1851 MARCH OF
DIMES BEGINS
Campaign for Funds to Fight
Infantile Paralysis to be
Conducted Jan. 1881
RESEARCH PRESSED

The 1851 March of Dimes begins
January 18th in Kent County and
throughout the United States as a
massive attack against the only
epidemic disease known to man
that is still on the increase-a dis
ease that in the last three years
has stricken more than 100000
people and cost the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis an
unprecedented $58,0O0,000 for pa
tient-care alone. Earl Sylvester,
County director of the campaign,
said recently that every phase of
community life was represented
among the volunteers who started
the drive with the avowed intent
of raising more money than ever
for the fight against polio during
the two weeks of the drive ending
january 31st. THE need confront
ing us" Mr.. Sylvester said, "is the
greatest in the history of our 49,
year-old battle, against polio. The
costs of the last three tragic polio
years have left the National Foun-

dation's epidemic aid funds ex-
hausted. Many thousands of men,
women and children left crippled
by past epidemics depend upon the
March of Dimes for a fighting
chance to achieve some degree of
normalcy. And we must face the
inevitable outbreaks of 1851, with
their unknown number of new pa
tients. Reviewing last years ac-
complishments of the National
Foundation, Mr.. Sylvester esti-
mated that caring for polio pa
tients in 1950-when we'll over 30,-
900 people were stricken-had cost
the National Foundation approx
mately S2O,OOO,OO with millions in
unpaid bills still remaining.
Research Pressed
He said more than 1900 Red
Cross nurses had served on Nation
al Foundation assignments, and
that 100 physical therapists had
been sent into the field. In addition,
40 physicians were added to hard
pressed hospital staffs or served as
consultants in the field at the re-
quest of the National Foundation.
Since the National Foundation was
established in 1888, it has author
lied $2S, ,567, ,233.51 for programs of
research, education, and non-epi-
demic medical care, he declared,
adding that $2,716, ,9S7.69 of this
amount had been allocated in 1850
alone. He characterized this three
pronged attack against polio and
its after-effects as "our only hope
of some day eliminating the dis
ease and of providing the best care
that science can devise until then"
$1,OOO,OOO in Equipment
During the year, more than ST.
100000 worth of respirators, hot
pack machines and other essential
equipment was shipped by plane,
truck and rail to all parts of the
nation. This included more than
$50 respirators, 300 hot-pack ma
chimes, $50 cribs and beds and
1000 pounds of wool. The year also
marked a high-point of cooperation
between the National Foundation
and the nations expanding armed
forces. With patient care costs for

The derivation of the term
tMaccabaean" is surrounded
with some questioning. One
theory traces it to the banner
which the Jews raised IN their
battle against Antiochus, which
was said to have carried the He
brew words, mi Camocha Ba-
Elm Adonai" and the word
'Maccabee" is supposed to be a
combination of the initial letters,
M-C-B-L
Another theory has it that the
word stems from the Hebrew
word, 'Makab," meaning ham,
mer. Judas Maccabeus struck
hammer blows in behalf of Is
rael.
The commonly accepted origin
Of the Chanukah lights is that the
Maccabaeans on entering the
Temple after the heathenS had
profaned in it, found only a cruise
of oil sufficient for one night but
by miracle it lasted through
eight days.

Your Health
Don't Underestimate Seriousness
And DANGER of Whoopinq Couqh

smallpox has been wiped of the
face Of the earth, despite occa-
sional cases with serious COM
plications, and most parents are
aware of the value of diphtheria
toxoids with which large COM
munities are kept entirely free of
diphtheria, we may not realize
the seriousness of whooping cough
during, and many years after, an
attack.
In children under 2 years of
age whooping cough causes more
deaths than diptheria. measles,
scarlet fever and polio combined
in Canada. This is the statement
of DR.. c. H. Anglin, Toronto. Yet
Whooping cough can be virtually
eliminated by a vaccine which
protects against whooping cough.
Further, whooping cough may af-
feet the child mentally by con-
vulsions which occur during an
attack. Sometimes attacks of epi-
lepsy which begin to occur dur
ing teen-age or older, can be
traced to an attack of epilepsy
occurring during infancy, usually
during the first two years.

at once about immunizing your

Secrets of Charm
Secrets Of Chorm
Beauty Aids for Problem Ears
By John Robert Powers

''The smarties in my class" "
writes an unhappy teenager,
tease me so about my big, stick
out ears that I've gotten to the
point where I wear my hair down
over them all Of the time. With
all the girls wearing swept back
hair-dos, I feel awfully out of
step. Isn't there something else
I can do?"
Yes, there is. And it should
ease your self-consciousness a bit
to know that your problem isn't
unusual-it's one that many wom-
en- have.
However, if you'll just follow
these simple instructions. you'll
find your ears becoming prettier
by the minute:
/. Instead of wearing your hair
down over your entire ear in an
out-of-date style, arrange it in a
soft vertical wave to cover only
the top half of the ear.
2. You can tape your ears back!
More professional beauties do just
that than you might dream.
Here's how: Get a role of double
faced transparent or f1esh-colore
adhesive tape. Cut a very small
piece to conform to the curve of
the upper shell of your ear. Place
it along the underside of your ear
and press your ear fiat to your
scalp until the tape grabs hold.
Then arrange your hair to dip up
and around this artifice, but leave
the entire front surface of the
ear exposed.
8. Use earrings to camoufage
both the shape and size of your
ear. Medium sized earbobs, small
enough to let a margin o. lobe
show on each side, perform the
old optical Illusion trick of divid-

great help in showing us just how
much a fashion that may have
been viewed earlier in the week
can change through the addition
of accessories which frequently are
classified as the little items" in
a wardrobe. The accessory peo-
pie would love for us to go into
an era where jewelry would
dominate the costume. We don't
think it'll happen any more than
we expect a rhinestone to be
changed quickly into a diamond.
But we're the last to state
that accessories shouldn't play a
bigger and more important role
than they do in wardrobe plan
ming. The 'invigorating" usuage
of the right accessories can do
more to establish the fact that a
woman and her wardrobe are one
than any other specific fashion
fact we've ever learned.

Either neglect or ignorance of
the facts is to blame for Canada S
281 deaths from diphtheria and
whopping cough in 1949, it was
charged by the Health League Of
Canada last October in sponsoring
the nations eighth annual observ-
ance of national immupization
week. Both diphtheria and whoop-
ing cough are preventable, the
league states, through diphtheria
toxoid and whooping cough vac
cine, respectively. Public health
officers and family doctors
throughout the nation are able
and willing to provide protection
against these two diseases, yet
both continue to take annual toll
among Canada's children.
The Health League of Canada is
a voluntary organization which is
helping parents and the public
generally to understand the sweet
reasonableness" of trying to fol-
low the advice and regulations of
their local Board of Health.
Immunization, which prevents
deaths from the two killer dis
eases, diphtheria and whooping
cough, as well as against smallpox,
is provided by most health depart
ments free of charge. The Health
League points out that as medical
science provides the means to wipe
out these diseases. it is up to the
general public to take full ad-
vantage Of the means of prevent
ing them.
