From now through Monday night communities all over South Carolina and the Nation will be holding the annual Mothers’ March on Polio, an annual fund-raising campaign for the March of Dimes. Why is the public being asked to give? Where does the money go? The following letter is one mother’s answer to both questions. It is from Mrs. W. W. Dukes, Jr. of Orange burg, S. C., whose daughter, Peggy, was stricken with polio. Mrs. Dukes writes: Support the Mothers’ March of Dimes, and then goes on to say: “Give the amount you actually know you can spare, not just what you think you can spare. If your contribution is in anyway responsible for further research and an eventual cure for polio, you will feel repaid many times over. What you give is not a donation. It is a possible down payment on the future health and happiness of your child. «n ‘I speak as one of the many Mothers who have wit nessed this dread disease. When we see a polio victim in braces our hearts are filled with pity. Thank God that hot mm Pis is:® • * D&n Whitaker Ross of Anderson is determined to be an athlete. But the three<and-a-half year old youngster stiU has a long way to « i go before achieving his goal. He was stricken with polio when he was only four months old and only recently has been able to get around with crutches and braces. Several thousand dollars in March of Dimes fUnds^iave been spent In an effort to restore his health. He is shown here on his way to the athletic field to get a little "practice.” * many of you have seen a child in tie jicute stage of polio myelitis. The fever, the pain, the gasping for breathi the eyes filled with bewilderment. Eyes that you will never forget. Eyes you can’t answer. You stand helplessly by and watch the dread paralysis gradually take over inch by inch the body of your beautiful,*healthy child. “The National Pblio Foundation desperately needs funds for research, funds to keep the patient alive, and finally funds for the orthopedic work done on the thousands of polio damaged bodies ■ r .aciTi.'! v. ; iSlipF it . » ‘Again, I say, go all out to support the Polio Foundation. / You as parents can only pray that the goal is reached. None of us know when the next victim may be one of your loved ones. T am not sending this plea fos my child, but for your child. I would give any amopnt to spare you and your chil dren the anguish and agony that my child and I have been through. cv*. i it Let’s all help in finding a preventive and cure for polio. a .
