Leads Fight
Against
Dread Polio

Mrs. E. L. Richardson of Eureka
has been named Lincoln County
campaign director of the annual
fund appeal and March of Dimes to
be conducted January 14-3l in eel
ebration of the Presidents birth
day by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, it has been
announced by Basil O'Connor, pres
ident of the organization.
Commenting on the need to re-
inforce our lines of defense against
this insidious enemy of childhood
Mrs. Richardson stated, The 1914
epidemic of infantile paralysis was
the second worst outbreak of the
disease in its history in the United
States. Fortunately, we were on the
alert and well prepared to meet
that attack in all parts of the ma
ton. More than a million dollars
or ten million dimes-contribute
by the American people, were spent
by our National Foundation for IN
fantile Paralysis to provide the best
of modern care and treatment fo-
all victims Of the epidemic. Since
no one knows where, or how hard,
polio may strike in l945, we must
again be ready to meet the attack
wherever it may come. Participa-
tion in the annual March of Dimes
appeal is our assurance that no
victim of infantile paralysis will
go uncared for, regardless of age,
race, creed or color
Committee members appointed
are.
