Weather Hinders As the fund drive for the local chapter of the National Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis nearer the end of its second week, reports from the state board of health revealed that se vere winter weather was handi capping the 1950 drive, as It did last year. Dr. E. T. Hedlund, state chairman of the campaign, said that it seems probable that the drive, originally scheduled to close January 31, "might have to be extended in several com munities." He said that public response to the "most vital March of Dimes In history is good," but he pointed out that cold and heavy snow have re tarded the tempo of the cam paign. . Dr. Samuel Osgood, state epidemiologist, said in Portland today that the dreaded bulbar type polio hit an estimated 25 per cent of- Oregon's infantile paralysis victims in 1949. Re ports on 201 of the state's 324 cases last year showed that 54 of those tabulated were of the lethal bulbar type. Fatalities Down Dr. Osgood's final report for 1949 characterized 1949's case fatality rate of 6.8 per cent as "slightly below" the Oregon me dian of about 8 per cent. Age grouping of polio victims, reported by the state physician, showed that younger people are still the greatest sufferers from infantile paralysis. The follow ing division of cases by age was shown: Under 5 years, 20 per cent; I 8 per cent: 20 to 24 years. 5 Der cent; 25 to 29 years, 12 per cent; 30 to 34 years, 8 per cent; over 35 years, 44 per cent, and un classified, lVi per cent.
