the powerful Appropriations COM
mittee.

"Stupendous problems confront
us and upon their solution rests
our future and we must be clear
in our minds about one thing and
that is the foundation we build
must be upon our historic tradi-
tions, our American institutions
We have been living under a gov
ernment which has been going
from one crisis to another. This
has encouraged sectional jealous
les, class prejudices, experimental
tion and improvisation in govern
ment during which there was and
is a long period of deficit finan-
cling and an accumulation of an
enormous public debt which is the
source of the costly initiation now
bedeviling us and endangering
our american way of life. prom
Use to continue Fundamentally my
efforts to cut out this prodigious
waste and keep an adequate
armed force and to deprive the
bureaucrats of their relationships
over our lives and to return the
government to the people"
Griffiths will be opposed in the
general election by Robert T. Sc
crest of Noble county and once

Annual Infaniile
Paralysis Drive
Opens Thursday
Roe M. Jacobs
Heads Local
March of Dimes

The annual infantile paralysis
drive throughout Noble county will
get under way this Thursday and
continue for the remainder of the
month, according to an announce
ment made today by Roe M. Jacobs,
chairman.
Solicitation of funds to the March
of Dimes will be made by mail,
through the county and local school
systems, at the local theatres, public
functions and by containers in the
various business places.
is located in Caldwell, will retain
half the amount raised by solicita-
tion, while the other half will be
sent to the national foundation to
be used for research, epidemic con-
troll and education.
Chairman Jacobs, in announcing
the drives, said that infantile pa
ralysis is one of the costliest of all
diseases. Medical treatments usually
extend over five years. This treat
ment involves disqualification, sur
gerry in many cases, physical ther-
apy, muscle reduction and vocation
al rehabilitation. The average cost
per case is $1,200.00, said Jacobs.
There were 296 new cases in Guy
ahoga county alone last year and
almost the same number for the
year previous. More than 800 vic
TINS are being cared for in Cleve-
land today.
During the past five years, the
disease has been more prevalent
than at any time in medical history.
Ohio was the worst hit of all the
states last year, due largely to the
epidemic number of cases in Akron.
Medical science has been unable as
vet to find the reason.
The annual March of Dimes cam
paign finances research in the cause
and cure and helps finance treat
ment of those it strikes down.
The 1948 campaign, which opens
Thursday, marks the 10th annivers-
sary of the national foundation for
infantile paralysis.
In soliciting the support of the
public in this drive, Chairman
Jacobs said that never has the need
been greater for giving to this fund
and he urges the support of the cit
izenry in Noble county.
