GRPPLE,THANKS FRST LADY ON AR Gimbel Award Turned Over to Boy at Ceremony in Philadelphia. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, December 13.— The First Lady of the land last night became the first lady in the prayers of 8-year-old Walter Fox, whom she has never seen, but who will go to the Warm Springs Foundation because Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was named “the country's outstanding woman of tire year.” With 1,000 guests present in an au- ditorium, Mrs. Roosevelt last night received the Gimbel award of $1,000. A great silence enveloped the hall as it was announced that Walter, to whom the $1,000 will go, would speak. ‘The boy was not present, but from his bedside blocks away a radio hook-up brought his words. Thanks and Prayers. “I want to thank Mrs. Roosevelt for her kindness,” he said, “and when I pray for her tonight I am going to ask God to bless her.” Until her arrival here to receive the award, Mrs. Roosevelt did not know the name of the child who would re- | ceive the money. In announcing she would accept the honor, she instructed that the money be used to send some child, crippled | with infantile paralysis, to the foun- dation in Georgia in which President Roosevelt has played such a large part. Modestly disclaiming her fitness for the honor, Mrs. Roosevelt said she was happy because it made possible her gift to the boy. Mrs. Roosevelt's work as an in- dividual in child welfare, unemploy- ment and other humanitarian pro- grams was cited as the award, a gold medal and a $1,000 check, was presented by Ellis A. Gimbel of the merchant family. “I do not feel most women care 50 much for what they actually re- ceive as they do for what they can do with what they receive,” Mrs. Roosevelt said. Accomplishments Told. She recounted stories of curative accomplishments with paralytics at Warm Springs, praising patients there for their “individual heroism” in fight- ing to regain health. Mrs. Roosevelt also was given a gold medal struck off for the event by the city of Philadelphia. It was presented by Mayor J, Hampton Moore. The $1,000 Gimbel award to the “outstanding woman of Philadelphia” was presented to Mrs. Mary Louise Curtis Bok, widow of Edward W. Bok, the publisher and philanthropist in recognition of her charities and her patronage of music in Philadel- phia. It was the second time the Gimbel national award had been conferred. Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam was given the first award. 9 “RINGLESS” STOCKING 79+ A genuine Ringless stocking without a bar, a shadow, or a cloud anywhere.
