a Job Well Done

Mrs. Charlotte Fleming is resigning this
week as the March of Dimes campaign
director in Noble county, after serving for
the past four years in very efficient man
ner on a volunteer basis
Mrs Fleming will continue as the
chapter chairman but, in the future, will
handle only the small amount of business
transacted now by the foundation.
With the developing of the Salk vaccine
and the tremendous progress made by the
March of Dimes foundation, Mrs. Fleming
rendered her resignation to state head
quarters, with the thought that the job for
many years has been terrific one but there
is little need now for a county wide
campaign, at least for Noble county.
During the past ten years. Noble county
has had only four cases of polio and the
chapter has aided these victims to the extent
of thousands of dollars.
However these victims now need very
little if any assistance, financially speaking
and with the Salk vaccine, it is not likely
that Noble county will have a widespread
epidemic of polio.
During the past several years, the Noble
County Chapter has acquired 81 ,89O.88 In It's
treasury as Of October /, 1857, and the
national headquarters is now calling in most
of these funds for rehabilitation purposes
elsewhere A check in the amount of 81 ,275.00
has been mailed to the national headquarters
and this leaves the county with balance
of $6l588 for patient care, If needed IN the
future.
Mrs Fleming and others on the execu-
tive committee feel now that if cards are
sent to the local and county schools, this
should be sufficient participation for Noble
county. This source alone usually realizes
at least $500
The annual Mothers march, however,
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1957-10-17

is usually sponsored in Caldwell by the
Mothers club and they may want to continue
this crusade, even though the money now
will be sent to other counties or states, where
previously stricken polio patients still
require treatment.
State Representative Robert Dauber is
now seeking replacement for Mrs. Fleming
as director and campaign to wage another
national March of Dimes is well under way
and organized on the state and national
levels.
Whether it will be successful on this
level where the money comes from, remains
to be seen.
In any event, Mrs. Fleming has done
a wonderful job in this capacity for the
past four years and the county organization
has been one Of almost perfection during
that time.
She is stepping down from this volun-
teer job with the knowledge that she has
served we'll, and efficiently, and above all
has given of her time and effort that polio
might be licked once and for all.
She has seen this accomplishment
largely through her efforts and those OF
the many volunteer women IN Noble county
with whom she has worked.
Success of the polio campaign now really
depends on the people and not the money
raised If they take the prescribed three
shots, polio could and has been held to ;
minimum If they don't, March of Dimes
won't do a thing toward making them Sail
vaccine conscience.
In the final analysis, it is entirely W
to the people in this county. If they take
the Salk vaccine, all is well and good. /
not, they can continue to raise money TO
a cause that isn't worth a nickle, becaus
the people won't cooperate. You be tn
judge.

Noble county can feel mighty proud to
have as it's favorite son the Hon. Robert I.
Secrest, who is now serving as a member
of the Federal Trade Commission, with
offices in Washington, D. c.
His selection as state representative from
Noble county in 1881 was the initial step in
his successful rise to political "stardom".
The mere fact that Ohio's baby county
provided HIM this opportunity, it is only
natural that it's citizens should feel honored.
In every subsequent election, Bob"
received most complimentary expression
of her people at the polls This feat is quite
noteworthy in that Bob's 'professed" party
affiliations remain the minority party in
number of voters, yet the results at elections
gave evidence of continued and increased
confidence in his work as truly great
legislator and statesman.

fully moved thru the Ohio legislature

epidemic proportions to many parts of the

cording to present indications, unless the
60-million-unit goal is exceeded.
Priorities are being set up in most COM
muinities so that vaccinations will be given
first to those who are needed to care for
the sick, to those engaged in maintaining
other essential services and to persons who
are high medical risks.
Present reports are that the disease is
spreading by leaps and bounds. 1t is impos-
sible, however, to know when or where it
may occur next or how extensive it may

While many communities will be struck,
it adds, there will probably be few deaths
due directly to the flu Most patients will
recover in three to five days but will remain
weak and exhausted for several more days.
1t is still very difficult for local physi-
clans to receive this vaccine and 1t is now
being given in the community ON priority
basis, set up by the government.
For instance, postoffice personnel IN the
entire county have received their shots"
but the vaccine was shipped directly to
Caldwell by the government.
Other Shots and they are still mighty
scarce, are being given by medical physicians
