March Of Dimes. Three poster children meet in New York to launch the National Foundation's expanded 1959 program - for 'victories beyond polio' - a war on the '3 faces of crippling' - polio, arthritic disease, and birth injuries. 3 children with 3 women; little girl walks with crutches and leg braces; very little girl walks; boy is pushed in wheelchair. The women hold up signs detailing numbers (of people afflicted?) associated with each of these medical conditions.
