ship between the state of nutrition
and the development of infantile paral-
ysis.
The Foundation, through its after
effects research committee, is con-
stantly seeking to learn more about
the disease process, the damage that
actually develops within the body as
a result of infection, the methods of
minimizing this injury, and the mode
of repairing crippled bodies.
In the field of education the Founda-
ton has made grants totaling approx
mately $230000. This year it created
ten fellowships for training young
scientists in research on infantile par
alysis and related problems. This
grant was made to the National Re-
search Council and will be admins
tered by that Council. 1t amounted
to $4,000.
Since January 8, 1888, when the
Foundation was organized, the total
net amount raised by the celebrations
of the Presidents Birthday was APP
proximately $3,774,000 of this amount
the Foundation received directly ST.
245000. In addition thereto, it re-
ceived from the Will Rogers Memorial
Commission and other donations, 1884,
600, making a grand total of $2,299,-
600. OF this amount grants and APP
preparations totaling $1,1S1,000 have
been approved. The cost of admin
istration has been kept down to 5.61%.
The work in the local field is con-
Quoted through the Chapters of the
Foundation, of which there are now
over 1000 covering more than 1900
counties in the United States.
The Silver Bow County Chapter is
very busy at present preparing for
the Presidents Birthday Ball to be
held in Butte Saturday evening jan
uary rs, 1871. The chapter is hold
ing frequent meetings. The next
meeting will be on January 6, 1941,
at 1880 p. m. in Judge Lynch's court
room.
The local chapter has recently
placed all it's money in trust fund
to be administered by a board of six
trustees. This money may not be
used for any purpose except in case
of grave local emergency. 1t is the
hope of the chapter that this fund
may be augmented sufficiently, so that
in the not very distant future, it may
be possible to establish home or a
hospice in which local victims of in
fantile paralysis may be cared for.
Don't forget the date, January %,
1871.

West Jefferson Bows To Fries
Yesterday; Won Last Saturday
BIevins Yanked in 5th Inning.
First Loss In 3 Games
Open Date Saturday.

The West Jefferson Blue Caps,
after taking two straight wins,
one from Austinville and Ivanhoe,
respectively, chalked up their first
loss yesterday afternoon on the
local field when a tough nine
from Fries, Va, handed them a
6-5 setback.
Ray Blevins, stocky Blues south
paw, who started on the mound
was nicked for hits early in the
first inning which netted the Vir-
GINA boys 2 runs. He later was
relieved by Bower Severt, veteran
Highlander who slowed up the
Fries hitters somewhat in the last
two frames but not enough to
come across with victory.
Hoyt Jones, second baseman,
and Severt each bagged 2 hits to
lead the locals while D. Hester,
young left fielder for Fries led
his team with a homer and triple.
Lyons, Fries pitcher allowed the
West Jefferson team 9 hits while
his teammates collected z from
Severt and Blevins. Guy Spencer
relieved Bill Perkins of the catch
ing duties in this game because
of a sprained ankle received by
Perkins after the game Saturday.
Spencer however, was relieved in
the seventh inning by P. Perkins
who continued out the game be-
hind the bat.
Last Saturday the Blues cap
tured a 4-3 win from the Ivan
hoe team. The local: outfit gath
cred hits while the Ivanhoe boys
could get only 5. Severt did the
hurting. h-E;:
It is regretted that; the box
scores for these two games could
not be published this week but
beginning next week all games
played by the local nine will be
published in box-score form.

MYSTERIOUS PLANE
FLIES OVER CITY
Pilot, Believed Seeking to
Land, Drops Two Flares
And Flashes Lights

A mysterious airplane, apparently
in distress and seeking a landing
place, appeared over Wilmington
last night, circled the city several
times and then vanished into the
night.
Persons on the streets first no.
ticed the plane about Z o'clock, when
the pilot dropped two flares slightly
beyond the southern part Of the
city.
The force at Bluenthenthal air
port was notified and several cars
were lined up around the field with
lights on. Gasoline was strewn
over the ground to be lit when the
plane appeared, but it did not go
near the airport again.
The pilot flashed his landing
lights on and off several times and
attempted to signal once, giving out
a signal interpreted as O-5-P. How
ever, he failed to respond to at
tempts to signal back by persons on
the street with searchlights.
At one time he made a power
dive directly over the city hall at
a low altitude and after this the
plane climbed to about 1000 feet
and was last een winging north
