Harvey, campaign director of the March of Dimes Drive for Monroe County. Mrs. Harvey pledged the com- mittee to redouble efforts follow- ing receipt of a letter from Basil O'Connor, president of the Na- tional Foundation, stressing the! crucial importance of the 1947 March of Dimes. The need to re- plenish funds drained in fight- ing last summer's epidemic which affected more than 25,000 persons and was the worst in the Foundation’s history is more urg- ent than ever before, according to Mr, O'Connor. To assure continuing care of | patients and build up adequate chapter reserves for future epi- demics, $12,000,000 is needed, Mr. O'Connor said, The other half of the $24,000,000 minimum is re- quired on the national level as follows: Epidemic aid reserve fund $5,000,000 Research and educa- tion 5,000,000 General working fund 2,000,000 “During the 1946 epidemic,” Mrs. Harvey said, “the $4,000,000 epidemic reserve fund of the Na- tional Foundation, previously considered adequate, was wiped out completely by November in aiding chapters. By the end of the year approximately an addi- tional $1,500,000 earmarked for research had to be diverted for emergency aid to fulfill the} pledge that “no one stricken by polio need go without care for lack of funds.” Pointing out that this com- munity as every other in the na- tion must be adequately pre- pared for any emergency the fu- ture may bring, Mrs. Harvey concluded: “Let us double our contribu- tions now so we can be prepared, We cannot gamble with the safe- ty of our children, By giving now we will avoid future self-re- proach that. we gave tog little and too late when next summer's epidemics strike.

Although things down Florida way are tough for the tourist, Esquire claims that the fore- warned vacationer can still hole up in a manner quite pleasurable in such delight- ful, sunshiny spots as Key West.

At that time The Citi- zen said (1) “Judge Esquinalda reopened the case at the. request of the Navy, suspended: his sen- tence and fined Casey $5.00 for court costs,” and (2) that “Elling- son checked with Judge Esqui- naldo” and secured a written re- quest from the Navy promising to hold Casey in custody, before he released the sailor on Decem- ber 21. The city manager emphasizes that he had nothing whatever to do with the judge’s reopening of the case and suspending the sentence on Dec. 23.
