March of Dimes workers did a remarkable job. Receipts wént ahead more than 6% per cent. However, the $55,000,000 até ¢ntering the évalu- B44 vaccine trials, can would be a slowing this hopeful ven- becdusé monty ig needéd to for patients. whd could on patient Status In US. they will support the Emergency March of Dimes, to make sure that the prevention program, rehabili- tation and aid for patients, re- search and professional educa- tion continue for as long as necess- cary.” Mr. O'Connor explained that $26,500,000 was needed for vac- cine and GG programs alone, plus $29,000,000 for patient aid if 1954 Polio incidence is comparable to 1953, when almost 36,000 cases were reported. There are signs, however, that 1954 may be an even heavier incidence year. The num- ber of new cases reported by the U. S. Public Health Service during the first 23 weeks of this year is the largest reported for any simil- ar period in reeorded history, he holdover cases ftom previous said. In addition, there are 67,000 years, who still require help from the National Foundation and its Chapters. Beyond all these costs, another $19,500,000 is needed for continued research into polio prevention and treatment, for professional educa- | tion, for medical and community services for administration. Mr. O’Connor expressed grati- tude to the millions of volunteers who contributed. : “When they realize that more money is needed to insure com- pletion of the vaccine evaluation, provision of gamma globulin, med- ical eare and research and for the care and rehabilitation of thousands of current and future Polio patients, they will want to add their little bit more,” he said. “We must not fail to meet any of these obligations. If every man, woman and child in the United States gives a little more in Aug- ust, our promises to patients and the publie can be kept. “I invite all Americans to look at the problem from the point of view of one of the 2,000 patients who fight for breath each day and night in iron lungs or chest respir- ators. Right in your own com- munity, among your own neighbors, there may be sucl a case. For them the promise of a polio vac- cine is too late. They, and thous- ands of others who are seriously disabled, depend upon their fellow Americans' generosity even while rapid progress is being made to- ward final polio prevention.” Around Zion Rev. and Mrs. A.

He has seen with his own eyes a better mode of life, attain- able by him, and it hasn’t taken too mugh urging to bring him and his family into the sun and surf for relaxation. It hag taken no Supreme Court edict to show him his place in the vacation and travel picture. Of course, he knows by experience that 13 states have legal bars erected against him. For m: yéars he took his enjoyment at the local park or baie tee) anno ex- ecursion with his church. Today, all that has changed. His interest in travel has been spurred on by many factors, one of which has been the wide distribution of “Go-Guide to Pleasant Motoring,” first introduced in 1952 by Andrew F. Jacksoh and Associates, Wash- ington, D. C.
