Dimes Fund Seeks
Student Contribution
Students at the College are being solicited for individual con
tributions to the March of Dimes. The drive for funds is being
conducted by the Centre County Chapter of the Infantile Paralysis
Foundation.
Edward F. Ormsby, professor of mathematics, and publicity
director for the local March of Dimes chapter, has appealed to the
students to support the drive.
"Many of the students do not
realize that they may benefit di
rectly from the Centre County
protection against polio," Ormsby
stated. “Since the last census, in
which students are listed as resi
dents of college towns, the chap
ter has felt an added responsi
bility to men and women en
rolled at the College,” he added.

By TAMMIE BLOOM
Among the many examples of
students who have been aided by
local funds, Ormsby cited as
most outstanding the case of
Douglas Schultz, who now re
sides in Princeton, N.J., and is
employed by Princeton Univer
sity.
In 1945, while Schultz and his
wife were both enrolled at the
College, as candidates for their
Ph.D. degrees, the young man
was stricken by polio. He was
completely paralyzed below the
neck and was placed in an iron
lung.
When the case had been diag
nosed, the county infantile par
alysis chapter was contacted, and
Schultz was provided with seven
weeks hospitalization at Geisin
ger Hospital, Danville, Pa. Due
to congestion at the hospital, the
patient had to be moved to Warm
Springs, Georgia., for further
treatment.
University Offers Job
Mrs. Balser Weber, Bellefonte,
chairman of the county Chapter,
made arrangements for transpor
tation by train and plane to At
lanta, Ga. In Warm Springs, the
couple was given a small cottage,
where they lived for two years.
Durin'g that time their only
source of income was the $45 per
month which Mrs. Schultz re
ceived from a teaching position
in a rural school.
When, at the end of two years,
Schultz had received all possible
help from doctors and therapists
at Warm Springs, Princeton Uni
versity offered him a position,
plus a small house on campus
and financial means to get start
ed. Since transportation was not
provided, Mrs. Weber wrote to
the Chevrolet manufacturing
company in Detroit, and obtained,
free of charge, a new automobile.
Although his wife died from
cancer a few years ago, Schultz
continues to live at Princeton.
Each year he makes large con
tributions to the March of Dimes
: fund in State College.
Within the past five years, the
local polio foundation has ar
ranged for a total of twenty schol
arships at the College for stu
dents who take courses closely
related to physical therapy.
