Cold Spot Fraser, Colo.
Rubbed off the
U. S. Weather Map
FRASER, Colo. UP> — This
mountain town has been rubbed
off the U. S. Weather Map, and
most Fraser residents don’t like
the idea.
For a good many years, Fraser
during the winter months was
listed as the coldest point in the
nation with great frequency by
the U. S. Weather Bureau.
That was up until a week ago.
Now the bureau, an official at
Denver said, no longer goes out
of its way to name the nation’s No.
1 frigid spot.
For one thing, he said, the
bureau cannot collect low read
ings from Alaska in time to cor
relate these with other temper
atures.
Chambers of Commerce at
Pueblo and Colorado Springs had
protested putting the frozen fin
ger on Fraser. Officials said the
ice box rating gave Colorado a
cold image in the eyes of tourists
and businessmen elsewhere.
Most residents of Fraser — a
timber and cattle town where
ex-President Eisenhower used to
fish — don’t agree.
“I think it gives the whole
state a boost anytime Fraser is
mentioned,” said Mrs. Patricia
Leonard, who runs the hotel and
bar.
THIS PLASTIC BAG
SAVED THE LIFE OF ONE
HENDERSON, Ky. — The
plastic bag, killer of many chil
dren, has saved the life of one.
“My baby’s turning blue,” said
Mrs. Robert Proctor in tele
phoning for an ambulance. “He’s
got a heart condition.”
When driver Atmur Stokes ar
rived he found his oxygen mask
too large for the 6-week-old in
fant.
He asked for a plastic bag. Mrs.
Proctor said she never kept them
because of the children. She bor
rowed one from a neighbor.
Stokes placed the baby inside,
filled the bag with oxygen and
made it do as a tent until the
baby reached a hospital.

Press Secretary Salinger
Will Dole Out Freest
Possible Access to News
WASHINGTON UPI — White
House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger promises freest possible
access to news of the New Admin
istration provided it does not in
terfere with national security.
The Republican National Com
mittee said the new slogan seems
to be “clear it with Pierre” and
charged that the White House has
muzzled Democratic congression
al leaders on their talks with
President Kennedy.
Salinger defended his news
policies in a speech to the Na
tional Press Club.
“There is no intention to stif
fle, censor or manipulate infor
mation,” he declared. “We are
not trying to cut off full discus
sion, but to coordinate informa
tion so that, on matters of set
tled policy we speak with one
voice.”
Salinger argued that in the
past there may have been too
free a flow of news affecting na
tional security. He said a com
mittee recently was assigned to
develop estimates of the nation’s
military strength, policy and
capability, using only information
available to the public.
“Their estimate was almost
totally accurate,” Salinger said.
“And I believe this indicates we
have been going too far in dis
cussing matters affecting the na
tional security.”

2 Million Women to Join Mothers' March
To Support March of Dimes Health Goals
The Golden Key of Hope
—a new symbol for a new
decade of medical progress
against crippling diseases—
is the badge some two mil
lion volunteers will proudly
wear in the 1961 Mothers’
March climaxing the New
March of Dimes.
Symbolizing the need for re
search to unlock the mysteries
of such major cripplers as birth
defects and arthritis, the Gold
en Key also represents the vac
cine “keys” to polio prevention
perfected through research
made possible
by the March of
Dimes.
In most com
munities, the
Mothers’ March
will take place
the evening or
afternoon of
Tuesday, Jan.
31. Volunteers
identified by the
Golden Key
badge will call
on their neigh
bors for support
in the cam
paign against
, tragedies which
Mother*' March affect one in
Volunteer Badge every four
American families.
Each of the estimated 40 mil
lion households visited in the
Mothers’ March will receive
valuable health information
cards including Do’s and Don’ts
for expectant mothers, Arthri
tis Warnings, and Vaccination
Alerts for the almost 85,000,000
Americans still not protected
against polio.
Beclouded by centuries of
superstition, birth defects are
considered by medical authori
ties to be the nation’s most
serious child health problem.
Yet the fields of cause and pre
vention were largely unex
plored until funds from the
March of Dimes began to make
intensive research possible.
Pointers derived from early re
search are included on the
cards to be distributed by
Mothers’ March volunteers.
The cards are also designed
to bring home the realization
that more than 11,000,000 Amer
Glimpsed through a keyhole, three small victims of dread crippling
diseases hold the Golden Key of Hope, 1961 Mothers' March symbol
of March of Dimes-supported efforts to unlock the mysteries of
their afflictions. They are, left to right, Gail Berg, 3Vi years, arthritis
patient; Allen Markowitz, 5, polio victim; and Rosalie Porretto, 7,
born with a birth defect, all of New York City.
icans suffer from some form of
crippling arthritis. Many vic
tims, grasping at straws, pay
out a total of more than $250,
000,000 annually on quack
“cures.” The fact is that the
causes of arthritis are largely
unknown. There is no known
cure, no known preventive. But
research to find the key is be
ing rapidly advanced through
March of Dimes support.
To improve treatment and
rehabilitation of those crippled
by birth defects and arthritis,
a network of clinical study
centers is being established by
means of March of Dimes
funds. Techniques developed
by The National Foundation in
aiding polio sufferers are ap
plied to children suffering from
birth defects and arthritis.
All of this research and pa
tient care would be impossible
without health manpower—and
womanpower—to put it to use.
To help meet this drastic prob
lem, March of Dimes funds
support a health scholarship
program in every state each
year. Thus the Marching Moth
ers also seek support for an in
crease in the critical supply of
doctors, nurses, physical ther
apists and others dedicated to
the improvement and protec
tion of the nation’s health.
