extensive damage had been suffered by the interior of the building. They labored at the scene for over two hours. Owned and managed by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bieber of Syracuse, the plant manufactures run-about and cruiser boats and has been in business for about six years. It was not completely insured. Mother Relieved The Bieber’s three-year-old daughter usually stayed with her mother at the plant during the day. However, on the morning of the fire the child was recovering from a cold and Mrs. Bieber had taken her to the home of a baby sitter for the day. This was the first time in many weeks that the mother and the child had not gone directly to the plant. Mrs. Bieber was still at the sitter’s home with the child when notified of the fire. “It is hard to say just what we would have walked into otherwise,” stated the re- j lieved mother. She also said that I it was a relief that no injuries were received by anyone else and mentioned that the employees were due to check in at 9 o’clock and that, to her knowledge, none were there when the fire was discovered. An apartment located upstairs in the building had recently been occupied by Mrs. Bieber reported that all the tenant’s possessions had not yet been removed.

Miracle Baby with Birth Defects Is Named March of Dimes Child

Jimmy Boggess' mother, Mrs. Shirley Boggess, reads a fairy tale to the 1963 National March of Dimes Boy, a victim of the birth defect known as open spine. She is a March of Dimes volunteer in her home town of Coy, Ark., because she wishes to encourage research "to learn why some children, like my Jimmy, aren't born perfect."
Five-year-old Jimmy Boggess of Coy, Ark., a "miracle baby” who has survived a constant battle against serious birth defects, has been named the 25th Anniversary March of Dimes Boy for 1963. Jimmy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Boggess, was born with a birth defect known as spina bifida, or open spine. He underwent an operation when he was five days old to correct this condition. A few months later, it appeared that he also had hydrocephalus, or water on the brain. However, this condition has apparently arrested itself without need of surgery. In spite of the fact that he also has defects in both the genito-urinary and digestive systems, Jimmy is a happy, inquisitive child who plays with his pets and his toys as eagerly as any other youngster his age. He walks with the aid of steel braces and wooden crutches. He looks forward to his na-

gess, who was a model before her marriage, today is a March of Dimes volunteer. One of the satisfactions she finds in this work is the hope it affords that “research will find the reasons why some children are riot born perfect, and then will find q way to prevent these tragedies. The March of Dimes helped wipe out polio with the Salk and Sabin vaccines. I am certain that something can be done about birth defects. “I am going to work as hard as I can to see that Jimmy continues to get the best possible medical care, and that funds are available for research so that someday other mothers. won’t suffer the terrible shock that I did. “Children like Jimmy will benefit most from expansion of the March of Dimes-supported nationwide network of clinical study and treatment centers, which bring the most modern medical care to victims of birth defects, arthritis and polio. Today there are more than 50 of these centers. Our nation could easily use twice that number.”
