Dale Elliott, Coquille, Coos coun- ty March of Dimes chairman, said that the impending campaign 6 shapes up as “ the most intensive” * in the 11 years that the organized * drive for infantile paralysis funds has been conducted. And, he - added, " it certainly is the most , crucial.” > Emphasis was lent to his warn- s ing by fin al polio case figures for ■ 1948 as compiled by the United 1 States public health service. The E crippling disease struck down a 1 record 27,658 Americans during > the year just ended, according to 1 the federal bureau. The compil- > ation gave Oregon 219 cases, com- * pared w ith 110 in 1947, California 5,560 and Washington 386, and it ■ represented a 600 per cent cast 1 increase over the 1947 total tor the three states. The financial plight of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and its chapters was described as “ desperate" by Foundation President Basil O’ Connor in a nationwide broad cast to March of Dimes workers. He said that the Foundation’s Epidemic aid fund which stood at $6,000,000 at the start of 1948. wound up the year $520,000 in the red, and that the 1949 drive must bring in $30,000,000 “ if we are to meet our obligations.” Dr. E. T. Hedlund of Portland, 1949 Oregon March of Dimes chairman, recalled that eight counties in the state had polio of epidemic incidence in 1948. He said that the treasuries of these county chapters and several others in Oregon have “ reached the vanishing poiht.” “ I f we’re not now ready fo r the great effort immediately ahead, then we never w ill be,” Dr. Hed lund said today on his return from Polk and Benton counties where he checked into campaign organi zations. Dr. Hedlund and Felix Montes, state representative of the National Foundation, have been busy for three months as sisting in the setting up of March of Dimes machinery in 36 coun ties, and they estimated today that j an unprecedented 15,000 to 20,000 !
