Show New March of Dimes Funds Help Eric, Birth Defects Victim, Reach Age of 2 Eric Brantner is-frail and appealing little boy who achieved the age of two years the other day in his crossroads home at Palouse, Wash.. Held In his mothers arms on d Eric that great day, Mrs. Jack Ludlow was hostess to the regular meeting of the Beta Literary Club held Thursday, December 1, with Mrs. Roy W. Hanson, president, in charge. Mrs. A. V. Jacobsen read club collect. Mrs. Allen Christensen was in charge of Melody Time and played recordings of Hawaiian melodies, setting the atmosphere for the topic, which was a travelogue to Hawaii given by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Christensen. They told many facts about Hawaii, including information on the various nationalities living together peacefully in the islands. The strategic location of the islands make them important for air and water defense. Mr. and Mrs. Christensen also told of the habits of the people and their way of life, of the beautiful scenery and the wonderful climate. They climaxed their talk with picture slides of the country, which were very beau- a f blue-eye- could recognize well-wisher- s, his birthday among them his dancing hound-doJupiter. But not so long ago, Eric wasnt "given much time by most doctors to enjoy Jupiter or other members of the household. He was born three months prematurely and also developed an enlarged head (hydrocephalus) , due to excess fluid on the brain. His despairing parents, Gail and Vonda Brantner, did not believe that a second birthday was in the cards for Eric. Then, as the head grew alarmingly larger on the insubstantial body, members of the Whitman County Chapter of The National. Foundation came forward with an offer of March Of Dimes funds if they were needed for patient aid. They were urgently needed. Eric was rushed to Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, 65 miles away. There, at the age of 10 months, he underwent surgery for nearly four hours. The surplus fluid was drained away, relieving the pressure on tne brain caused by blockage, and a plastic tube was inserted to keep the accumulating fluid flowing from the head to the blood stream near the heart. Although Erics appearance today belies his two years the little boy looks scarcely more than six months old the doctors view is that he now has a good chance of survival. He cannot sit up by himself and he is only just learning to toddle uncertamly in a baby walker. But he engages in ly play with his mother and .father, who is a section hand for the Great Northern Railway, with his doting brother Mark, three years, ana of course d with his frisky but gentle companion, Jupiter. Eric enjoys the dubious distinction of being one of the Mrs. Ludlow Hostess to Beta Club at Recent Meet; Hawaii Studied g, tiful. On second birthday, which his parents never expected Eric to celebrate, his mother Vonda Brantner holds him aloft. birth defect to be given patient aid in continental United States under The National Foundations expanded program, which includes arthritis in addition to continued work in polio. (The first instance of patient aid under this new program occurred last year in Honolulu where the local chapter ex- s ended March of Dimes E to care for a Hawaiian infant born with the birth defect of an open spine; the baby today is well along the road to a normal life.) Otherwise, Erics plight is first victims of a significant not singular. Each year in this contri-ution- four-foote- infants are country, 250,000 bom with significant defects and 34,000 of them are stillborn or die within four weeks. The National Foundation, which helped develop both the Salk ana the Sabin polio preventives with March of Dimes funds, moved into the area of birth defects because these congenital malformations comprise the largest unmet childhood medical problem in the nation today. With generous support of the New March of Dimes in January, hopefully the number of Erics will in time be many thousands fewer. Members present were Mrs. Roy W. Hanson, Mrs. Harlow Pexton, Mrs. A. V.
