March of Dimes to Aid in
Fight Against Dread
Poliomyelitis
• For the first time in thirteen years,
the March of Dimes, .annual appeal of
the National Foundation for.Infantile
Paralysis, is being; held January 14-31'
without the living presence of the man
who inaugurated the "fight against infantile paralysis and became its symbol: our late president, Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
The cause for which he fought so
valiantly is bequeathed to the American public. The fight is not yet won.
We must reinforce our strength and
increase our effort until final victory
is achieved.
Poliomyelitis is one of the most unpredictable of diseases. The number
of cases may vary greatly from year
to year and from locality to locality.
For exampjer Narth£Ca-rolinji, In 1943
reported only 37 cases. The following
year, however, it reported 859 cases,
highest in its history. Pennsylvania
in 1943 had 143 cases, but 1,455 in
1944. Likewise, New York state
which had 692 cases in. 1943, reported
6,202 the following year, -
It was in New York state, also, that
the number of cases rose from 267 in
1915 to a total of 13,223 the fo'llowiug
year, and dropped back to 295 in 1917.
Under a grant from the. National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis*
more than 3M chemical substances
have so far been tested afc the-- Michigan State Department* or Health in
the hope of finding a drugrwhich' will
destroy the 'virus of poliomyelitis.
This project is one of many financed
by contributions to the March of
Dimes, January 14 - 31.
Half of your contributions to the
March of Dimes and half of the proceeds from the President's Birthday
Ball will remain with the local chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to be used for special equipment, hospitalization, transportation, and treatment and care of
polio patients. The other half goes to
the National Foundation for research,
education and emergency aid during
epidemics.
