Regardless of handicaps, a fellow likes to make friends at the Zoo. In this case, it’s 9-year-old Marty Mim Mack, 1971 March of Dimes National Poster Boy, at the Fleishacker Children's Zoo in San Francisco. Marty lives in Santa Clara, 30 miles away.
“I dig animals,” Marty says. And it's obvious that he does. ‘‘The only trouble is, I can never make up my mind whether I like the big ones better or the little ones. The big ones make you feel so little — but, boyl^wouldn’t it be fun to have a trunk like an elephant?”)
UnableQo decide, Marty impartially distributed goodies fo$s much of the animal kingdom as were on hand. As Poster Boy, Marty stands for some 250,000 born annually in this country with significant birth delects.
He also toured the country last year on behalf of the March of Dimes.
"With your help,” says veteran campaigner Marty, “we can do a lot to prevent birth defects.”
