The Board pointed out that while the Territory had cash as sets in excess of a million dollars, the amount was in ear-marked funds which could not be used for general operating expenses of the Territory.

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 l, more than
800 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-
ton 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
less of age, race, creed or color;
need 60 without the best avail
able care through lack Of
funds.
Infantile paralysis, the statement
points out, is among the most un-
practicable Of diseases. No one
knows when or where it will strike
but until research finally finds the

CEASELESS WAR
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 its 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
ping, the report stresses, and the
early services of a competent medi-
cal man are absolutely essential.
In discussing the future, the re-
port expresses confidence that the
cause and 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 ext
gency can be met.
Aid Is Assured.
Behind the local chapters stands
the national foundation, carrying on
its 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 go on, the founda-
ton promises. Funds collected dur
ing the 1947 March of Dimes will
replenish exhausted treasures so
that when the 1947 polio season rolls
around-sometime in the late spring
and through the Summertime ma
ton will be ready.

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 lust 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 a 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:
"It's impossible to get an educa-
ton in the modern colleges be-
cause the colleges make it impos-
sible by rushing the student through
the curriculum"

WEST INDIES ISLE HAS ONE
OF OLDEST PARLIAMENTS

Establishment of a governors
cabinet in Barbados calls atten-
ton to the fact that this West
Indies island has one of the oldest
parliaments in the British Empire.
Unique among its neighbors for
its continuous loyalty to one flag,
Barbados celebrated the tercen-
tenary of its assembly in 1899,
recalls the National Geographic
Society. Only in London and Ber-
muda are there older British leg
islative bodies.
Barbados is the eastermost of
the islands that separate the
Caribbean sea from the Atlantic
ocean. When the officers and
crew of a British ship landed in
1905, they claimed the island for
their king, James I. The first
English settlers arrived in 1926,
twenty years after the founding
Of Jamestown, Virginia.
Because English customs, archi-
lecture, and characteristics were
brought to the island, Barbados
acquired the name of Little Eng
land" But its immigrants even
in the early days were not all
English. 1t became a land of ex-
lie for Irish and Scots who had
become troublesome at home. The
Scots were attracted to the is
lands northeast region by its
Highlands appearance.

Heavy expenditures resulting
from the nationwide 1916 epidemic
have dipped deeply into the founda-
TONS 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 its 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 1915, 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
Gripping.
Hardest hit during 1946, &C.
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.

Sir Mark Young, governor of
Hong Kong when it was taken by
the Japanese, and who was taken
prisoner at that time and later re-
leased, is the hero of many stories
illustrating a rapier-like wit. One
of the best is of the lady, lunching
at Government House, who was
aggrieved to find herself on Sir
Marks left instead of his right.
She approached her grievance
obliquely-but made it fairly OBJ
vious. Finally she remarked: IT
suppose it is really very difficult
for your Ado. always to put your
guests in their right places?"
'Not at ALL" said Sir Mark
blandly, "for those who matter
don't mind, and those who mind
don't matter"

Urge Care In Deodorants

The careless use of non-perspir-

much or more damage to garments
than perspiration, according to
textile and clothing specialists of
the department of agriculture.
When a good dress goes to pieces
under the arm or changes color,
even skillful patching may not
make wearable again. In using
these chemicals women should be
careful to follow directions on the
label. Any chemical strong enough
to stop perspiration may rot fab
