Mothers March On
Polio Sunday AT 2

The most intensive Mothers
March on Polio will take place
Sunday afternoon, January
10Th, from "a PM thru out
the state.
Polio struck in $40 families
in Suffolk County in this
years dreadful epidemic, but
every victim was offered free
disqualification and treatment
by the National Formulation
for Infanile Paralysis.
Mrs. Carroll Thomas, leader
in organizing this area, has
stated that there has been a
great amount of advance
planning for this March, but
it would be impossible with
out an outpour of volunteers
from among the residents and
mothers of this ward.
The chapter needs approx
mately 100000. to meet its
obligation for the care Of
these polio patients, 1879 o.

in addition to the 500 victinl

1t is hoped that members
of families who have been
directly affected, their friends
and relatives, will join the
March of Mothers by con-
tacting Mrs. Thomas or any
of her corp leaders: Mrs. Con-
norS, Mrs. Dorothy Belden,
