Marty Mim Mack, age 9, of Santa Clara, Calif., is just like any other boy. He needed a dog. For it's not a question of wanting to have a dog: if youre a boy, you need a dog. So Marty set out to earn his dog, because in the Mim Mack family there are six sons, and they all earn their privileges.

Now if I could just get Marty and the other boys to behave the way Marty has gotten Liquor to behave," she says, life would be a lot more peaceful in our house." Marty would like to practice obedience training with Liquor a little more often, but sometimes its hard to do. For one thing, he has to wear a Milwaukee brace 20 hours every day to help correct a curvature of the spine which is associated with his hip defect. Travel Goals Marty is busy with other activities, too. He goes to school, where he is doing very well, even though he cant take his dog along. Every summer, he piles in the family camper with his parents and his brothers and they are off to the wilderness of British Columbia fishing and camping out. And then there is one other thing that takes up some of Martys time. He and his dad will be traveling around the country, telling people about The National Foundation-Marc- h of Dimes and the ways in which this voluntary health organization is aiming for its goal, which is the prevention of birth defects. Through programs of research and patient care the Foundation hopes to wipe out one of Americas most vicious public health problems: vicious because it strikes not toward the end of life but at the very beginning when the baby is still in the womb. Great strides have been made in wiping out birth defects. Vaccines nave been developed to protect against rubella (German measles), which can cause severe defects to the? un born baby if caught by a pregnant woman. There is also a vaccine for Rh blood disease, as well as new methods ox treating those who are bom with defects. But much more must still be done, and Marty Mim Mack wants to help see whole mans cubs by mans fire than to howl at the cold water-solubl- Utahs Utah should be retained in fed northern portion of the state will eral ownership and managed un- find marshes frozen and few ducks remaining in the area. der principles of multiple use. is still some jump shooting Under a mandate from Con Thereavailable along rivers and gress BLM in 1967 began a pro most waterfowl have but anals, gram to determine which BLM ilready moved south. administered lands should be re Hunters in the southern part tained and which were morr suitable for disposition.

Liquor has a weakness for German Marty is the youngest of the Mim Mack brothers, and its a little difficult for him to earn his pocket money. Even all of Martys pep and determination and intelligence cant quite overcome the one overpowering fact of his life: Marty was bom without arms and with a hip defect which makes one of his legs shorter than the other. Marty's not alone with his problem, though for there are some 250,000 babies born in the United States each year with a significant birth defect. Not all of these are as shattering as Marty's, but they all make a difference to the kind of life those 250,000 babies a year can look forward to. need any more.

Marty has his dog now, a judicious combination of dachshund and miniature pinscher named Liquor. When a reporter asked why he had named the dog Liquor, Marty replied, Why not?r The reporter decided to ask about something else. Marty and Liquor are both achievers, and so they werent content to just sit around and appreciate each other's company. They went off to obedience training classes together where they turned out to be the youngest dog and the youngest person in the class. Unawed, they went to school for weeks, and Liquor learned to heel and sit and stay so well that Marty's mother Gloria wishes she could take her that it is done. After all, any boy wants to be useful, even if it means leaving Liquor at home while he goes on tour. And Marty knows Liquor will be waiting when he returns. |
