Mahaney Describes
 Visit To Foundation
State Representative Endorses "March of Dimes"
 Campaign For Infantile Paralysis Victims

One of the most enthusiastic en- dorsements given prominent Wa terburians to the March of Dimes" campaign to combat the scourge of infantile paralysis is that given by Rep. Daniel l. Mahaney. In urg- ing all to contribute to the success of the campaign locally, "Dan" re- calls his visit to the famous Roose- welt Foundation in Georgia.
 Ills staetment in view of the fact that Wateioury is bending every effort to realize @ substantia tial sum for the general and state funds, comes most opportunely. It reads as follows:
 The Roosevelt Foundation known as the Pine Mountain in the State of Georgia, has an ele- vation of 1900 feet above the City of Columbus. It is fifty miles by road from the city of Columbus and seventy-five miles by road from the city of Atlanta. On this elevation you can see the large
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-27
BY PAUL DeKRUIF

Copyright, 1899, NEA. Service, Inc.)
 In spite of the progress made in infantile paralysis research during the past twenty years, 1t is still one of the most baffling of all the in- fections that cripple and murder humanity.
 The National Foundation for h. fantile Paralysis has undertaken to remove the greatest of all the ob- stacles in the way of an under standing of this dread disease. This obstacle is not the lack of brainy men to study the sickness. It has been the lack of research money.
 What makes the polio research fight so much more expensive than that against pneumonia, for exam pie? The answer is simple: You study pneumonia by killing mice. You study polio only by killing monkeys. And monkeys m n money-anywhere from six dollars to, sometimes, twenty dollars per monkey.
 Now scientists are no more and no less brainy than other people, and they're fooled nearly as often by the good law of averages. To keep from being fooled by 1t, they have to use plenty of animals in every experiment-and their inabil- ity to pay for the plently of neces- sary monkeys has resulted in half baked experiments leading to half cooked conclusions, through no fault of the scientists. But only through our fault, the peoples fault, in not supporting them adequately.
 One of the toughest knots for our searchers and doctors to unite Is the early diagnosis of infantile paralysis, in the stage before the victims show any paralysis, or in a phase where persons attacked by the virus become sick, but do not become paralyzed. This problem has been further complicated, recently, by the popping up of diseases like sleeping sickness, or horse encepha- litis. In their first stages, these disease act much like polio
 Another tough nut to crack Is this one: why are few people suscepti- ble to polio, while most are natu- rally immune to 1t?

The bulk Of the years reg istrations are renewals. Present reg istrations expire at midnight on February 28th and must be renewed If cars are to be operated legally. "of course" adds the commission CT, actually we find very few mos torists who operate their cars with. out proper registration but the trouble Is that 50 many thousands wait until the last week and then expect to Do seryieed as speedily as though they had applied some weeks before. Well, it can't be done"

Prior to his taking his singing seriously he won several high school and state singing contests '. of course as & baritone after his voice changed. He was educated at the John Brown College in Arkansas; the University of Texas; University of Iowa; Coe College In Cedar Rapids. He was determined to become a doctor and 1t was not until he began to study music at the Texas School of Fine Arts that he began to take his sing ing seriously. In 1881 he was one of the national winners of the Atwater Kent radio additions. His winning of this prize enabled him to come to Boston and to study singing at the New England Conservatory of Music. While a student at the Con- servatory he made many outside en- agreements as a church singer a practice which he still continues.
 Prior to his debut on WNAC and WAAB in December of 1884 John had sung on WJAM in Cedar Rapids and for several seasons sang for Billy Sunday (Homer Rode- heaver was his companion) at that great Evangelist's Tabernacle at Lake Winona, Indiana.

 Year after year" states the cofn- missioner, i've urge people not to send money in the mall. Please send checks or money orders. We are als 90 surprised annually ct the many thousands who will mail applica- tons without signing the forms. Thousands of such unsigned ape plieations are received, making it necessary for tho department to go Co unfair expense and effort in res mailing the forms and subjeeting the car owner to the additional trouble Of remailing tho form again."
 In the event c car owner does not renew the car registration the law requires that the plates on tho vehicle be returned to the depart- ment of the motor vehicle, to the main office in Hartford or one Of the branch offices, located in New Haven, Bridgeport Norwalk, stam- ford, Danbury, Waterbury, New London, Norwich or Willimantic. The law provides definite penalties for those who do not return the number plates within c reasonable period after the renewal date.
 In requesting this announcement the commission says "I appreciate that this is . routine matter and that year after year VIC ask for this publicity that motor vehicle own. ers may know the registration res newal date is just ahead. Each year, however, We are hopeful that an increasing number Of persons will Do moved to apply early. The plates may be changed on Wednes- day, February 18th, to carry tho new inserts for io3o.
