Benefits From March Of Dimes: Miss Euline McCorkle, 22, who was stricken with polio 11 years ago, uses her special telephone hook-up in an answering service she conducts for the Ann Arbor Convalescent Home where she is a patient. She will soon have a new electric wheel chair to replace the one she is sitting in as the result of a wish granted University coed Carol Jenkins at the recent "Queen for a Day" telecast here in conjunction with the national March of Dimes kickoff.

Staring At The Ceiling Can Be Fun: Harold A. Schumann, 23-year-old polio patient at the Ann Arbor Convalescent Home, is reading a book -- on the ceiling -- and it's quite an accomplishment. The only part of his body he can move is his head, from left to right. With that movement he can press a button which controls a ceiling projector. The projector flashes a book on the ceiling, page by page. As he finishes a page, he presses the button to advance the film to the next page.
