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.

TO YOUR BEEF, DAIRY and SHEEP!
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

— 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."
