The March of Dimes, conducted each year by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is ¢ erally recognized as one of the most worthy appeals for funds that is made to the public. This year it deserves even more generous support than usual — because the need, both nationally locally, is greater than ever before. _ This is because 1949 was the worst year in Amer- ican history as far as polio is concerned. Thirty-one million dollars was spent for the care of polio pa- tients in the nation as a whole, exhausting the founda- tion’s epidemic aid fund as well as the funds of most county chapters. i Fortunately the disease did not reach epidemic proportions in Seattle, but expenses were higher than and !'the foundation’s epidemic | ber of the 1950 March of Dimes. In the State as a whole 590 persons contracted | polio last year and $365,000 was spent on their care. Snohomish County had to draw nearly $100,000 from fund. that the foundation’s not only to finance its It is absolutely essential depleted funds be replenished vital research work and to c: for new victims, but also to help those who are still under treatment. The March of Dimes cards which are being de- livered in Seattle this week therefore, messages which cannot be ignored. Everyone who receives one should responsibility to return it—with as many dimes as possible or, better still, as much “folding money’ as the individual householder can afford. The Ketchikan News, under the caption “Dime at | a Time,” also recently said editorially: This is the month of the “March of Dimes.” This is the month when a little money from each of a lot of people will pour into the fund that fights our battle against infantile paralysis. Throughout the year the battle goes on in the Nothing is spared to gain against the polio germ. But the number of laboratories and the number of hospitals and the num- scientists that can be arrayed against the enemy are limited by the amount of money available. So the whole complexion of the battle is decided in the week or so that the “March of Dimes” jars are | displayed in public. This is a lot like a war bond dr The funds go to fight a war against a ruthless enemy.
