Need For Continuing Polio Care Is
Emphasized AL Kick off Dinner

A Kickoff Dinner for the Coun-
ty Campaign March of Dimes,
sponsored by the Beta Kappa
Chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha
sorority, was held at the Coover
Club house Wednesday evening
January II, at ZOO.
Invocation was given by Mrs
Thomas Sisterhen. Mrs. Russell
Walls, Welfare Chairman, intro
duced the members of the County
Board of Infantile Paralysis, the
county chairmen, and the mem
bers of the sorority. Mrs. William
Hook introduced the speaker for
the evening, Mr.. II. F. tPat) Pas
ini, Ohios state representative OF
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
Mr.. Pasini'S speech emphasized
the following points:
He first asked the questions,
why do we need the March OF
Dimes now? ?" and why isn't polio
licked yet?" Then he gave the fol-
lowing four answers to these ques-
tionS.
First, I'm 1955-the year of the
Salk vaccine polio attacked about
10000 persons in the United Stat
es. The annual total was sixth
highest in 40 years of recorded
polio incidence. We have won a
great battle with the vaccine, but
we haven't won the war" said Mr..
Pasini. Polio strikes most frequ-
emily among children five to nine
years old. However. the proportion
of adults among the polio-stricken
has been steadily rising over rec
ent years. In 1914 only II per cent
of the cases were among adults. BY
1855 that percentage had more
than doubled. About 25 per cent OF
all polio cases now appear in adj
ults.
Second, Money is needed to re-
pair the lives of those who already
have the dread disease. There are
now fifteen strategically located
Respirator Centers supported by
the March Of Dimes, the latest one
being in Atlanta, Georgia. Our
own state has centers in Cleveland
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1956-01-17

and Columbus" These centers
have a rehabilitation team that
helps TO make the return home
possible for polio patients: physici-
an in charge, nurses, physical and
occupational therapists, medical
social workers, psychologists, ord
erlies, iron lung mechanics, and
brace makers.
Third, Scientific research is
still going on. We hope to make
this Salk vaccine better and better
as we go along. Many men are now
working on other vaccines. We will
be helping the general health of
the entire country by this research
program"
Fourth, $4,000 experts are need
ed to carry on the scientific and
research care. We need $4,000 nur-
ses, 5000 physical therapists, $500
occupational therapists, 5000 med
ical social workers and 1000 re-
habilitation counselors."
II think this county has done a
fine job in the past in your March
of Dimes campaign. 1t is one of the
smallest counties of the eighty
eight, and yet this past year ii was
18th in per capita raising. Since
1949 Madison County has jumped
from 23c to SOC per person, last
year being 426c The state aver
age is only 38c and the national
average is SAC, so you are doing
splendid work.
Mr.. Pasini personally thanked
Mrs. c. 0. Thompson for her untir-
ing efforts in the support of polio,
and Mrs Thompson, in turn.
thanked the members of the soror-
ity for assuming the responsibility
of co-ordinating the county cam
paign. Mrs. Thompson reported
that $5.81S47 had been spent last
year for polio patients in this
county.
After his talk. Mr. Pasini pre-
sented a film from the National
Foundation entitled, Remember
Me" The group agreed that this
film was certainly educational AMI
should act as an inspiring agent ~
do a good job In the weeks ahead.

Forestry Group
Names WickIine

George Wickline, of the Wick
line Lumber Company, London,
has been certified as Tree Farm
er by the Tree Farm Committee of
the Ohio Forestry Association, be-
cause of his sound management of
two woodland tracts, one in Hook
ing County and the other in Ross
County.
The first tract, five miles east of
Haines on Little Pine Creek, con-
sists of 273 acres. Protected from
grazing and fire since its purchase
in 1945, it has shown healthy re-
covery from partial cutting, and is
about ready for more extensive
harvest. The Ross County woods,
280 acres south of Adelphi off Rt.
180, was bought by Mr.. Wickline
in 1913. He has just completed a
logging operation there, but a con-
siderable portion of the tract has
not been cut, and plans are to hold
it for some years bsore harvest
ing.
Mr.. Wickline is a timberman
who is interested in a long-range
wood production program. His son
is in business with him.
