Inviting Bids
For Southern
.Industrialization

Aiming to stimulate industriali-
cation in the Gulf South, United
Gas Pipeline Company is devoting
its national advertising to direct
invitation to American industry to
locate in this region.
The new series of direct-appeal
advertisements urge industrialists
to investigate the industrial oppor-
tunities of the Gulf South for post
war expansion.
United Gas has been carrying on
this advertising program since 1889
in National publications totaling
more than a million and a half
circulation. Included in the group
Of publications currently used are
Time, Business Week and Wall
Street Journal. The sole purpose of
the national advertising at the out
set was to build greater payrolls,
more jobs and greater prosperity
for the people of this state and its
surrounding area.
During the war years, however,
the company turned from indus
tlial development advertising to
stimulate war production in the
Gulf South, on behalf of the nation
al war effort. For nearly four
years, the advertisements, running
monthly, told of the vast resources

March OF Dimes
Testimony OF
Polio Interest

The March of Dimes is a tangi-
BILE evidence of sympathy for the
victims of polimyelitis and the de-
sire to help these victims recover,
in the opinion of Mrs. John K Me-
Dowall, State Representative of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis
Last year approximately 100000
was raised in Mississippi" said
Mrs. Mcdowell, about half of
which has been spent for medical
care and disqualification of acute
cases. About $4,000 has been set
aside to provide braces and other
appliances, to furnish transporta-
ton to clinics and for scholarships
for doctors and nurses. Over $4,000
has been spent for hospital equip
ment, These funds are administered
in each county the year-round by
a group of volunteers, chapter of
ficerS who are on the job daily
and whose responsibility it is to
see that no victim of infantile pa
ralysis goes without medical care
This volunteer group also assures
the task of raising funds each jan
uary through the March of Dimes
With the cost of treating single
case of polio estimated at $1,000 and
the need for disqualification lasting
over a year in some cases, Mrs. Nc
Dowall said that very few families
could bear the burden of such ex-
pense In order that expert medical
care may be available when the
disease strikes, 10 Mississippi doc
tors have been trained in the spe-
cial treatment Of polio, she report
ed.
1T should be a cheering thought
to know that the treatment given
to patients at the Polio Clinic is
excellent and is provided by nurses
and physical therapists specially
trained at Warm Springs Foundation
and under Sister Kenny at the
Minnesota Medical School" Mrs
Mcdowell stated mo one, regard
les of age, color or creed, should
have to go without needed medical
care because of lack of funds"
