w ill lay down the in itia l barrage
of the 1948 polio battle tomorrow,
opening date of the annual March
of Dimes which this year w ill run
through Jan. 31.
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 !
Oregonians w ill have lent a hand '
before the drive ends
The complete memberships of
civic and fraternal groups in many
cities w ill participate, they re
ported.
Granges are planning
special basket socials; the 168
I American Legion poets in the
I state have planned a variety of
benefit event«; high schools and
colleges are scheduling benefit
athletic contests; labor unions are
issuing special appeals to their
members, and many theatres con
