March ot Dimes Is Current Campaign In these days of strenuous war financing we are apt to forget one of civilization's greatest enemies infantile paralysis. The war is be ng waged against this dread disease and while there have bsen pro nounced forward trides the battle is far from won. This year, as in the past decade, the drive is going forward for funds to carry on the fight. The usual President's Birthday ball has been omitted and a direct drive for con tributions is being pushed. Post master Charles B. Cox is Morrow county chairman and he urges ev ery one to be generous. Contribu tions may be made at the postof fice, or, in case of the "March of Dimes," they may be mailed di rect to President Roosevelt. Cox pointed out that part of the fund raised in Morrow county will be kept here to assist victims of infantile paralysis who are unable to finance special hospital treatment.

Volume 59, Number 43 po - Morrow County Goes 0ver TP n Bond Buying $50,175 Invested by Citizens Here in Month of November Morrow county came through handsomelv with purchases of war bonds during the month of Novem- bar, marking up a total of $50,175 invested in national security. It was a generous contribution to the state's total of $10,787,000, again placing Oregon at the head of the list in the nation. Those in charge of bond sales realized that a record was being made and were not surprised at the outcome, although feeling a keen sense of gratification over the manner in which surplus funds were being placed at the disposal of the government. Figures have not been made available for December sales. In that connection, P. W. Mahoney, chairman of the bond and stamp sales campaign in the county, stated that he believed purchases would run nearly as high in that month, as in November. This is attributable to the fact that many people made gift purchases of both bonds and stamps in lieu of the usual run of gifts, thereby strengthening the campaign. That there may be a de cline in purchases during the late winter and early spring would be a natural trend owing to income tax payments, Mahoney stated. Oregon's national record is the largest purchase of war bonds in proportion to income of any state in the union $9.93 out of every ernment to provide equipment for r- t rvp hwc in thA Ticrhrmrf trrvnta Oregon has led the nation twice in the last four months, having also been number one state in August. lnoAnnnn u-u to onn nnn v.- u $10,300,000. which is $2,200,000 high er than previously.
