Cakes, Candles, Commemorations
Light March of Dimes 25th Year
Throughout the nation
this month, candles will be
lit on birthday cakes to
symbolize the 25th anniver
sary of the March of Dimes.
The cakes will range from
real ones of conventional size
to monster, multi-tiered models
as much as 12 feet in height
and 10 feet in diameter—the
approximate dimensions of the
one to be erected in New York
City’s famed Times Square.
Guests at anniversary events
around the country, where
cakes will be of more modest
proportions, will be invited to
decorate them with coins for
the March of Dimes.
Many “parties” commemo
rating a quarter of a century of
disease fighting will be held at
special treatment centers for
birth defects, arthritis and polio
which March of Dimes contri
butions are financing today in
more than 40 cities across the
U.S. Other gatherings will be
held in county chapter offices
of The National Foundation
March of Dimes, in the homes
of volunteers and elsewhere.
In many instances, guests at
these campaign “kickoffs” will
include governors or their
wives, mayors and outstanding
authorities in health fields.
Other guests will be Americans
of all ages who received March
of Dimes aid during and after
polio epidemics and outbreaks.
Also present will be children
and adolescents with birth de
fects or arthritis who have been
treated at these March of
Dimes centers.
To raise the millions required
every year for patient aid and
research in birth defects, ar
thritis and polio, each March of
Dimes campaign is carefully
planned many months ahead.
There are millions of contribu
tion envelopes and coin collec
tors to be distributed around
the nation; hundreds of thou
sands of posters to be erected
in every hamlet, town and city;
two million volunteers to be
organized for the Mothers’
March (the climax to the cam
paign at the end of January),
and March of Dimes films to
exhibit to explain the work of
the voluntary health organiza
tion.
Arrangements must be com
pleted for the visit in January
of the National March of Dimes
march
DIMES
Jimmy Boggess, 5, of Coy, Ark., the 1963 National March of Dimes
Child, blows out candles on birthday cake symbolizing first 25 years
of aid to the crippled by the health organization.
Child—who this year is Jimmy
Boggess, 5, Coy, Ark.—with
President Kennedy at the
White House and with various
Senators and Congressmen and
other dignitaries as well as
with personalities of the stage,
screen and television.
Special events for the March
of Dimes are staged in all the
big cities, many lesser ones and
in some small towns. These in
clude March of Dimes bowling
tournaments, with “roll-offs” to
select a national man or woman
champion, fashion shows, auc
tions, teleramas, Coffee Days,
Tag Days and street sales,
neighborhood bread sales, air
lifts and a long list of sports
activities.
The theme of this 25th An
niversary March of Dimes,
which is “Give for the Life of a
Child,” will be stressed in all
these special events, and the
story told of the first 25 years
of the organization. Highlights
of that story are:
Patients aided, 338,000; ex
pended for the medical care
program, $385,500,000; for sci
entific research, $73,600,000;
and for professional education,
$38,000,000.
Basil O’Connor, president of
The National Foundation
March of Dimes, referred in a
recent speech to the 25th an
niversary of the health agency.
“Most certainly we take pride
in our past 25 years, and we
rejoice. But deep down we
really think of that quarter of
a century as only the spring
board for our future.”
