Liberal Donations Needed
To Wage Fight On Polio .

The scope of the 1948 polio epi-
demic was so great, S. ]. Westmore-
land and M. w. Gordon, co-chair-
men of the annual fund raising
campaign in Mcdowell county,
said today, that only a @tremen-
dously successful polio fund appeal
this month will enable us to carry
on the fight against the disease with
undiminished vigor"
Organization of the 1949 fund
raising campaign is underway the
chairmen said yesterday. Until more
definite arrangements have been
announced contributions may be
made to Westmoreland and Gordon.
"Polio incidence last year," the
local chairman said, approached
the toll of the record year of 1916
when more than $4,000 persons were
stricken The National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis was sorely
pressed to provide funds for medical
care and at the same time maintain
it's far-flung research program"
Additional March of Dimes funds
are urgently needed, Mr.. Westmore-
land said, not only to carry on re-
search and prepare for possible polio
epidemics this year, but also to con-
tinue the care of thousands Of chill
dren and adults stricken during the
drastic epidemic of 194S.
In polio," the local chairman
said, eve are dealing with unique
disease. Its death-rate-5 to 10 per
cents comparatively low, but it
is the sore of disease that is with us
for year. Growing children period
ically require new braces and treat
ment, while many patients must be
kept in iron lungs for years, often
at nexpense of $4,000 year."
AS a result, Westmoreland
said, the cost of polio is often great
er in years succeeding the epidemic
than during the outbreak itself. He
said, for example, that al m o t
$500, 900 in March OF Dimes funds
were sent to Idaho by national head
quarters last year, although that
states most serious epidemic oc-
Cured the year before.
