on a farm in Collin County near

Mr Paul Engler, president of
I Hereford Feed Yanis, I n c.,
states that the feasibility of
these expansion plans was de-
termined by the inability of his
company to satisfy the cattle
feeding customer demand, and
by the rapid growth of the meat
packing industry which is be-
ing evidenced in the High Plains
area of Texas.

Versatility was the keynote of
his program, which began with
the Toccata and Fugue in D
Minor of Bach, that organist and
composer whose work tests the
technique of all organists, and
ranged into such modem class

and .hen into the popular field
of show music
Following the Bach number.
Leibert brought out the bell ton-
es of the organ, from a distanct
tinkle to a crashing peal, as he
played Kammenoi Ostrow (Ru-
benstein). and continued with
the brisk march from Beetho-
ven’s Ruins of Athens and the
solemn Pilgrims Chorous from

is not quite certain what it is

which needs as much, if not
more, help than its project pre-
decessor,
The original March of Dimes
was begun in America on Jan-
uary 38. 1*38. in honor of the
President of the United States at
that time, Franklin D. Roose-
velt It was Mr Roosevelt’s
birthday. He issued a plea to the
people to contribute one dime
each, which was to go toward
a cure for polio, a disease
which had struck the President
personally while he was a young
man and had made him a crip-
ple for life.
But it was much more than
a crippier. Polio meant death to
thousands of people — mostly
small children In 1*38 there
was not only no cure for polio
but no real idea as to its origin.
And the answers to these ques-
tions and a substantial cure was
not forthcoming until the middle
ItM’s and early IMO’S.
The money from the March of
Dimes made all this possible
The March of Dunes became
.in annual affair, every January
Since the disease was no re-
specter of political parties, it
went on after Roosevelt’s death
in April 1*45 with the White
House backing of Presidents
Truman. Elsenhower. Kennedy
and Johnson And during its en-
tire project of gathering needed
funds, the National Foundation
of the March of Dimes remain-
ed free of toplevel scandal The
Foundation itself is a dedicated
enterprise which has worked to-
ward the goal “to lick the en-
emy."
During World War II. the
campaign was changed in order
to bring opportunities for more
people to participate in the col-
lections. It became a pass-the-
plate type of donation, much as
the churches collect from their
members, except that it was
done in motion picture theatres
1 across the United States When
the final week of January ar-
rived. it became traditional for
actress Greer Garson to appear
on the screen, asking for a per-
sonal donation in the fight
against polio. Afterward, the
ushers went down the aisles
and distributed the change
plates
Miss Garson married a New
Mexico rancher — oilman and
ended her contract with Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer When she did.
