March of Dimes Plans
Concentrated Week Drive
This year the March of Dimes
fund drive for the National Foun-
dations war against birth defects
will be a little dif.'erent in AJo.
Chairman Loyce Blake has
planned one concentrated weekof
community effort, with atelethon
and a community wide auction of
wanything and everything," the
first week in March.
The telethon will be much as
usual, through cooperation with
station KAJO and community ta-
lent. The auction will sell new
things, old things, food, ser-
vices--anything salable.
Mrs. Blake and her assistants,
Gloria Richardson and Kathy
Ellis, are busily trying to round
up auction material now. They
are contacting merchants for
some items, but will dependupon
the people of AJo for the rest,
• We would like folks to clean
out their garages, plan food dona-
tions, and whatever else they can
give that someone else might be
able to use," Mrs. Blake said.
Anyone who has anything to give,
from art work to sofas, is asked
to call to arrange for pickup. The
numbers are 387-6738, 387-6337
and 387-7054.
And, of course, Mrs. Blake
said, for those who can't think of
anything else to give there's al-
ways money.
The National Foundation is now
doing a two-fold work. While it
presses ahead with research into
the causes andpreventlon of birth
defects, it continues to take care
of those crippled by polio before
the disease was conquered.
Kites Are Springtime Fun
If You Fly Them Safely
Jennifer Schnell usually has
help from her bigbrothers Infly-
ing her big batwing kite, one of
many appearing in AJo skies this
week. Her brothers help her fly
the kite safely as well as assist-
Lug her to get it UP in the air. Gne
of their biggest safety lessons to
their little sister is on how to
avoid the power lines that criss
cross the sky behind her.
Fortunately, Arigona's young
kite flyers don't have to contend
with kite-eating trees like Char-
lie Brown of the Peanuts comic
strip.
But to keep kite flying fun and
safe, they should follow afew safe
kite-flying rules according to
Arizona Public Service Company
Wa00hington's
Birthday Is
Early This Year
and the AJo Improvement Com-
pany.
One of the most important rules
is for boys and girls to stay out
of busy streets and away from
power lines.
Parents axe asked to impress
their offspring with these im-
portant tips:
Always use dry string, wood
and paper in kites, never wlreor
metal. Never use any kind of
metal in the tall or string either.
Keep kites away from power lines
radio and and TV aerials. Avoid
flying kites on rainy days and on
busy streets and highways.
And, if a kite does happen to
get tangled in some power lines,
the flyer should never try to pull
the kite loose from the lines or
climb the pole to try to Jerk the
kite free from the lines.
Best thing to do, says the uti-
lity, is for a youngster to have his
Parents call the local electric
company. In the Portion of AJo
served by the AJo Improvement
Co. the number is 387-7151, in'
the part served by Arizona Pub-
The postoffice and several AJo lic Service it is 387- 6751; ff there
business places will be closed is no answer, c all enterprise 116.
