The annual March of Dimes cam-
pa.gn starts throughout the nation
th:s week to continue to the end of
the month. C. A. Seawright, of Lau
rens. has been named county chair-1
man to head the canvass, and will
have a number of interested citizens |
associated wiht him from all parts of
the county. ^
The need is urgent, we are told,
for putting on the greatest drive this 1
year in history because of the record
pc’.io epidemics of last summer and
tr.e soaring costs of care and treat
ment of patients stricken with polio.'
The dreadful disease is now on the
increase in the United States, we do
net know where or how severely it
w.ll strike next summer. This an
nual appeal is the sole source of
funds through which the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
can carry on the tight against polio.
This community should do its part
generously to help raise the county’s
quota for this most worthy and im-
oertant cause.
