Robert Stahl and his family were saved from heartache and tragedy by the action of good neighbors. Stahl, his wife and four children chil-dren were busy on their 127-acre farm near Wichita, Kans. last summer getting set for the fall harvesting when polio struck. First, little 3-year-old Troy came down with the disease. Then' Ronald, who is 10, contracted polio. A few days later, Charles, 12, and Patsey, 14, also went on the sick list. Finally, Mrs. Stahl herself was afflicted. The whole family was moved to St. Francis hospital, Wichita, leaving Stahl alone on his farm. For a while, he didn't know . what to do. The financial burden had been lifted through March of Dimes funds but the burden of work remained. Then his neighbors volunteered to take over his farm until the family was out of danger. These neighbors pitched in and Stahl went to town. For days, he kept a vigil at the bedsides of his wife and children. With the continued help of that other good neighbor, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Paraly-sis, the family began to improve. Stahl went back to his farm comforted ly the knowledge that his family was being cared for. His neighbors had done a wonderful won-derful job of keeping; things going on the farm. So he was able to carry on. Today Mrs. Stahl and three of the children are fully recovered-Charles, recovered-Charles, the 12-year-old, still has one partially paralyzed leg but Mrs. Stahl hopes he too will sooa be welL 'Then maybe," she said, "it'll all seem like just a bad dream." The National Foundation hopes so. too. That's why it has launched a huge polio prevention program involving gamma- globulin and a trial vaccine. If the program succeeds, suc-ceeds, families like the Stahls may be free of the polio threat forever. Set Hake Sale This Saturday There will be a Eake Sale Saturday. Sat-urday.

The many accidental deaths resulting re-sulting from children having locked lock-ed themselves in abandoned ice boxes in different parts of the Country during the past few years, indicates the possibility that an "ice-box" hazard may be in this community. Starting now Telluride Power Company is having its service ser-vice men and meter readers, on their regular rounds, check for any such hazards. City officials have been asked to co-operate. When a box that looks hazardous is located, loc-ated, the Company will notify the City, so that it can, if desired, have an official contact the owner or take such other steps as may be appropriate to have the hazard eliminated by removing the lock or other suitable method. The life of one child is worth a million times the effort it will take us to eliminate in our communities, com-munities, a clanger that has brought brou-ght tradegy to many families thru out the nation.
