Snow Offers New Sensation
To Huntington Woods Youth

• By the Oak-Woodser
A young mother watched
eagerly out her window recently
in Huntington Woods as her
small son played with his sled
in the snow.
He hadn't been able to romp
and play last winter. Instead he
had watched from his window
as other boys and girls howled
with glee over the- softness of
the snow.
As the mother stood there she
thought back over a year before
when the doctor, his face grave
yet encouraging made the pro-
nouncement, "Your son has in-
fantile paralysis."
As she related it to us, she
said there probably is no way of
explaining the sick feeling that
rises from the pit of the stomach
to gag you when you hear those
words — even though you have
suspected all along that the boy
had polio.
The first question you ask, she
said, is "Will he be all right."
You wait for words of encour-
agement from the doctor, only
he has none to give. It's always
too early to know.
Then come the weeks of wait-
ing and visiting at the hospital.
By now you know he will live,
but will he again have the use
of his arm?
There are big question
marks during this period of
waiting and anticipating.
There are feelings of dread,
but there are also feelings of
sympathy, as you see other
young boys and girls whose
problems are so much more
desperate, whose parents are
so uncertain and unsettled.
There is the first sign- of hope,
as the boy moves his arm for
the first time since he was
stricken with the diSease, and
there is the recovery that now
is rapid.

boy is making, she continued,
there is a letdown. How about
the others—the other children
whose recovery is much slower,
still others who will never com-
pletely be able to use their
bodies and the few who no
longer have concern over re-
covery, the ones who have died.
"You have no idea," she said,
"the feeling of elation, of com-
plete relief, we felt when we

learned of the Salk Vaccine's
success. Parents everywhere all
must have experienced a similar
sensation, but when your own
child has gone through so much
pain and you, yourself, through
so much agonizing waiting, you
offer a prayer to God that others
won't face the same helpless
sensations."
Our young mother, needless
to say, will be one of the hun- .
dreds of Soutli Oakland Coun-
ty women who will be parti-

Mother's March on Polio, from
7 to 8 p.m., Jan. 26.
Lit porch lights will be their
cue to call on you. But more
than givers, there is a need for
volunteers. If you wish to give

The work of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis continues. There is Salk vac-

appeal, we are all asked to par-
ticipate and to cooperate for the
good of our own children—or
someone else's.

Cagers to Play Twice
For March of Dimes

A double-header basketball
game will be played in the
evening of Jan. 21, in the Clin-
ton School, Oak Park, with all
proceeds going to the March
of Dimes.
Four of the leading amateur
basketball teams in the state
will play. The nightcap will
feature Pfc. Joseph L. Bale
Post's team against the Spar-
tans, composed of members of
the 28th AAA Air Force team,
from Selfridge Field.
The opening contest, at 8
p.m., will bring together the
Metropolitan Five, the cham-
pions of last year's Detroit
Times tournament, and the De-
troit Police Department squad.
Tickets are available at the
box office of the Clinton
School, Parklawn south of 9
Mile, on the evening of the
game.
