    Adults can take a lesson from children and their faith in fairy godmothers. This faith, if spread far enough, could wipe out polio. Eight-year-old Susan Brown last winter was living in Winter Have, Fla., when the following occurred. Susan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Brown, now of Our Town, lost a baby tooth. She put it under her pillow for her fairy godmother. In the morning she discovered a shiny new dime in its place. At school she showed her class the dime, told where it came from, said she was giving it to March of Dimes. Other children donated money that they received in like manner from their fairy godmothers.
