Speaking in the most conservative terms, the disease is a_peril whose gaunt hands annual- ly bring death or physical destruc- tion to thousands of American homes, steals more than a third ol S B | lu|mm|uuu|mmum|muu||||uu|mlm||mmmuum|m|m|umum;mm:mlimummmnmmuumummmuunummmmlmnnmnmunmnl|mmmm|m|||n|nuum|lmummmu|nu|m||uum|umu||||mummmuumummmmmmmmmimmnmuu LASKA’S CHILDREN wealth every year, and costs its survivors hardships that can be overcome only after years of ef- fort,” The need for funds to fight it, he pointed out, is best summarized in_a statement made by the late william H. Woodin, former Secre- tary - of the Treasury, who said: “To be very, very conservative, infantile paralysis costs the country each year in impaired individual earning _and buying power some $300,000,000. Furthermore, this cost- 1y sum represents only the loss of income—it does not represent the millions of dollars of annual outgo which afflicted people must pay in the fight for recovery.” - “Again being radically conserya- tive,” Col. Doherty stated, “this last expenditure can be estimated by multiplying the estimated num- ber of victims—200,000 for the na- tion—by the cost of caring for each | of them during a year. Put the' figire at $300—a ridiculously low &= sum—and you have an annual cur-l ative cost of $60,000,000. No won- der the President has so generously loaned his birthday anniversay in: 1935 t,o another nation-wide party dedicated to financing the war against the disease!” MANTHEY LEAVES FOR HIS HOME IN SEWARD ON YUKON & After Taking many friends hére and e;tabll.shlng a reputation in spnns kcles for himself, Ro,y Manthey left for h!s Homé“in ard aboard fhe Yukon fast 7 Manthey had vm for ' months. with ‘his drid Dflht.
