 This is the theme announced by March Of Dimes headquarters for the campaign that will be car rled on through January.
 The job is twe=foId: To raise funds for repair of the damage that polio has done to thousands of Americans in the past and to prevent the disease from efippl- ing more thousands in the future.
 March of Dimes spokesmen ex- plain that an estimated 80,000 persons have been left handicap ped by polio, throughout the len gth and breadth of the United States; and they point out that the job of eonquering the disease cannot be considered finished un- til these patients have been help ed to regain normal and produc- tive lives.
 The second objective of the campaign is to promote the wid- est possible use of the SaIk vac cine, which was developed un- der March of Dimes sponsorship, and which has been proven safe and effective many millions of times over.
 Commenting on the 16,000 cases of polio reported in 1856, Basil O'Connor, president of the March of Dimes organization, said.
 We of the March of Dimes are determined that 1857 shall not see a repetition of the polio rec. ord of 1856. Even so, we know there will be attacks of the dis ease, and we must provide for the care of all who need it. :" ...
 We must also remember, MT. 0Connor added, those persons for whom the vaccine came too late. When we give to the March of Dimes, we are helping those who need help and protecting those who don't"
