the March of Dimes drive, a total

to Treasurer Elwood Hedberg up
to yesterday, he said this morn
ing. Most of it represented do
nations mailed in the "dime
cards' recently distributed
The job of counting the coins
has been a big one, handled by
P. J. Wright and Charlie H. Mc-
Keen. Hedberg said, and many
of the contributions have been
in the form of coins. Many of
tne cards also contain money ot
higher denominations, with bills
and checks ranging from $5
to $50.
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.
Other Events
Among the events marking the
March of Dimes drive this week
are the dance to be sponsored by
the American Legion at the Med
ford armory tomorrow evening,
and dances Saturday at the Gold
Hill Grange hall, sponsored by
the Grange, and at the Elks club
in Medford.
According to Glenn Chase,
promotion chairman for the
Grange, the group will gladly
donate their building and staff
for the second annual such I
uttui-v, wuii-u wiu uv irum v p. m.

Grange sookesmen said that
it is hoped a record crowd will
make use of the facilities and
enjoy a full evening of dancing
and entertainment. Home made
pies and sandwiches, soft drinks
and coffee will be served conV
tinuously during the evening.
