Aids Polio Drive With Roosevelt Dimes: David Lumbard (left) seven years old, a second grade Tappan School student, admires a few of the Roosevelt dimes Robert Thompson, 10, an Eberbach fifth grader, has contributed to the March of Dimes drive for the fight against infantile paralysis. Bob started his collection a year ago and this week handed in $5 in Roosevelt dimes for the campaign which was originated by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, himself a polio victim. David takes a special interest in the collection as he, too, is a victim of infantile paralysis and his father, Robert A. Lumbard of 1319 Wells St., is city chairman for the 1948 dimes drive which ends today. Bob's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Thompson of Morton Ave. Those wishing to help in the drive may still send their contributions to Ann Arbor Post Office Box No. 278.
