County Readies To Fight Polio PHYLLIS KOHLMEIER Nineteen cases of polio, four of them causing death, and thirteen of them serious enough to be hospital cases resulted last year in the worst epidemic of infantile paralysis Lane county has known. In 1946. Eugene spent ?7,720 for the care of polio victims, $1,500 more than the people of Eugene contributed for that purpose. The hospitalization of a single polio case costs more than $2,500 a year. Iron lung cases, which require special nursing attention constantly, may run to $7,000 or more a year. Constant Attention Required The high cost of treatment re sults because patients who are hos pitalized require almost constant attention from doctors, nurses, and physical therapists, and must have additional personnel to prepare and apply hot packs. Frequently special equipment such as braces, wheel :liairs ,and iron lungs are necessary, Few families are able to meet the high cost of extended treatment. The Foundation has pledged aid, however, to all who need it so that no victim needing help has to go without it due to lack of funds. In the past eleven years, $29, 562,742.54 has been contributed through the March of Dimes. Ot this, $15,000,000 has been spent on victims of poliomyelitis in the coun ties where it was raised. The rest has been used by the National Foun dation to conduct its program of re search, education, and epidemic re lief. The quota set for the University in the March of Dimes campaign is $2,000, while the city of Eugene has set $15,000 as its goal.
