tnOrlly on mldlltAN PaAai9 olos Sdlu the
lfirst big modern epidemic of infantile
paralysis in the United States occurred
in 1910. 1t reached every state in the
union and struck down more than 25,-
600 persons. The majority of them
were children. Since then all states
have had recurrent attacks. It, is con
servatively estimated that there are to-
day more than 100000 persons in the
United States who are suffering from
the effects of the disease. That is the
picture of the problem facing the peo-
pie Of the United States who have
linked themselves together to fight the
disease in an organization that exclud-
es practically every medical institution
in the country.
It is because Of this national CO.
operative effort that the National Com
mittee will divide the proceeds Of the
parties on Jan. 30 so that 20 per cent
will go to local institutions. Thus, in
addition to the research work done
by leading institutions in the United
States, there will be funds available to
meet local cases Of disqualification The
objective Of the organization is to pro-
vide assurance that the child OF the
most humble worker will have a chan
ce to become a useful citizen should
the disease strike him down at a time
when his family did not have adequate
funds for his care.
In presenting the message this year,
local committees are utilizing the radio
as much as possible. Local labor chair
men are arranging with their broad
casting stations for a series of two or
three fifteen-minute programs which
will place the subject Of infantile par
alysis squarely before the community,
The national networks are not con-
filming their support Of the movement
to b~roadcasts by the President on Jan.
