MARCIA TAKES THE CHECK Climax of the Antietamas fund drive for the Shrineifs Hospitals for Crippled Children came when Marcia Owens, 7, of National City, California, was carried aboard by an officer. She was then carried to the ranks of men by Captain Dufek who placed her carefully on the deck. The little girl, in the braces she was given at the Shrine Hospital in San Francisco, Walked slowly past the men to receive the check from Airman Francis E. Montee. SWEETHEART OF THE SHIP, Marcia Owens shook hands with about thirty of the men. Each bent forward from the position of attention to greet Marcia. , .
