MARCH OF DIMES
OPENS IN COUNTY
. THIS MORNING
County Funds Exhausted Past.
Two Years by Treatment
N       Of Local Victims
' The 1949 March of Dimes campaign.'
opened today with the most, intensive,
fund raising drive in eleven years*
Mrs. John V. Wicklund, Jr., chairmaa.
of tlie Clare County March of Dimes-
Committee, announced this moraine •
that, the fund raising appeal for tha*
Clare County Chapter of the National;
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis-
"is the most crucial" in the organization's jhistory.
"Last summer the nation suffieredt
one  df  the  most  devastating  polio-
epidemics in its history, with approst-*
mately 26,000- • cases,"   Mrs. Wicklund
said.    "Never  before  have  the National Foundation and chapters bee«>
called upon to render such extensive-
aid to stricken communities in evetjr-
part of the nation.     The challeng*-
was met, but emergency* aid fund*
were completely exhausted.   We must .
now replenish those funds and pres-
pare-for new epidemics this year."-
One half of the proceeds from this.'
year's March of Dimes and affiliate*!
activities will remain in, Clare -County*
for the treatment of local casasy.
while the other half will be used losr
the treatment and research of in*-
fantile paralysis on a national basSs.
Two primary reasons for full community support of the March of Dimes
campaign are the ever present threat
of a local epidemic and the high cost
of treatment and after-care of thoser
stricken.    Your dimes provide physicians and nurses, iron lungs and hospital beds for the stricken; and yoTOKr
dimes are backing scientists wha escry -
ry on important research seeking- to »
eliminate   infantile   paralysis.     Coa-fc-
siderable of this, research has beem/
conducted in recent years in our ownx
University of Michigan.
• The need for funds in this. Marjclt,
of Dimes goes further.   After-care* ott
polio  victims  reaches   thousands* :oti
dollars, with the average cost around.^
two thousand dollars. Local chaptersi
working with the National Foundation must* furnish the" money needefti
from   one  Source   Only—the   ananali
March of Dimes.   That means a.-gftofe*
paign where supporters give' frapjHlj-
to secure the future of their neighbors,
and   themselves.    It  means  holding:
special eyente, such as dances ancV
socials, card parties, etc.
Funds of the Clare County Ghapterc
have been completely depleted tlte*
past two years by assistance to cases-,
within Clare county and the peopl©-
of our county are urgently requested
to give fifty per cent more this- yearr
to replenish local funds, ,as welt as"
assist with the national emergency..
"For the remainder of the montb^
we are a community united in a grea£\
cause," Mrs. Wicklund said. We mnsti,
use that short time to''■win" community,-.-
ease-of-mind fqr the usual foor-r
months polio period next summer. «
Should infantile paralysis strike heresa
again we will have funds to ease.Hwu
