You see, Brenda was born with a club foot, and although she has been able to play and to go to school, the dream of her life has been to be like the other children. That's why the little six-year- eld was so happy Saturday when she climbed on the bus to make the long trip to Greenville, S. C., where she will enter the Shrine Hospital to stay for whatever term it takes to make her foot well. Brenda, wno is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Smith, was ac- companied to the hospital by her mother, but when they arrived Mrs. Smith was to return to Key West. Brenda will stay at the hos- pital, with the host of other little crippled boys and girls who are Teceiving treatment of the out- standing corps of doctors provided by the Shrine. ‘This is not Brenda’s first trip to a pital.

At home, the new Republican President cautioned against tax cuts until a balanced budget is in sight and gave his blessing to the end of all price and wage controls when present authority for them expires on April 30. Eisenhower said the - present effect of the Truman order neu- tralizing the Chinese Nationalist island of Formosa is to protect the very Chinese Reds who are killing American soldiers in Korea. Eisenhower spoke out in a State of the Union message which brought him before a joint session of Congress for the first time since he took office.
