Riverside Dr. EV 5-5900 McHenry Now Can Wear Yuletide Shoes Ginger Nuts Linda then . . . and Linda now Six-year-old Linda Breese of Columbus, Ohio, has been crippled from birth. She suffered from a birth defect, a disorder which seriously afflicts one but of every 16 babies born in the United States. When Linda was old enough to walk, she could get around only with the aid of steel braces on her legs. That meant wearing heavy, ankle - high shoes which were not Very pretty for a little girl who was otherwise developing into a real beauty. Children with significant birth defects, known medically as congenital malformations, often face a lifetime of crippling. But there was hope in Linda's case. In her hometown, at the Columbus Children's Hospital, a new center especially designed to treat birth defects was set up with the support. of New March of Dimes funds. It is probably the world's first birth defects treatment and study center. Linda began a series of surgical operations, treatments and exercises to. strengthen the muscles she still had in her legs. Today she no longer needs the braces and can even ride a tricycle. Though she still uses crutches, the doctors at the Columbus center hope<v that she may soon be able to abandon them. Meanwhile, what delights Linda most is that, like other little girls, she can now wear pretty shoes. The New March of ! Dimes campaign in January, 1960, is aimed at three major crippling diseases,- - including arthritis and polio in addition to birth defects. 'It is estimated that one out of every four American families is affected bythese disorders. Linda's progress toward a healthy, normal life symbolizes the hope held out by the New March of Dimes for millions of sufferers from crippling diseases. HAVE YOU TRIED T HE- .

SEMINARY SUPERIOR The molasses-and-raisin flavor of spicy Ginger Nuts will make a hit with youthful cookie connoisseurs on your holiday guest list. Baking and eating holiday cookies are two activities children love. Plan your baking sessions so the youngsters can help mix, bake and decorate. Even if your helpers eat all they make, you'll know that cookies made with enriched flour give important amounts of three Britain ins and food iron. When guests arrive, nothing brings asTmuch Eleasure as a tray of assorted holiday cookies, your own homeiked specialties and your baker's.

Add molasses and shortening to beaten egg. Add raisins to flour mixture and stir to coat raisins with flour. Add liquid to dry ingredients and stir with a spoon, then knead by hand until well blended. Soil dough into pieces the size of large marbles. To decorate, roll each piece in plain or colored sugar or multi-colored decorettes. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake in moderate oven (350°F.) 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 6 to 7 dozen cookies. These will keep up to 4 vyeeks. Cookies may also be left plain before baking. Then, while cookies are still oven-warm, shake them in a paper bag with confectioners' sugar until coated. These make attractive cookie "snowballs." just one pound a year. But most food "extras" add far more than 10 calories at a time, let alone in a day. Just take a ldok at the calorie con-! Fr.
