Askov Plans For
Annual Birthday
Ball January 80
Will Give Party to Aid Ma
tional Fight Against In
fantile Paralysis.

Plans are under way at Askov for
another successful Presidents Birth
day party on the order of the one
held last year when 500 was turned
into the infantile paralysis fund.
Otto A. Jensen is chairman of the
Askov drive and the members of the
committee for the party, scheduled
for Saturday evening, January 80,
are Mrs. j. P. Madsen, A. G. Daniel
son and Alvin j. Jensen.
The committee is busy preparing
program for the march of dimes
and dollars event and will make
further announcements later. The
party will be held in the Askov D.
B. S. hall. In the meantime march
of dime collection banks have been
left in most of the business places
in the village for contributions to
worthy cause.
Half of Funds Remain Here.
Of the funds raised in the annual
national drive, now in its tenth year,
half will remain in the local chap
tiers. The other half goes to the Ma
tional Foundation of Infantile Paraly-
sis to be used for research into causes
and cures for the malady. In Min
neSota the National Foundation has
returned most of the funds to the
state because of the spectacular work
of Sister Kenny.
On a nationwide scale the Founda-
ton made grants and appropriations
totaling $1,152,191.17 during its last
fiscal year, and it's 1900 local chap
tiers operating over the length and
breadth of the land gave immediate
aid to polio victims regardless of age,
color, race or creed.
Threat of Epidemic.
But this year the use of President
Roosevelt's birthday as the occasion
for raising funds to combat the dread,
unconquered scourge of childhood
holds special significance: Scientists
have hoisted the storm signal of cpl
demic-inevitable offspring of the
mass migrations that have been nee
essary to put America on an about
war footing.
The Foundation is marshalling its
strength for its own war on the home
front. A flowing stream of green and
silver is the ammunition" needed to
wage this battle on poliomyelitis.
America believes that its dollars and
dimes-not its children-are expend-
able.
