NFIP Rushes More Than $1,000,000 To Hard-Hit Counties Nk York The National Foundation lor Infantile Paraly sis has rushed more than $1,000, 000 in funds donated by county chapters to other local polio units hard pressed by August's rising incidence, Basil O'Connor, presi dent of the March of Dimes or ganization, announced today. Money for this rescue opera tion came from 528 chapters in 45 states and Puerto Rico. These Public Vote Seen On Pinball Ordinance Portland (U.R) A public vote on the attempt ..to repeal Portlands newest anti-pinball ordinance was assured today when tabulators in the city audit or's office g, verified enough names on petitions to put the Issue on the May ballot. The petitions carried 31,439 names, slightly more than 71 per cent of them valid so far in the tabulating. Petition sponsors were known as "The Committee to Tax Pin balls." City Attorney Alexander G. Brown termed the name a misnomer because the petitions bore no reference to a tax on the devices but sought only to repeal the law making them illegal. Too Many Girls; Sailors Quit Ship Portsmouth, England U.R) Twimtv-six British Sea Scouts "mutinied" and walked off their 4.-.--n aViin haranea rf tnn IT1BT1V uauuii5 Dip in..- girls and fiot enough work, it was disclosed today. The hovs went aboard the old naval full-riggft "Foundryoy nt" last Saturday for a week of seamanship training. A group of girl Sea Rangers was sleeping on the same deck, behind a canvas screen, and run ning about the top deck in their -pajamas, the scouts complained. The boys walked off the Foun dryoyant Tuesday and rowed to n&rby Portsmouth where they are staying in a Salvation Army hotel. r. Wild Dog's Body Dug Up Tp Stop Boy's Grievings Battle Creek, Mich (U.R) The Army exhumed the body of a dog at Fort Custer to ease the grieving of a lS-year-old boy. The animal was one -of six "wild dogs" killed on the mili tary reservation ip a drive to free the pbstof stray animals that were preying on deer and other game. Donald Greene, a high school student, was grief-stricken be cause he believed one of the dogs destroyed by the Army was his pet which strayed from his home near the fort. . When officers failed to con vince him they hadn't destroyed his pet, they dug up the ani mal's body to prove it. more fortunate units provided $1,081,538.55 in surplus funds from their treasuries to insure necessary care for polio patients everywhere. Chapter checks ranging in size from $22 to $22, 000 were air mailed to headquar ters in answer to O'Connor's ap peal for funds early in August. Many Chapters Short "The burden of polio cases from previous years in the face of current rising incidence, par ticularly in the New England and North Central regions, has left hundreds of chapters dis tressingly short of funds," O'Con nor said. "To help relieve the pressure of long-standing bills for polio services and equipment and to continue nursing services, $1,048,300 in advances have hepn made in August to 166 chapters in 41 states. O'Connor explained that this was a stop-gap measure, for most chapters would need additional funds to meet financial obliga tions for polio patients who con tinue to need help. An estimated 1,200 National Foundation chap ters with exhausted treasuries are expected to call upon head quarters for $8,000,000 for pa tient care needs this year. O Connor said. "Chanters on- erating in the black have will ingly answered the distress calls of those in the red to insure nec essary polio care. A chapter may be way ahead financially imme diately after the March of Dimes and m six months need addition al funds." He cited this summer's experi ence in Massachusetts where more than 2,100 polio cases have been reported in the worst polio outbreak in the state's history. The Suffolk ' County (Boston) Chapter had $130,000 early this year. Conservative estimates at this time indicate that the chap ter will need $350,000 more to pay patient care bills now being incurred. Polio Uncontrolled "Even with the Salk vaccine, polio is still an uncontrolled dis ease," O'Connor said. "Fortu nately our chapters are geared to expect unpredictable out breaks and expenses. Operating through the national organiza tion, they move quickly to get polio-fighting funds to desperate areas." C h a p te r s answering O'Con nor's call for surplus funds, and chapters receiving money from the foundation include: Oregon Contributing coun ties: Curry, Douglas, Gilliam, Jackson, Sherman, Wallowa and Wasco. Counties receiving funds were Tillamook, Umatilla, Wash ington and Yamhill. ADHESIVE DISAPPEARS Wilmington, N. C. U.R) The Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce today solved the mystery of the disappearing ad hesive on the back of postage stamps.
