MARCH OF DIMES

| It is almost an impossibility for
the average laboring man to be
able to Withstand the complete
cost of cure of pollomyelitis. This
dreaded disease strikes all class
es, all creeds, and all colors. And
strikes when most unexpected.
Today my home, tomorrow yours,
and the next day, somebody else
may feel its sudden attack.
There has not as yet been dis
| covered any preventative. There is
not any vaccine or innoculation
that one can take to ward off. the
disease. We are at the mercy of
the elements.
Medical men and women have
been able to cure many cases of
pollomyelitis. The cost of treat
ments received. often running into
a period of years. is often many
hundreds of dollars and some
times many thousands of dollars.
How many of us today can afford
! such a price for the treatment for
our family. or ourselves?
/ Our late President, Franklin D..
Roosevelt, was a sufferer and a
victim of Pollomyelitis. Through
his leadership the March of Dimes
began, giving millions of dollars a
year to the National Foundation
for I~nfantile Paralysis. 1t is up to
the living to continue this great
work. Not just to insure adequate
medical treatment for others. but
for ourselves. We know not the
day or the hour.
Everytlme 1 picked up a paper
this fall l would read about the
terror it was bringing to the many
large cities of the United States. l
read about the many persons,
young and old. that were being ad-
mitted to our hospitals. About the
schools and the many public ga
thering places being closed in
Minneapolis.
1 still did not think much about
it until one morning I opened a
letter that 1 had received from
my sister in st. Paul. It read. 1
quote, 1.-THE doctor said that the
two youngest children had con-
tracted infantile paralysis. They
are so helpless, but I am sure
that they will be all right. The
hospitals are so full that they are
going to treat theme here at home.
I'm so glad that they can be here
with me. The little boy, next door.
He was the children's best play
mate. He died. 1 still can't believe
it Why just the other day they
were all playing together in the
front yard"
The letter went on explaining
other happenings in st. Paul and
Minneapolis. 1 hardly read it as
1 sat there looking at my little
daughter, playing with her toys,
laughing and talking to her little
doll. Who knows, she might be
next.
JOIN TIL. MARCH OF DIMES.
Give and give generously. Polio
| myelitis must be conquered. Not
only for Duh own benefit, but for
the benefit of all mankind and the
generations that follow. We could
leave no greater gift to our chill
dren than a HEALTHIER AND
STRONGER AMERICA. j. J..
