MCPHERSON \
DISCUSSES
DIMES DRIVE

The ranks are wide open for
1853 March of Dimes volunteers,
Troy Mcpherson, County cam
paign director said today in dis
cussing plans for what he describ-
ed as the most vital polio drive
in history.
"a look at the record will show"
he said, "why we need all the
help we can get. By the end of
1852 the nation had suffered more
than $4,000 cases of infantile par
alysis-the highest polio incidence
ever reported. Patient care cost
ran into millions of dollars and,
with their treasures drained,
more than 1000 chapters Of the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis appealed. to head
quarters for additional polio
fighting funds before the years
end"
Mcpherson said that the num-
Der of volunteers mustered into
the campaign would have to be
increased in the same proportion
that polio has widened its impact
across the nation.
eve must keep pace with polio, v
Mcpherson declared. "That means
we must really step on it if we
are ever to overtake this dreadful
disease. Only through bigger con-
tributions of manpower and
money to the March of Dimes
will that become possible
The Columbus County CAMP
director asked all who want
"sign on" as March Of D:ra2>
hands to contact him at head
quarters of the local drive or Il
phone 2133.
"There is quite literally a very
crucial time in the history of your
National Foundation" Mcpherson
said.
"We have been able to do lot
through the March of Dimes. We
shall continue to do a lot, and
more, if the good people of CO.
lumbus County will throw their
strength of behind the March of
Dimes as volunteer workers"
