Boy-Bound Butterfly: For reasons known best to the butterfly, this one today picked out nine-year-old Robert Kirk of 2115 Alice St. for some extraordinary attention. He's pictured here on Bob's neck as Donald Poppenger, 5, Bob's half-brother, watches. Exactly what the butterfly's unusual attraction for Bob is, nobody knows. But the youth says the butterfly landed on him at about 9 o'clock this morning and just stays there, flitting from one spot to another. Bob says he'll keep the black beauty with yellow, orange and blue spots, as a pet. What else can he do?

Nichols, Ann Arbor chairman of the 1954 March of Dimes, watches Robert Kirk, 2115 Alice St., put his dog, Tippy, through one of the acts of a circus that neighborhood children staged to aid the polio fund.
