Polio Foundation Asks Dimes and Dollars
Now to Pay for Potent core in Epidemic of
Infonfile Paralysis Thoroushoyf Country

With thousands of children
and adults in hospitals today as
the result of current widespread
polio epidemics, and with as
many new cases likely to de-
velop in the months Just ahead,
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis has launched a
Polio Epidemic Emergency Drive
to provide immediate funds for
patient care.
The price-tag on this years
epidemic will be so enormous,
according to Basil O'Connor,
National Foundation President,
that $14,500,000 must be raised
to meet the national polio bill.
During 1948, when there were
27,908 cases in the country, the
highest number since the record
total in 1916, the National Foun-
dation and its Chapters spent
$17,000,000 in March of Dimes
funds to provide epidemic serv-
ices, he said. With even more
cases this year, it looks as though
it may cost SIS, 100000 in 1949
to pay for that part of medical
and hospital care which fami-
lies cannot pay themselves.
BY the end of August, as much
money had been advanced in
epidemic aid to National Foun-
dation Chapters whose March of
Dimes funds have been exhaust
ed by the cost of care as was
sent in all of 1948. The nations
total number of cases now is as
large as full years toll in pre-
vious years, with predictions for
at least double that number be-
fore December 81.
Furthermore, it is estimated
that a minimum of $5,000,000
will be required to continue
helping 1948 patients who still
need clinic or hospital treat
ment. The National Foundation
gives assistance as long as medi-
cal care is necessary, regard
less of age, race, creed or color.
The money raised in the Polio
Epidemic Emergency Drive will
be used exclusively for services
to polio patients in all states,
Mr.. O'Connor said. Contributions
may be mailed to POLIO, care of
your local Post Office.
"This emergency drive is our
only hope of providing care for
patients without slowing up sci
entifie research and professional
education programs of the Ma
tional Foundation" Mr.. O,Con-
nor explained. ''It is an ironical

OConnor as follows:
More than $23, $780, 900 has gone

lists, pediatricians, public health
physicians, nurses, physical ther-

At least $58,OOO,OO0 had gone
for patient care, prior to 1949, in
payment of polio bills families
could not meet themselves; in
stating and equipping polio CEN
tiers for modern care and treat
ment, in establishing equipment
depots in six strategic locations
throughout the country from
which respirators, hot pack ma

I'VE know now that fully 756

Chick output increases-Commer-
cial hatchery production in Mon
tana during May totaled 500, 1000
chicks, compared with 535, 900 a
year ago, an increase of 10 percent,
the bureau of agricultural economics
reported.
Total ~hatchings from Jan. 1
through May totaled 1878, 900 chicks,
compared to 1897, 900 during the
same period in 1948, the BAE said.
Eggs in incubators June 1 num-
Der more than a year ago, indi-
eating the hatchings during June
will continue at a relatively high
level, according to the report.
Prices received per 100 chicks by
commercial hatcheries on June /
were: Heavy breeds, straight run
$18; sexed pullets, $25; sexed cock
erels, SIT; light breeds, straight run,
$3.50; sexed pullets, $3.50; sexed
cockerels, $25 cross breeds, straight
run, $18; sexed pullets, $1,000; sexea
cockerels, $3.50. Prices were mostly
unchanged from a month ago except
for a 50-cent increase in straight
run light breeds and cross breeds.
Fruit prospects good - Prospects
for Montana's apple and sweet and
sour cherry crops this year are
bright, with a few exceptions, a
federal report said today.
The bureau of agricultural eco
nomics said apple prospects are good
in all commercial counties except
Carbon, where frosts caused heavy
damage. Trees in Ravalli county
suffered from winter kill and mouse
girdling.
Prospects for sweet cherries are
very good for a record crop in Flat
head and Lake counties. Cherry
trees have bloomed heavily.

q part of that advantage because OF
low volume. 1t would seem that
the future is in the balance with
the future depending on increased
acreage and improved production
methods in those counties best
adapted to seed production.
Crested Wheatgrass Seed
While it's early to voice a guess
on the price of Crested Wheatgrass
seed this fall, it's fairly certain that
there will be a demand for more
than will be produced. At least that
is the situation which has existed
over the last few years.
1t seems fairly certain that over
a span of years there is going to be
a need for Crested Wheatgrass seed.
1t might not be a bad idea for US
to produce in excess of u needs
and start stockpiling it.
Fair Time
1t won't be long now until the
1949 fairs will swing th~r gates
open. All will have exhibits of in
terest to most people.
Fairs would reach their peak
value if folks had more time just to
mill around and see what's happen
ing in all buildings. In most cases
there is value to be found, but it
takes more than a fleeing glance
made on the run to grasp much
from fair exhibits.
Agricultural exhibits are as valu-
able as the effort put forth in their
preparation and showing. A fair
built around community endeavor
always has been a guiding spirit,
and fairs will continue to grow just
as long as that spirit is maintained.

or the intent either of the United
States or the other countries to
whom assistance is proposed, to
build up military manpower
forces comparable in size to those
of the Soviet Union. That nation
has consistently maintained the
largest military force in the post
war world, with over 5000, 900 men
under arms.
1T has increased it's military
budget for 1949 by 10 per cent
over that of 1913; there has been
progress in the training of it's
troops-the ground forces are
estimated to be in better condi-
ton than at any time since the
war; it has increased the secu-
rity measures along it's borders
and the borders of its satellites.
Force in Germany Increased.
THE Soviet force in Germany
was recently increased from TO-
900 to 100000 men. All of this
activity demonstrated that in the
face of the complete demobiliza-
tion af the forces of the United
States and the European nations,
and without competing program
lof military improvement, the
Soviet policy has been and is to
increase it's military strength.
This policy is apparently a delib-
crate one on the part of the
Soviet government and would
exist whether or not a program
of aid to free nations is under
taken by the United States"
The report pointed out that the
equipment to be shipped by the
United States could not possibly
provide the strength required for
aggression.
The report called this American
aid wholly defensive in nature"
and reminded the Senate that
this country remains committed
to United Nations efforts to bring
about regulation Of ornaments.
1T has been Soviet intransi-
gence, not reluctance on the part
of the United States, which has so
far prevented the accomplishment
of such a program, the report
added.
In ASSURING the Nation that the
supplies and equipment to be sent
under this bill will not weaken
the combat effectiveness of our
own military units" the Senators
who handled the bill pointed out
that they had available to them in
secret session the confidential
data covering the types of assist
ance to be furnished.
In conclusion, the committees
stressed that the program is in

nations achieve a greater degree
