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.

‘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

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

‘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.

Let’s all help in finding a preventive and cure for polio.
