for Roek'ord’s type blood be
came low, the appeal was made

were supolied by y Neill people
going to Omaha for that purpose.

maxed an illness whirh be"=m
| in 1933. Relatives said that
ycung Rockford fought long
and hard against overwhelm
ing odds.
Born at Battle Creek on June
4, 1925, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. A. Rockford, he spent all ot
his life in Nebraska and finished
• two years of high school at Stu

1948 POLIO DRIVE
GETS UNDERWAY
Mrs. D. A. Kersenbrock,
of O’Ne’ll, Chairman
for County
Initial responses are already
being received in the 1948 fi
nancial campaign of the Holt
County Infantile P a r a 1 y s is
Foundation, according to Mrs. D.
A. Kersenbrock, of O’Neill, who
has been named chairman of the
drive in the county.
Mrs. Kersenbrock stated that
a yerr ago the county raised
$3,010.16. half of which stayed
in the county, the other half
going to the national founda
tion to help in the program of
research, hospital expansion,
end training of personnel in
the care of polio victims.
“During 1947,” Mrs. Kersen
brock continued, “the Holt chap
ter spent $1,280.17 for treatment
of five polio patients, making
good the chapter’s pledge that
no victim of infantile paralys s
shall go without care and treat
ment for want of funds.
Dime Campaign On
“The 1948 Ma.cn of Dimes is
in full swing now throughout the
nation. It is up to everyone in
Holt county to do his or her ut
most to put our own campaign
for funds over the top. Money
contributed to fight infantile pa
ralysis is the best insurance you
can buy against polio "
Although no quota has been
fixrd. off cials of the Holt
chapter are hopeful that all
previous records will be brok
en. The costs for polio treat
ment have skyrocketed and
larger contributions are neeo
ed.
