• Mother March volunteers ring-
ing neighbors' doorbells on be-
half of the fight against birth
defects are annual happenings.
"We are concerned with a
hat)pier new year for every
child," said Mrs. Audrey Prep-
pernau, Mothers' March chair-
man. "On Wednesday, March 26,
we intend to share our concern
with others in "Shelton and Ma-
son County. Vte f(nq certain that
everyone who answers our ring
will respond with contributions
to the March of Dimes.
"If only everyone could visit
one of the more than 100 birth
(tefects centers supported by
March of Dimes contributions, he
would see how children suffering
from mental and physical ab-
normalities are receiving the
finest possible medical attention."
There is a March of Dimes
hirth defects center in Seattle
at the Universtiy Hospital.
"At the Salk Institute for Bio-
Calif., another recipient of March
of Dimes assistance, outstand-
ing scientists are dedicated to
research projects aimed at un-
covering the basic secrets of
life," Mrs. Preppernau comment-
ed.
To maintain this progress, how-
ever, funds are urgently needed,
she explained.
