The campaign officially will con

ed if necessary in order to put the
University over the top, she stat
ed.
Last year the local chapter of
the organization ran out of funds
and the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis had to send
$14,000 to relieve the emergency,
according to Mrs. C. A. Horton,
Lane County campaign chairman.
Half of the money raised annual
ly goes to the local chapter and
the other half to the national found
ation for purposes of research,
purchase of equipment, and epi
demic relief.
More than $21,000 was spent on
polio care in Lane County during
the first 10 months of 1950. Thirty
nine persons were hit by the dis
ease during the year. In 1949 the
total was 42.
Expense Breakdown
Of the 1950 expenditures, ap
proximately $12,000 went toward
hospitalization fees, $2,400 for doc
tor's fees; $1,756 for crutches,
braces, etc.; $3,027 for physical
therapy; $1,048 for nursing fees;
and $390 for laboratory fees. Other
expense items included ambulance,
X-ray, medicinal, and transporta
tion services.
In some instances polio patients
require hundreds and even thou
sands of dollars worth of treatment
and hospitalization.
Mrs. Horton commented that ex
penses are increasing every year.
Funds are presently exhausted and
she expressed the hope that the
county would go over its quota this
year.
The national March of Dimes
campaign officially opened Sun
day with a broadcast originating
in Wytheville, Va. The town was
hit hard by polio in 1950.
The goal set for the national
drive is $50 million.
