Can. Foundation For Poliomyelitis March of Dimes This is the stary af a failume. His name wes Jean Pommin- ville. He came from Hallebourg, whicb is north ai Hearst, Ontario, which is north ai nowheme. He wes nineteen-years-old. Jean bed Poliamyelitis. He bey in the bcd in bis par- ents' neat farm home, pamalyzed. He bad been sent home as in- curable. He had been sent home, literally, ta, die. But withln Jean Pomminville was. a sperk, which bis idemiteble spirit fanned into a tiny flame, the fleme o! e desire ta walk agein, ta be as ather men. Jean began ta move e band on bis rigid bcd a! pain. Lying fiat on bis back, Jean Pomminville taok correspondence courses, pans- cd -bis entrance. This, in itself, stamps Jean Pomminville for me as sameone remarkable. A friend, whose son had Polio- myelitis, became interested in Jean's case. She approachèd the iCanadien March o! Dimes, wba sougbt expert medicai opinion. 1Yen, said the medical men, there, was a chance sametbing coubd be donc for Jean Pommuin- ville, e chance, a bame chance, thet he might welk again. The Canadien Foundatiory for Poliomyclitis ( T h c Canadien March o! Dimes), o! which I bave the honor ta be the President, decided that Jean wouid have bis chance. Jean was brought ta Toronto by the Foundation, taken ta that wondcrful institution, Lyndhurst Lodgc, whcme seeming miracles are evcryday commonplece. Un- dem the guidance af Dr. A. T. Jousse, anc ai the finent gentle- men, and doctoms in the whole o! Canada, Jean made amazing pro- gress. Horace Brown, the Exe- cutive Directar ai the Canadian March o! Dimes, wbo himseif bas Polio, tells me be went ta sec Jean, and be neyer saw anyone so happy. "Jean told me he wes sitting up in a wheel-chair," Horace re- lates. "Wben I went ta leave, be held out hià hand ta me, the hand be hed been barely able ta move. I can tel yau, 1 feit pmoud, as I shaok that bend. As I left, Jean Pomminville was smiling." It wes the lest time. The next day Jean Pamminville was dead. One o! those Inexplicable com- plications bed arisen, end' bis veliant heemt was stilled in an ins4ant. "I can't help wishing," Horace Brown told me, "that the Canad- ien Marcb af Dimes bad been in existence twa years befare. Per- haps those twa yeers might bave made the difference. Who knows?" Who knows? I said this was the stary af a failume. It is. A megnificent faîlure. There is not ane o! us wha me. grets giving Jean Pomminville bis chance et a normal lufe. We, regret anly it could nat have been given him sooner. We wish with every wish within us the chanýce we gave hlm had been succees- fui. But we feel the spirit of jean Pomminville marches an. It mar- ches on in the Canadien March a! Dimes. It's in the smile o! hope that lights a crippled child's face, as the kindly doctar ap- proaches the bed of pain. It's in the unending brevery ai the lame littie ones,'ý who dare ta tbink that some day they may be frged from the chains af pain that bmnd' them. It's in yau, tào, in the gifts you give and the time you give ta the Canadien March af Dimes. Jeai4 Fomminville wes reelly not a -failure, not reelly et ail. If, by bis story, yau are maved ta help the hundredsaend thou- sends o! ather Jean Pammin- ville's across this greet country o! ours, then be bas nat. suffered and died In vain. The first cempaign af the Cen- adian March a! Dimes moves into history. Only you can write the final chapter in the stary o! Jean Pomn- minville. Only you cen sey wbether or not the story la ta bave e happy ending. Jean would have lkcd the Canadien Marcb af Dimes ta, suc- ceed. You cen give ta the Canadien March af Dimes, by sendlng your contributions ta 410 Bboor Street East, Toronto 5. When you do, 1 wandem whc- ther you would mmnd marking i a corner af the envelope: "For Jean." It woubd make us feci bis courage is nat forgotten.

Yes, Why Nol Duild Up Our Ow» Town? There bas been somne talk recently about secu ring additional industries for Bowmanville. This is a gaod spirit to show. We ail want to see our town prosper and progress. At the same time, howevel', there are a few improve-. ments which could be made, as well as securing new in-~ dustries. In the past several decades the revolutian in trans-' portation bas been the largest factor in changing the picture- of smali town life. Nearby cities are wlthin a few minutes of us and even larger centres are oply an hour's ride away. The casual observer might ^suggest that the time la here for citizens, merchants and business people ta be on their toes ta the greatest possible degree in order to hôid. their customers and attract additionai new customers. -It might aiso be pointed out that at~ no time in the past was loyalty ta aur home industries, stores, and other places of business more important than it is now. The attraction of larger places is more acute naw than it has ever beén at, any time in the past. Sure, let's go after new industries - but at the saie- time hadn't we better look into aur ôwn house and try ta improve aur own civic loyalty and attitude taward.aur own town? When we are doing business, or buying products,, hadn't we better see first af ail if we can secure that servýice from within aur tawn. Money handed out ta transient traders, salesmen and businesses in ather towns is nat going ta directly imprave aur local business or industry ane Iota. Let's get down ta brass tacks on this buying-in-aoir- hometown business. Frorn what has been observed by this writer, it looks as if the citizens fram aur farming cammunity are mare loyal ta Bowmanville than many of the -so-cailed substantiai citizens fram "within the walls." Yes, let's get really seriaus about this building Up aur town. Let's consider doing aur own share af building up ta its fullest 'extent beforé we suggest that someone else do aur job for us.
