1954 MARCH OF DIMES
John J. O’Shea, well known
Anchorage businessman and
community leader, has accepted
the chairmanship of the 1954
March of Dimes in Alaska, Basil
O'Connor, president of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, anounced this week.
As March of Dimes chairman,
Mr. O'Shea will coordinate the
fund-raising activities T>f volun
teer campaign workers through
out Alaska and will lead what
may prove to be the most crucial
March of Dimes in National
Foundation history.
Commenting on Mr. O’Shea’s
appointment, Mr. O'Connor said:
“I am gratified that John
O’Shea is going to head the
March of Dimes in the Territory.
It is vitally necessary that the
1954 drive be a success and un
der his leadership I am sure that
the Territory will maintain the
excellent record it established
in 1953.”
Mr. O’Connor said that the
March of Dimes will stress the
value of research at a time when
the Foundation’s goal seems to
be getting closer.
A.R.R. CALLS FOR BIDS ON

The psychologist had finished
his lecture and was answering
the questions. One member of
the audience asked, “Did you
say that a good poker player
could hold down any sort of ex
ecutive job?”
That’s right; does it raise a
question in your mind?”
“Yes,” came the reply. “What
would a good poker player want
with a job?”
