anniversaries, and
is the last solid stand of Winter in most parts
of the country. The word February derives
its name from the Latin verb 'februare"
which means to purify
The two Americans who are probably
recognized throughout the world more than
any others, George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln, were born in February Other
famous birthday anniversaries which occur
during the month are those of Aaron Burr,
which occurred on the 9th, Charles Dickens
on February 7th William Henry Harrison on
February 9th, that of James Russell Lowell
on the 22nd, William F. Cody (better known
as Buffalo BilD on February 26th, and Hen
ry Wadsworth LongfeoW on February 27th
February is also the anniversary month
of the Battle of Buena Vista, which occurred
February 22nd and 23rd 1S47, of the dedi-
cation of the Washington Monument, which
occurred February 21st, 1885, of the inau-
guration of Jefferson Davis, which occurred
February 18th, 1861, of the destruction of
the Maine" in the harbor at Havana, which
occurred on February 18th, 1898, of the char
tering of the Boy Scouts of America, on Feb
ruary 8th, 1910, and many others.
1t is the month of Valentines Day, and
of the Gasparilla Carnival in Florida In

be a milliOn-and-one such chaI-
lerges in the coming year, and you
will want your children educated
in the way that will help them to
meet these changes.
PRESENT SCHOOLS INADEQUATE
While getting a broad education
the arts should not be neglected.
IN fact, they should be encourag-
ed with an eye to influencing a
worker to think when he is not
busy at his job Creative thinking
is the great need This is the
only way we will lick Communism.
Those who poOh-pOOh time given
70 the study of literature, paint
ing, theater. and music simply do
not understand the richness and
imagination which can be thus in
stilled into a young person grow
.ng up in a highly materialistic
world. Needless to say, sane re-
'igious education is of the utmost
Importance from the very earliest
learning" days of every child.
In closing, may [ say that |
nave not abandoned my attitude to-
ward the real need for specializa-
ion. But | think it is essential to
base this upon a sound, broad ed
ucation that will lay the ground
work for the development of spe-
cial talents. A poor student is US
lally a poor craftsman. Shame on
school committee members who
are always calling for practical
education. 1t is more laboratories
rather than more workshops that
we need. We must train our chill
dren to think, and love to visit art
museums and libraries. Yes, and
to learn to read good books.

Hospital Care: More than one
million dollars in free care was
provided by ia Nebraska general
hospitals in 1860, the Nebraska
Hospital Assn, reported The total
represents bills unpaid by medical

difference between hospital operat-

welfare recipients by state and
county welfare departments.

advertising of cigarets and their
sale to children, according to
Michael Shimkin, MD, associate di-
rector of field studies for t n e

Shimkin, asserting that smoking is
a major cause of lung cancer, said
he doesn't believe cigaret smoking

Civil Defense: The AdminiStra.
ton proposed a $500 million boost
in civil defense spending to pro-
vide part of the cost of building
group shelters in schools, hospitals
and other community facilities.
The federal government would pay
more than so percent of the cost
with the program being operated

"The governments of the Soviet Union
and the United States spend millions year
to win friends and influence people abroad"
says the Portland Oregonian. But the bu-
reaucrats and cloak-and-dagger agents of
neither can exhibit such results Of success
as those that can be attributed to American
private enterprise
The peoples of the world, it goes on to
observe, want all manner of products of
American production or origin, ranging from
chewing gum and hamburgers to automatic
dishwashers. And it's a well known fact
when well-heeled Soviet officials leave this
country for home they commonly go laden
with American goods that aren't available
over there.
At the end the Oregonian makes this
significant point: These are all superficial
things. But is it not possible that, like SO
much on the surface, they are representative
of attitudes that lie deeper, that are more
profoud more significant in the critical
struggle for mems minds? Although the
whole world mimics Americans, even our
faults, very few anywhere seem to want to
do things as the Russians do them except

it expects that industry will need

New Arthritis TEST Developed
BY March OF Dimes Research

A new and sensitive blood
test for diagnosing rheuma-
told arthritis in chiAdren
was one of the medical
achievements of 1861 high
lighted by The National
Foundation in a year-end
review of progress by March
of Dimes-supported scien-
lists.
The report, by DR.. Thomas
M. Rivers, vice president for
medical affairs of The Founda-
ton, cited accomplishments
related to birth defects, virus
diseases, polio and genetics as
well as arthritis.
DR.. Rivers also noted that
1861 will be memorable because
of the licensing by the u. S.
Government of two of the three
component types of Sabin oral
polio vaccine which, like the
Salk killed-virus vaccine, was
developed with money given to
the March of Dimes.
The new arthritis test was
developed by DR.. Morris Ziff
and his research associates at
the University of Texas South
western Medical School in
Dallas. In their studies, the test
proved positive in rs per cent
of children with rheumatoid
arthritis. BY contrast, other
tests currently in use seldom
pinpoint the disease in more
than 20 per cent of youngsters
known to have it, according to
DR.. Rivers.
DR.. Rivers pointed out that
few people realize how very
serious rheumatoid arthritis
can be in children, or how
common it is among them. It is
estimated that there are about
10000 children under Is in the
U. S. who have it, many of
whom are severely crippled, he
said.
1t is also suspected many
other youngsters may have the
disease, with perhaps only
minor or vague pains and no
clear-cut symptoms to label
arthritis as the culprit.
The arthritis test, which is
particularly sensitive in detect
ing an unusual blood factor
frequently found in persons
with rheumatoid arthritis, may
fill its greatest role in uncover
ing undiagnosed rheumatic dis
ease in children.
This could be vitally i'm
portant, because the earlier
diagnosis is made and treat

ment started. the better the
chances for prevention of dis
ability in young victims Of the
disease.
A second scientific achieve
ment highlighted in The Foun-
dation's year-end review was
a special field study which
disclosed that great many
birth defects are not detachable
in early life but may remain
hidden until infants reach the
age of one or two.
This report was made by a
research team headed by DR..
Frank r. Lock Of the Bowman
Gray School of Medicine,
Winston Salem, N. c.
Among the other develop
ments singled out in the March
of Dimes research progress
report were the following:

CHURCH BUDGET

Members of the Baptist Church are
known for their dedication to their Church
and for their belief in strict tithing. The
State of Texas is known for its bigness and
the description of bigness by its citizens.
Baptist Church in Dallas has the largest
budget ever adopted by any church. The
1862 budget of the First Baptist Church in
Dallas was S1,218,000, and is believed to
be the largest ever subscribed by any church.
Baptists being Baptists, Texans being
