Basil o'Connor, president of the National Foundation for fnfantile Paralysis, announced today presl- dent Franklin D, Roosevelt has authorized the celebration of hts birthday in January, ie43, for the annual fund-raislng drive in the fight against infantlle paralysis,
 In Q letter to the president, Mr, O'Connor stated that for its work in scientific research the National Foundation has enlisted the interest of the finest minds of the country and has supported them in their efforts to conquer the disease and that in the field of treatment of those who have been afflicted by infantile paralysis, the National Foundation has spared no money to care properly for them. This aid is given through the Foundations Chapters which now cover 2,o00 counties of the United States and is made immediately available to all who are in need of it regardless of age, race, creed or color,
 Mir. O'Connor stated that the demands on the National Founda- ton become greater each year and the amount which it spends for re- search constantly increases. For the fiscal year ended September 90, l942, the National Foundation made grants and appropriations totallng $i,i52, ,l9li7 which, except for the year le42, exceeds the amount the National Foundation has received in any one year as a result or the na- tionwide celebrations. He pointed out that the increased need for funds is due to the fact that the National Foundations very existence has stimulated additional research in important fields that otherwise could not have been explored. He stated his belief that 1t would be a great mistake to permit lapse in the work which the president had sponsored and which had been zoe ing on intensively for ten years.

of a Connecticut custom hallowed by long use and wont, I appoint Thursday. the twenty-sixth of Mo- vember, as day of public
 THANKSGIVING
 This do with full and heartfelt knowledge that when we gather on that day about our firesides there will be many vacant chair. In many hearts, I know, there will be sorrow, and load of care will weigh upon us all. Yet we may well re- member that this festival of home was founded, long ago, amid anxie- ties at least as great as ours.
 Often in the past our people have returned hearty thanks not for com fort, ease, or security but for the bare assurance of daily bread. More fortunate than they, we have not only this assurance but also the growing hope that we in our time may help in shaping better world than any that mankind has known. Uplifted by this hope we have put all our doubts behind us and are drowning down all delay. We are seeking one goal, we are working at one task, we are breathing one prayer, we are serving one flag. Seldom has the flame of patriotic devotion burned so brightly in American hearts as 1t does in this hour of darkness and storm. Let us give thanks to Him who first en- kindled and who now keeps alight that holy flame.
 Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hart ford. this l7th day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-two and of the independence of the United States that one hundred and sixty seventh.
