No word has been received on
how the March of Dimes cam
paign is going in Curry county,
but it should clear the quota as
it always has in the past. For-
tuately Curry county has never
had a case of infantile paralysis
since drive was first started. It
is safe to assume that this may
not aways be true—we may be
hit hard some time.
Paralysis is a crippling disease,
but in recent years, due to this
fund collected annually there
has been much salvaging of the
bodys which might otherwise go
through life in misery, pain and
disuse. Wiiat it costs each of us
individually means no more tnau
a couple shows, a few packages
of cigarettes, or some idle dis
sipation of money. To those af-
flicted, there is no way to mea
sure the benefits. If you haven't
already done so—drip that let
ter in the post office today, with
a dollar or two—that's not much!

Compare nations of the world
