reer in 1915 in North Carolina,
which was interrupted by the first
World War in which he served as
an army paymaster in France. Up

of the Federal Reserve Board in
1922, he was assigned to field du
ties, examining Federal Reserve
Banks throughout this country In

Washington and first served as a
special assistant to the governor of
! the reserve board in supervising the

dav and will continue for the en
tire month of January, pledged to
raise funds for the task of wimpgj
out infantile paralysis.
For Laurens county Judge J
Hewlette Wasson will again serve
as chairman and during the month I
citizens of the county will be asked !
to write the answer to the threat J
of polio edipemics next summer by j
providing for continued cans and!
treatment of polio f atienU, Mr. j
Wasson said
The campaign here will again be |
headed by J C Thomas, well 1
know n local business man The ;
drive will be made, he said yester
day, Similar to last year, and "we '
hope there will be a community- j
wide generous response ”
After four successive years of go ;
mg into debt the National Founda
tion will hold the March of Dimes
for four weeks this year instead of
two as in previous years in an ef
fort to put the fight against polio
on a '‘pay-as-you-go” basis, Dr
James A Hayne, state chairman for
the March of Dimes drive, said.
Facing an estimated deficit of
$5,000,000 at the end of 1951, Dr
Hayne said it is imperative that
the 1952 drive raise enough money
to wipe out the old debt and avoid
incurring another for 1952.
Eleven South Carolina counties
|alone in 1851 exceeded local fund-
collected in last vea:’s March f
i Dimes drive by $39,125, Di HiKno
