`The 13th Is Magic' Fine Youth Volume

"The 13th Is Magic" by Joan
Howard, ably illustrated by Ad-
rienne Adams, will thrill the
young reader who will be en-
chanted by the plot, its charac-
ters, the adventures which mark
the tour of Ronald and 'Gillian
Saunders through that myster-
ious area.
It is the story of a Central
Park West apartment where the
two adventurers live on the 14th
floor—just above the 12th. Since
the 13th number has its super-
stitions, that floor is skipped.
But the black cat Merlin, which
plays its part in this drama,
leads the two to that hidden

•

magical floor. There they meet
the bats and owls and broom-
sticks — the magic of 13.
The park near their home
lends itself well to the many
things which happen to the
Saunders' children. In the
course of their play and adven-
tures we hear about Scott and
Shakespeare and Br ow n in g,
about the heroes in English lit-
erature whose escapades are
mingled with theirs. "The 13th
Is Magic," published by Lothrop,
Lee & Shepard, 419 Fourth Ave.,
N.Y. 16, will be received with
pleasure by the youngsters for-
tunate to read it.

They fought polio because you helped. Sandra Grossberg, age 13, in wheel chair
stricken in 1946 recently returned from Warm Springs, Ga., does her best for the March
of Dimes. Suzanne Alpert, age 8, another polio victim stands beside her. The 1951
March of Dimes, only financial support of the National Foundation for 'Infantile Paralysis
will be held January 15 through January 31.

During the last three years, polio has
reached the monstrous incidence of 100,-
000 ,cases. This is almost as many ca s es as
irr the preceding ten years. Fortunately
wherever and whenever polio hit, there was
a chapter of the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis on the spot, ready to help
the patient, his family and the entire com-
munity. •

Your local chapter was the first line
of defense against this disease. Its chief'
weapon was money—money contributed by
the American people to the annual MARCH
OF DIMES.

Last year MARCH OF DIMES money
paid hospital bills for thousands of families.

Four out of five of the stricken needed
financial assistance—and got it from the

National Foundation and its chapters.

Last year MARCH OF DIMES money
paid 'for nursing care,' physical •therapy
transportation, wheelchairs, braces and
crutches. Help was given to all who wanted,
without questioning age, race, creed or
color.

Respirators, hot pack machines, cribs,
beds, iron lungs are only part of the equip-
ment for which the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis must pay. There are
nurses, doctors, therapists, researchists
constantly employed to treat polio, to 'pre-
vent its spread and to discover its cause.
