Regal Kiss for March of Dimes Kickoff--Bobby Michiels, 6, plants a kiss on the cheek of Adele Poindexter, 4, after they were crowned king and queen of the 1954 Cook county March of Dimes polio campaign yesterday. The young polio victims were presented with crowns made from crisp, new dollar bills, studded with shiny dimes symbolizing the drive's slogan, "Join the March of Dimes with dollars."
