Blonde, blue-eyed, vivacious Mary Lou is indeed a sweet- heart, but. one who has had more than her share of sadness. She was born with a birth de- fect called spina bifida, which means that the base of her spine was not closed properly, At the age of one month, she under- went an operation to correct this condition. Since then, Mary | Lou has fought to be able to walk, and sometimes, she has had to fight to live. Today, the lower part of her body is paralyzed, and she is extremely vulnerable to infec- | tions. In spite of this, Mary, Lou is a cheerful little girl de- | termined not to miss any of the | pleasures of growing up. Proud of the fact that she lives in a state known as the | auto capital of the world, Mary Lou tells visitors that her wheel | chair is a “Kadlac.” She has a frisky puppy named Prince, | and she scurries after him as fast as Kadlac’'s wheels can take her. She tags along after her mother, Lelping.to sweep the floor, dust the furniture and dry the silverware. : One of her favorite jobs is | baby sitting for her two young- er sisters and brother who were all born without defects. March of Dimes Symbol The National Foundation- March of Dimes has chosen Mary Lou to symbolize the 250,000 children born ‘with a serious birth defect each year in this country. a Basil O'Connor, president of The National Foundation, ex- plains the problem of birth de- fects, and the voluntary health organization's attack on it, in this way: “Why did something go wrong when Mary Lou’s tiny body was being formed? Why is a seriously defective child born to one out of 10 American families? . “Can more of these children be helped with present medical knowledge? ~ Favorite hairdresser of Mary Lou Dimes Child, is her mother, Mrs. “What more must we know to prevent this from happening to babies yet unborn? “Simply stated, these are the questions for which hundreds of March of Dimes-supported scientists seek answers.” Because the answers which come from scientific. research will come too late to help chil- dren already afflicted like Mary Lou, the March of Dimes is fighting the problem of birth defects in still another way— through a growing nationwide network of March of Dimes hospital centers seeking the most effective treatment for these children, Currently, there are 44 of these centers across the country. ’ Grateful for Help Mary Lou may be unaware of all the national and interna- tional efforts to help solve the birth defects mystery, but her parents are not. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Graves are grateful to the Genesee County (Mich.) Chapter of The National Foun- rch of Dimes Girl ie : 3 4 i 3 Graves, 1964 National March of Raymond Graves of Flint, Mich. with Mary Lou's frequent hos- pitalizations. “The March of Dimes is the greatest friend we ever had,” Mrs. Graves says. “The March of Dimes helped us pay for hospital bills, medications, the wheel chair and other neces- sary items.” Mary Lou wants to be a nurse when she grows up, Mrs. Graves reports. “Wouldn't it be wonderful if she could be?” the March of Dimes Child's mother says. “Then maybe she could pay back some of the kindness shown to her. Until then, my husband and I can only say thank you to everyone who contributes to the March of Dimes, because more knowl- edge might mean more medical techniques that may help our Mary Lou.” : As March of Dimes President O'Connor points out, the ulti- mate aim of knowledge gath- ered from this scientific re- search is to prevent birth defects from harming thou- sands of tiny bodies not yet born. dation for financial aid to help bicycle | Ney, Nancy Vogle, Constance Hoffman, Sharon Morrison, Carole Mumma, Warren Hofi- man, Lloyd Pickell, Richard Sioan, Janet Horner, George Hedrick, Thomas Long, Ron. ald Sentz, Rita Herr, Rebecca Walter and Thomas Meckley.

E. Oakes, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Pennsylvania Pows- er & Light Company. The output record is indicated by the 34th semi-annual survey of the Edison Electric Insti. tute. A near-record 45.6 million kilowatts of new generating capacity were on order for the industry on Oct. 1, 1963, Oakes said. Giant generating units with ratings of 500,000 kilowatts and larger account for over a quarter of the new thermal generating capacity on order. The survey covers all seg- ments of the electric utility industry in the United States —including investor - owned and government power oper ations. It shows that generat- ing units with a total capaci- ty of 16.4 million kilowatts have been ordered by the in. dustry from U. S. manufact- urers during the first nine months of 1963. This is the largest order for a 9-month period since 1956. Of the 45.6 million Kkilo- watts of generating capacity on order, 82 per cent will be utilized in steam-electric un- its and 18 per cent in hy- draulic units. Some 9.5 mil- lion kilowatts of generating capacity have been put in operation during the first 9 months of this year. Oakes said the 1963 sum- mer peak load for the indus- guests of honor at a party on trv was 160.2 million Kkilo- Sunday, Oct. 27, in celebra-l yous —. 75 per cent above tion of their 50th wedding the summer peak load a year anniversary.
