Relief FROM CAMPUS GRIND
College Students Given Time To Think

CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA. =. Coe
college students in the future will
be given time to Think!
A day off ''now and then" will be
granted so students can study, talk
to their teachers or "just sit and
think through some of their aca-
demic and social problems, it was
announced by Byron Hollingshead,
young president of the local college.
Faculty members will stick
around the campus for informal
conferences, preferably over cup
of coffee in the grill" Hollingshead
said. Library and reference rooms
will remain open. The day will be
selected well in advance by the fac
ulty executive committee and the
student council.
Averring that fright now modern
education defeats its own purpose,
the young educator declared:
Its impossible to get an educa-
ton in the nodern colleges be-
cause the colleges make it inpos-
sible by rushing the student through
the curriculum ="

Adhering to its policy of leaving
half of all funds collected during
the March of Dimes with its local
county chapters, the foundation left
more than eight million dollars with
these chapters during January,
1916. Up to November /, more than
$50 of these chapters had entirely
depleted their shares Of this fund
and had to call upon the foundation
for help. This help reached the sum
of more than four million dollars.
Emphasize Research.
Besides supplying local chapters
with emergency funds the founda-
tion used its share of March of
Dimes collections in furthering a
concentrated and widespread pro-
gram of research into causes and
possible cures of the malady, and
in training doctors, physical thera-
pists, psychologists and other
front line" soldiers in the war
against polio. A considerable
amount also was spent on public
education, and during 1916 more
than six million pieces of literature
on the disease were distributed
free. During the last fiscal year
nearly two million dollars was ex-
pended for research activities.
The foundation emphasizes
that no victim Of polio, regard

points out, is among the most un-

but until research finally finds the

CEASELESS VAR
High Polio Toll Gives Impetus
To March of Dimes Campaign

answers to many puzzling questions
still obscured, there is one sure
thing about polio-and that is that
it will strike.
No Group Immune.
Despite it's name, it can strike
and has struck persons of all age
groups, although the age group five
to nine appears TO be most suscept-
ible. Boys seem to be slightly more
susceptible than girls, and there is
no evidence to show that any one
race is more immune to its raw
ages than any other.
What is important at this stage,
the report says, is that doctor be
consulted as soon as the disease is
suspected and sometimes the
symptoms so closely resemble
those of a common cold that no
chances should be taken. Early
diagnosis and disqualification may
prevent death or permanent Grip
pling, the report stresses, and the
early services of competent medi-
cal man are absolutely essential.
In discussing the future, the re-
port expresses confidence that the
cause and a prevention of the dread
crippler will be found. In the mean
time, it is pointed out, the public
has every assurance that March of
Dimes funds, distributed by local
chapters in their territories, have
made possible the best available
care and purchased the most up
to-date equipment regardless of
cost, so that any foreseeable exi-
gency can be met.
Aid is Assured.
Behind the local chapters stands
the national foundation, carrying on
sts program of public education and
research, and ready to send aid to
any county which may deplete its
funds through unusual epidemic
conditions.
The work will 60 on, the founda-
ton promises. Funds collected dur
ing the 1947 March Of Dimes win
replenish exhausted treasures SO
that when the 1947 polio season rolls
around-sometime in the late spring
and. through the summer-the ma
ton will be ready.

New Device Tests Drunk Drivers

state police in an attempt to curb

All patrol cars in the state will

LABOR CURBS LIKELY

Numerous Republican comments
have leaned lightly, or not at all. on
the prospect of labor legislation
growing out Of the Republican ma
jority in congress. While the ave-
nues of public discussion in press
and radio have concerned them
selves particularly about legislation
to curb unions, official Republican
sources have been notably quiet.
Programs of proposed action had
been laid down by various groups,
but the senators who will do the job
have not been talking aloud.

Heavy expenditures resulting
from the nationwide 1916 epidemic
have dipped deeply into the founda-
tion's funds, directors assert in urg-
ing generous support for the 1947
solicitation to provide means for
coping with any emergency in the
future. The March of Dimes, they
add, is the only method employed
by the foundation to raise money
to finance it's many activities.
Fatalities Decline.
Figures compiled by the founda-
ton disclose that in 1916 there were
more than $4,000 cases of infantile
paralysis, with fatalities running
between and 10 per cent. In the
year 1916, before the foundation was
organized, the greatest polio cpl
demic in history was recorded. That
year 27,363 cases were reported by
% states, fatalities running as high
as Is per cent.
The sharp decrease in fatalities is
attributed in part to the persistent
educational program waged since
the foundation was started in 1888,
which brought about better dag
nosis and early disqualification. At
the same time improved therapeu-
tic methods were credited with pre-
vention of many cases Of permanent
crippling.
Hardest hit during 1946, ac-
cording to foundation figures,
was the Mississippi valley region,
where Minnesota headed the list
Of heavily hit states with total
of 2,813 cases. However, Flor
ida on the east coast and. Cali
fornia ON the west coast, also
were seriously affected, and 9TH
er widely scattered regions
were hard hit as well.

Americans - some of them
residents Of this community,
of Smyrna itself - need not
have died had they been
aroused to the danger signals
of cancer that give first warn
ing. These are not "just sta

death toll will cause an eco
nomic loss to American Busi-

dollars in 1947. That loss is
sustained by the grocer who
loses a customer, by the mo-
ton picture theatre that loses
a patron, by the newspaper
that loses a subscriber, and by
the business that loses an en-
ployee.
During April, the American
Cancer Society must raise at
least $12,OOO,OOO to continue
