MARCH Of DIMES
OPENS THURSDAY
County Chapter Preparing To
Combat Future Polio Out
breaks, Walsh Says

Cletus J. Walsh, Yellowstone
county chairman of the National
foundation for Infantile Paralysis
announces the March of Dimes
campaign to raise funds will open
Jan. 10 and continue until Jan. 81.
Yellowstone chapter of the Nat
ional Foundation is preparing now
against the possibility of an out
break of the disease next summer.
"We must have the necessary funds
to help our health officials, physi-
clans and hospitals provide the
finest available care and treatment
for infantile paralysis patients" "
Walsh said. "When an outbreak oc-
ours, as it did in Yellowstone
county last fall, no one knows how
much special equipment and ap-
pliances, physical therapists, spec
tally trained nurses, registered
nurses, trained and unframed help
will be needed"
When the outbreak occurred last
fall the Yellowstone chapter was
unable to give the proper meulcai
care and asked the National Foun-
dation for a grant of $4,000 to
cover anticipated expense for a 60
day period. The advance was re-
ceived within a week. Estimated
expense during January and Feb
ruary for the remainder of pa
tients will be $1,000 to $500. The
county chapter and the National
are pledged to see that
no victim goes without treatment
and care for lack of funds, regard
less of race, creed, color or age.
Half of the funds collected will
remain in the county and the other
half will go to the National Foun-
1ation.
AS in other years the campaign
will consist of March of Dimes
cards, theater collections, coin col
ectors, solicitations, dances, athle-
ic benefits, school children cards
and metal tab collections.
County and community organiza-
ion is to be completed soon.

SCHOOL MONEY SPLIT
IS HIGHEST PER CAPITA
IN MORE THAN DECADE

Yellowstone county elementary
and high schools have been appor-
toned the first half of money rails
ed by 1945-46 tax levies, and the
sum received by the schools is the
highest on a per capita basis in
II years, according to T. E. Penn
berton, county superintendent.
A total of S1OS,583.22, raised by
a countrywide 6-mill levy figured
out at 1888 per capita when dis
tributed among 81 school districts
where 1926 children are enrolled
in elementary schools, Pemberton
said. The countrywide levy of 6
mills has remained the same for
several years and the increase is
attributed by the superintendent
to the increase in the county's tax
able valuation.
A breakdown of the total amount
received in the county's general
fund showed that schools receiving
more than $1,000 on a per capita
basis include Laurel, district 7, with
,014 children enrolled Of this sum
Laurel received $9,763.43.
Of the sum to be raised by a
10.6-mill county wide high school
levy, district 7, Laurel, received
32,310.32, or .18.
A breakdown of the sum appor
toned for teacher-retirement high
school fund, raised by a g mill
countrywide levy showed that Lau-
rel high school received $689.40.

nation can be put into practical

LOUIS TRAINS TO GO IS
ROUNDS With conn

POMPTON LAKES, N. J., June
13 (ANP)-The theory behind Joe
Louis training program here is not
based on a possible Knockout but on
the expectancy of battling Billy
Conn Is furious rounds when they
meet at Yankee Stadium on June 19.
The heavyweight titleholder so
informed reporters here Sunday
after 5000 spectators, the largest
crowd to ever attend training
camp, saw him put Jimmy Bell, his
185pound duplicate of Conn, out of
action.
"You boys got the idea I'm train
ing fo quick Knockout" Louis told
newsmen, "and if | don't put him
away in a hurry I'll blow up No, sir,
I'm training to go the full Is rounds
if | have to. The fight is likely to
last the distance"
Joe started opening up on his
sparring partners Thursday against
Bell before 400 civilian spectators
and 100 servicemen from the New
ark Air Base. He cut loose at an
unusual tempo against Park Dan
iels, another spar mate, by using his
famous shuffling style to crowd op-
deadly left jabs, which he crosses
with flashing rights to the head.
The Sunday crowd saw Louis
stagger Bell with left hook to the
chin and then 'put him out on his
feet" with a series of hand hooks.
Bell, stunned and helpless, would
have fallen to the canvas had not
Joe held him up in a clinch so as not
to hit him again.
Ray Arcel, known as the 'Meat-
man" because he has dragged II of
Louis victims to their corners,
called the champions Sunday exhi-
bition "the sharpest" since he began
conditioning for his Forthcoming
battle with Conn.

sary of the ministry Of the Rev.

In ceremony preceding the

Mel E. Hansen, director of the Chi
cago Congregational union, the

NAACP CAMPAIGN TO END ON sunday

Ilc lOCdl IIlcIIlUcISIllp CdIlpdlgu
of the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People,
will be wound up tomorrow with a
final mass meeting at Tabernacle
Baptist church, of which the Rev.
j. Welby Broaddus, is the pastor.
Faced with the gigantic task Of
yet securing several hundred men,
bers in order to make the drive
success, Oliver Robinson, chairman
of the membership drive, has issued
call for all workers to report at
or before this final meeting. The
local branch has been attempting
| to push it's membership roster above
the 5000 mark this year and are
several hundred members short of
this goal.
Pointing to the recent Supreme
Court victory in which counsel
for the NAACP scored a victory
against Interstate travel segrega-
ton, Mrs. Miley O. Williamson, ex-
ecutive secretary, stated that this
should be an inspiration to every
race-conscious individual to volun-
teer his or her membership, wheth-
er or not approaches have been
made by workers in the drive. Mrs.
Williamson stated, "The NAACP
has taken % cases of discrimina-
ton and segregation to the United
States Supreme Court and has
won FL of them. Had it not been
for the militant watchfulness and
aggressiveness of the NAACP,
there would be countless laws and
customs invoking this form of un-
Americanism in force today against
the $4,000 Negroes in the United
States. How any thinking Negro
can fail to give the NAACP his sup
port is more than can understand"
DR.. M. R. Clarke, president of
the local branch, expressed conf
dence that the local drive would
go over the top, as it has done in
previous years. Belonging to the
NAACP is habit that is not easily
/ broken, and it's a good habit to con-
: tinue," said the Doctor.
There are numerous solicitors of
memberships who have failed to
make any reports and the member
) ship committee is counting on this
: group to push the drive over the
top. Three prizes will be awarded
for those turning in the greatest
number of members, and the win
ners will be announced at Sundays
meeting. The prizes are a fifty
: dollar Victory Bond, first; $25
bond for second and SIS in cash for
, third.
