drive, designed to raise additional
funds to meet the costs of the vac
cine trials and increased need for
gamma globulin, during the period
of August 1881, it was announced
by William O. Treacy, Garrett
County chairman of the National
Foundation for mfautilc Paralysis.
At dinner meeting held at
Cabin Lodge Monday, Mr.. Treaey
designated Ralph Swauger, Of
Fricndsville, as chairman, and
Stephen r. Pagenhardt as treas
urer of the emergency drive. Mr..
Swauger in turn named the follow
ing local chairmen i'm the various
communities: Mrs. Charlotte Bar
nard, Bloomington; Harold Gar
rett, Crellin; Mrs Z. c. Chatter
buck, Deer Park; Mrs. Dan Hersh-
berger, Grantsville; Jesse Walker,

Mt. Lake and Loeb Lynn; Mrs f.

Charles Briner and Robert
Stemple, who in the past have been
active in polio work in the county,
volunteered their services to as
sist in mailing out requests to
residents of areas not covered by
a community chairman.
At the meeting it was decided
to conduct square dance in Oak
land on Saturday, August IS. The
Oakland Moose Lodge has donated
the use of the Moose Hall for the
event and it is expected that
musicians and a "figurc-calIer'
would also be procured free Of
charge Other activities were left
to the discretion of the local
chairmen.
1t was pointed out to the group
in attendance at Cabin Lodge that
similar drive was held in most
sections of the State and nation
last year at this time, but that the
Garrett County chapter at that
time was in a position to assist the
,lfeuonal program financially from
its treasury without the necessity
of drive. This year, however, the
needs Of the national chapter were
considerably above expectations,
due largely to the research pro-
gram conducted to find a practical
vaccine for the lasting prevention
of polio. The local chapter there
fore concluded that an emergency
drive would be necessary in the
county this year.
The local chairmen were given
coin collectors designed for the
emergency drive, for distribution
to the various business places in
