Dimes 1852 campaign, according
to Basil O'Connor, president of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
Mr.. Radcliffe has headed the
State campaign since 1888 and in
accepting the appointment for an
other year said he felt he was TAX
ing up this post lat one of the
most critical moments in the Ma
tional Foundations history"
He said the March of Dimes has
not kept pace with the march
of polio and during the last three
years that polio has been on the
upsurge, the Foundation has end
I'd each year in debt. He said the
1852 campaign will begin on Jan
uary 2 instead of January Is in
order to double the usual two
weeks period of the drive.
One of the most active workers
in the Nation in behalf of polio
victims, Mr.. Radcliffe pointed out

help in this next appeal" =
and "hope that everyone in the
State of Maryland who can con-
tribute his time and effort will
contact his local March Of Dimes

Lone Oak Pupils
Number 1873 as
NeW Term Begins

The 1913 pupils enrolled prior to
September 10 at Lone Oak School
were as busy at work in their
classrooms Monday, the first day
of school, as if vacation had never
interrupted their schedule.
The previous weeks planning of
teachers with small groups of pu-
Pills called in to help resulted in all
the regular activities of the school
getting off to a record start. Pa
trolls were at their stations; par
ents were on hand to serve as
hostesses for new parents and to
register late entrants; bells called
out the regular hours and the
school year was off to busy but
smooth start.
Through careful study of the
needs of the school and it's pupils,
and through cooperative planning
of the parents and staff, a pro-
gram has been planned to make
best use of all opportunities pro-
vided.
The half day when lower grade
children are not in the school
classroom will be used by teachers
and pupils for enrichment of the
regular session in school. This
time out of class affords oppor-
tunity for teachers to visit homes
and work with individuals who
need special help. 1t gives oppor-
tunity for teachers and parents to
take small groups on field trips
where they can observe and gather
data relating to the work being
