A m . Si; SVii-i ' F«w At Polio Chopter Meting Chairman Montgomery Worried At Apparent Lack Of Interest Keen disappointment waa expressed by J.*Doug Mont gomery, chairman of the Kershaw County Chapter of the National Folio Foundation, at v the very small attendance on the annual meeting of the chapter, which was held last Thursday afternoon in the Kershaw county court house. Although over 200 post cards had been sent out and a notice of the meeting had been printed in The Camden Chronicle only a mere handful of people attended. mainder of the year. Frank Rec tor, who has been campaign chair man, asked to be relieved of those duties but agreed to serve as vice campaign chairman. Chairman Montgomery reported at the meetii^g that the national foundation is being called upon for so much money that it may be necessary to conduct an emer gency campaign. The incidence of polio in the nation has been so great this year that the calls on the treasury of the foundation have been extremely heavy. President Basil O’Connor was quoted as having, said: National headquarters on De- year. Now even if the full 000 and the above noted ^ for research and National headqua __ available for patient care would not have not one dollar ‘1 am very much disturbed and disappointed at the lack of in terest shown by the people of the county in the activities of the chapter,” said Mr. Montgomery, who pointed out that last year Kershaw county received aid from the national chapter far in ex cess of what the county had con tributed. And he pointed out that if polio should strike here again the county would again receive aid from the national chapter. At the meeting last Thursday it was decided to change the date of the annual meeting of the local chapter to coincide with the fiscal year of the national foundation and this would mean that the an nual meeting will be held each January hereafter in January in stead of August. All of ths present officers consented to continue to serve until January. The officers are: J. D. Montgomery, chair man; Arthur Stokes, vice chairman; Mrs. W., C. Sal- mond, secretary; Dr. A. W.

If he sus pects polio he will report the case to the local health department and arrange for hospitalization or home care, as indicated. The Na tional* Foundation does not select itals. This is a ou have no family physician, call your city or county medical society, your board of health or the nearest hospital. 2— If your doctor says it is polio and requires hospitalization, the local chapter of the National Foundation will help arrange for transportation to a treatment cen ter. As soon as the patient goes to the hospital—or if your doctor advises the patient can be treated at home—get in touch with your chapter of the National Founda tion to arrange for any needed as sistance. 3— The chapter representative will notify the hospital that it is arranging with you for full or partial payment of expenses for medical care. Adults are as eligible for help as are children. Discuss with your chapter how much of the full bill the chapter will pay. March of Dimes funds are used to help the medically in digent—but this is not the same as “indigent”; it includes families of moderate income, who cannot meet the high costs of modern care of this expensive disease. The help is a gift—not a* loan. While families that can pay are expected to do so, no family is expected to impoverish itself to meet medical expenses for polio. Even if you can assume full costs for initial hospitalization, it ia a good idea to see your chapter.

Stofner Motor Company was awarded a plaque from the Chrys- ler-Plymouth home offices certi fying that five members of its service department have complet ed a year of participation in the school conducted here as part of the plan. _ _ Each course, prepared by fac tory experts, is designed along the lines of the “tell, show, and do” presentation of a basic service problem. Instructional materials supplied by Chrysler Corporation include sound slide films, large blow-up charts, handbooks and lesson plans. Although all instructional ma terial was supplied through Chryiler Corporation, Stogner Motor Co. converted his building into a school when classes were scheduled and Bob Sill, who is Shop Foreman in their Service Dept r assumed the role of in structor. The firm is among the first automobile dealers to use these advanced training methods. Members of the service depart ment who have completed the first year of the course are:'Ralph R. White, service director, Bob Sill, shop foreman, Claude Wil- liama, Julian Branham and Fur man Nay. The program has been installed in Chrysler Corporation dealer ships throughout the country, ana involves over 50,000 mechan ics. It has a two-fold purpose, according to W. A. Hilman, direc tor of service for the corporation’s Chrysler division. “we are keenly interested in helping dealers provide the best possible mechanical services for their customers,” Hilman, said. *Tf our program can help established mechanics to better themselves, we will feel that we are a beneficial contribution tows serving tne motoring public.” WANTS—FOR SALE FOR SALE—One 1942 streamline housq trailer, 2 rooms, sleeps 4, bottled gas, completely fur nished, in good condition, $500 Phone 7ft8-M. 22c WK TANS FOR YOUR BENEFIT We're mighty proud of a plaque recently awarded us.
