Leave Your Porch Light on Tonight Tonight, Thursday, Jan. 28, is the time throughout the entire nation when the Mothers March of Dimes will be held. Your message to these marching mothers will be a very cheering one if you will leave on your porch light. This will indicate that you are willing to share in the program with 70 million people in giving to aid the unfortunate cripples. Heretofore these handicapped persons you have help ed have been confined to those caused by polio, but this year the New March will be on a wider scale and will include those children bom with birth defects and those, ’of all ages, crippled from arthritis. This voluntary health organization is the largest in the world with 3100 county chapters, two million volun teer workers and over 70 million contributors. This year it is hoped that the number of contributors will increase materially since the program has been so broadened to cover the two new cripplers. It is estimated that one of these cripplers hits one of every four families in the United States. Due to the effectiveness of the Salk vaccine it has been assumed by many people that polio has been whip ped and a program is no longer needed along this line. This is just not true and will not be until all people use the medicine. And there are thousands of cases still undergoing treatment which calls for millions of dollars. In Oregon last year the number of cases of polio in creased to 146 from a low of 25 in 1958. And the funds became so depleted that special emergency campaigns were conducted in eight counties. Nyssa is well acquainted with the work of the national foundation and many remember the wide scale activities here onlv a few years ago. The program is broadened to cover birth defects and arthritis but there will be no change in the purpose of the foundation to study the PREVENTION of these diseases and to aid in the caring for those who are victims. Tonight does not end the campaign in manv localities but is the night of the biggest concentration of workers when the mothers go on march. So “LEAVE YOUR PORCH LIGHT ON TONIGHT” and give what you can. We men could let this be a March of Dollars for three worthy causes combined in one organization. It is good insurance and a worthy Christian cause. MRS. GRAHAM RETURNS HOME FROM CANADA Mrs. Don Graham returned Jan.

The U.S.D.A. estimates that cattle losses due to worms cost American farmers $38 million in '56; sheep losses were even greater. These losses have been cut considerably since the marketing of Purina Cattle and Sheep Wormer Concen trate in 1957. — WORMS CAN CAUSE — • Loss of Weight • Rough Hair Coat • Loss of Milk • Watery Diarrhea Condition • Poor Feed Conversion • And Loss of the Animal Itself ★ ★ ★ ★ Here's what Elmer Huff, a successful dairyman of New Plymouth, says about Purina Cattle & Sheep Wormer Concentrate: "In every case every animal, milk cows and heifers, that I have wormed with PURINA CATTLE & SHEEP WORMER CONCENTRATE have re sponded with increased growth or increased milk production. "One cow I wormed had had a scoury condition since calfhood. Worming this cow stopped this condition and apparently was responsible for smooth ing our her hair coat. This cow has held up better than ever before in milk. I feel worming was contributory to her 90-pound increase in butterfat over her previous lactation." Come in and see us for details on how use of Purina Cattle and Sheep Wormer Concentrate can stop your losses due to profit-robbing worms and parasites . -. DON'T DELAY — GET SOME TODAY!
