Infantile Paralysis
Control Measures To
Require More Funds
The third heaviest polio on
slaught in Oregon's history hit
the state in 1949, afflicting some
325 residents and leaving virtu
ally every chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
with funds depleted.
This was reported Jan. 5,by Dr.
E. T. Hedlund of Portland, state
chairman of the 1950 March of
Dimes which opened on January
16 and will run through January
31. Dr. Samuel Osgood, state j
epidemiologist, advised Dr. Hed
lund that the 325-case total for
the year was an estimate, but--even
so it was one of the worst
12-month periods in Oregon's
polio annuals. Dr. Osgood said
there were only two more severe
polio years 1927 with 390 cases
and 1943 with 415 cases.
Nationally, 1949 brought the
most infantile paralysis cases in
history, according to Dr. Hedlund
who predicted that the final fig
ure for the year would approxi
mate 50,000.
"The eventual cost of treating
our 325 cases of the year just
passed will climb to about a half
million dollars", Dr. Hedlund
predicted. On the same basis of
computation, he said, the nation's
load for caring for the new cases
last year will run between $60,
000,000 and $90,000,000.
He revealed that the epidemic
emergency fund of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralys.
is "had been under heavy pres
sure all year and was now reduced
to almost its last cent". Twenty
million dollars had been disper
sed to lrical chapters from this
source, in addition to the many
millions of dollars which these
chapters spent from their own
treasuries. ,
Dr. Hedlund said that practic
ally all Oregon chapters were
scraping the bottom of the barrel.
He disclosed that Cook, Marion
and Malheur counties had just
applied for advances bringing to
seven the number of Oregon
chapters which had asked such
aid of the national organization
in 1949.

"In 1949, the First National
Bank of Portland experienced one
of its most seccessful years," said
President F. N. Belgrano, Jr., in
an interview Jan. 5. 'The year 1948
generally known as a banner
year in business, produced net
earnings per share for The First
National Bank of Portland, of $10.
34. On a comparable basis, the
1949 earnings per share were $10-
67."
The First National Board of
Directors availed themselves of
the use of valuation reserve per
mitted by the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue and set up
from 1949 earnings, the sum of
$598,492.61, as a reserve for pos
sible loan losses which may be
applied against any loan which
may develop in the future, and
not allocated to any particular
loan or type of loan. The dedu
ion of this sizeadle amount from
net earnings resulted in a net
per share earnings after hist ded-
cion of $9.00 per share during
1949, Belgrano stated.
After the payment of dividends,
there was an addition to capital
funds of $2,521,586.83, bringing
the capital funds of the First
National Bank of Portland to a
new high of $33,042,322.69. This
nJJi,j it. nn 7 OA
duumuil is ail iiiLicooc ji fli-uui
per share in the book value of the i
bank's stock, which is reported j
at a new high of $91.78 per share, j
In December, First National
transferred $3,000,000 from the
undivided profits account to the
surplus account, making the sur
plus $15,500,000. With capital of
$4,5000,000 this gives total cap
ital and suplus of $20,000,000. In
addition to these capital funds,
the undivided profits account is
$13,042,322.69. or a toll capital
fund of $33,042,322.69.
"Although the earnings of The
First National Bank were greater
in 1949 than in 19 18," we look for
ward with confidence and en
thusiasm to 1950, with every rea
son to beleve that earnings can
be maintained at a high level,"
Belgrano concluded.
The Oregon pedestrian most
likely to be struck and killed in
traffic is 59 years of age or older,
records in the Secretary of State's
traffic safety division reveal.
Staewide accident figures show
two out of three pedestrian
victims are under 15 or over 59
with the older group making up
the largest share of the toll. The
most deadly time of day for all
persons on foot is between 5 and
6 p. m. during the evening rush
hour.
Wet or icy streets and the early
darkness of the winter season
greatly increase the hazards to
elderly persons, the division em
phasized, pointing out that the
older a person is the more slowly
he walks and the more likely he
is to fall in the path of an
approaching car. Walkers were
reminded that slippery road surf
aces may make it impossible for
a motorist to stop even though
the pedestrian is seen.
The records show that crossing
streets between intersections, or
"jaywalking", and walking along
the righ hand side of a highway
account for a major portion of
Oregon's pedestrian deaths each
year.

with a total net income of $5,

132. The banking group filed 258
personal reports and their net in-
come was $1,805,160, on which
the tax was $16,088. The state
produced 518 farmers, making
net income of $2,120,280 with
taxes of $10,672. Physicians and
surgeons filed 594 reports with
a net income of $3,979,580 and
were taxed $37,100. Lawers to the
number of 615 had a net income
of $3,745,280, with a tax of $33,
679. Lumber and timbermen filed
1966 reports showing a net income
of $7,315,690 and were taxed $74,

23 newspaper reporters had a net
income of $53,190 and their tax
was $148. There were 273 publish
ers, with a combined net income
of $1,015,540 for the group and
their tax was $8529.
Since the first report on the
classification of income taxpay
ers the information has been held
confidential. There were 43,845
filings when the law was In
stituted. It is expected that the
returns on the 1949 Income will
approximate 500,000 filings by
next April 15, the deadline for
making the reports.
