THE HIGH COST OF SURVIVAL
How March of Dimes Funds Were Spent
for Polio Patients in 1957
OLD PATIENT^
»
Lest ws forget—Thousands of Americans have survived paralytic polio
—but with heartbreaking disabilities. To help them in their fight for
something better than msra survival is the aim of ths March of Dimes.
CHRISTMAS ROYALTY . . . Indians of Blood Reserve near Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, line up
for annual cash payment on oil, gravel and grain rights. 2,675 tribe members receive about $1,000,000
—$25 to $350 per family.
March of Dimes Opens
Operation Comeback'
The March of Dimes will launch its 1958 polio fund cam
paign here and throughout the country in January on the
dramatic note that for thousands of polio-blighted victims
“Survival Is Not Enough.” Most of the money sought in the
drive is needed to help disabled polio patients stage “come
backs” from helplessness to usefulness.
The Salk vaccine developed by the March of Dimes has
scored dramatically in preventing new paralytic polio cases,
officials say, but during the last year it has been necessary
to spend a total of $21,700,000^
in March of Dimes funds on
the care and rehabilitation
of patients. These patients
numbered 57,800, of whom
53,000 were victips of old
attacks.
Since most of this cost is in
the form of continuing care for
patients stricken in preceding
years, the obligation will con
tinue next year with very little
letup, it was pointed out.
Research Expanded
Additional funds are neces-
sary for an expanded research
program to explore many new
aspects of virology; for the
training of professional workers
in the rehabilitation and science
research fields; and for a still
•irgent program of public edu
cation to encourage use of the
Salk vaccine.
The campaign will be held
through the month of January.
A feature of the opening of the
campaign this year will be the
observance of the 20th anniver
sary of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, the polio
fighting organization which the
March of Dimes supports.
“This will be an occasion for
both recalling our victories of
the past, including the creation
of the Salk vaccine,” said Basil
O’Connor, president of the Na
tional. Foundation, “and for
looking ahead to new challenges.
Most important of all, it will be
the occasion for pledging our
selves to assist, insofar as wf
are able, those who were strick
en and now still need help.”

pROBABLY the most thankless
* task in a community affair is
that of the entertainment chairman
. . . This is the person who is as
signed the simple job of rounding
up names of drawing power who
are willing to go far out of their
way. devote some precious time to
folks they have never met and
probably never will again Tor gra
tis . . This past holiday season, we
had the dubious honor of being en
tertainment chairman for a most
important booth of a church bazaar
. . . The church was still under con
struction and the bafezar was. nat
urally, a fund-raising affair . . .
The teen record booth accosted us
to bring in a few names that would
draw teens and their parents from
other communities. A
It wasn’t easy, we can honestly
say . . . Sweet kids like Joy Layne
of Mercury and the Hi-Lights of the
Bally label made it appear easy at
first . . . They were ready, willing
and able to come out for personal
appearances and did on time,
too, bringing pictures which they
autographed by the droves
Their youthful and refreshing qual
ities impressed everyone, nothing
new for them but new and gratify
ing for audiences to discover
But. of course, there are also black
spots in such an assignment
Joy and the Hi-Lights are national
ly known, yet they took time out
of a busy schedule to drop in at a
remote baazar
On the other hand, there was
Ray Rayner, a local yokel who
manages to kid tho small fry iutd
the teen-agers each week as eraceo
of a children’s TV show and disk
jockey for a bandstand-record type
program . . . After several toll
calls to request the gre^l
presence (and remember, he’s lo
cal, not national as the two
who accepted were), we gave up
. . . We had left a message the first
time, but when we called agate tee
receptionist said Mr. Raynor want
ed to know fehat It was we wanted
... he gets so many, many calls,
don’t y’know ... So we left a mes
sage as to what we wanted,
that was the end of that.
