In launching the birthday celebra
tion, Mr. Gault has issued the fol
lowing appeal to people of the coun
ty: I have been appointed chairman
for Morrow county for President
Roosevelt's Birthday celebration to
raise funds for the new national
foundation recently organized to
fight infantile paralysis.
The affairs of the new foundation,
inspired by the President and or
ganized with his full approval, will
be directed by a board of trustees
of 34 of the leading men of the Uni
ted States among whom there has
been selected an executive commit
tee of the following nationally known
men: Keith Morgan, chairman; Edsel
B. Ford, Marshall Field, Walter J.
Cummings, George E. Allen, Fred J.
Fisher, W. Averell Harriman, S. Clay
Williams, Nicholas M. Schenck.
With the president approving and
such men directing, there is consti
tuted a double guarantee that the
affairs of this foundation will be ef
ficiently and honestly administered
so that all funds collected will be
faithfully used for the purposes in
tended. A strong executive committee has
been organized for Morrow county,
the personnel of which together with
the community or area chairmen se
lected appears elsewhere in this pa
per. These men and women will be
active but our results will depend
upon the support and interest of
every individual of the county.
We desire a short, intensive cam
paign. In this issue appears Presi
dent Roosevelt's statement outliirfng
the necessity of this foundation. Be
sure to read it, as coming from him
it must appeal to you most forcibly.
From the different compliance acts
inaugurated by the President during
the past five years and the various
loaning agencies of the government,
Morrow county has particularly ben
efitted. The President himself is a
victim of this terrible malady. For
tunately for him, and as millions of
our people believe fortunately for
them, he had the means and the in
domitable courage to largely over
come its after effects, staging a
comeback that finally resulted in his
becoming the executive head of our
country.
The very least Morrow county
people can do is to cooperate in a
substantial way by the giving of
their time as well as the making of
contributions to this most worthy
cause. Help and support the different
activities of your neighborhood.
Many subscriptions should be made
by those who have received direct
benefits through legislative acts rec
ommended by the President. It af
fords an unusual opportunity to
manifest your appreciation of his
efforts in your behalf.
May I add a word personally? The
depositors of the two closed banks in
your county are fortunate in secur
ing so large a return of their money.
The one bank has returned every
penny. The other, with a dividend
announced today of 16 percent, will
have received 75 percent of their
money. My expectation in early 1933
was not to exceed a 40 pfercent re
turn. I am certain a fifth dividend
will be had and that the ultimate re
turns will be at least 80 percent, or
possible a little more. I sincerely
hope the depositors of these two
banks will not overlook this rather
remarkable return of their money
during this campaign for funds for
this really great undertaking.
This appeal has the full approval
of our executive committee. If our
President can devote a part of his
time and give from his means to sup
port this great cause, can't you? He
has given us the challenge. Let us
not fail to meet it.
