The March of Dimes The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis established some 13 years ago by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt, holds annual drives (or the raising of funds to fight this dread disease. The public has always responded generously to these calls, known as the march of dimes, but the need today is greater than ever before. The foundation found out early in the fight that, while funds to ease the needs of those afflicted were vastly important, the means to carry on research was vital. The aid to those already attacked did nothing toward eliminating the cause. Today a great deal is being done along that line, and the time may come when this most crip pling of all diseases can be conquered. One of the earliest activities of the foundation was the awarding of scholarships and fellowships. Started in 1938, a total of 2552 of these had been awarded up to November 15, 1950. The numbei in each state varies according to population. New York is high with 376, while Nevada, rather free from the disease, has only one. in Nebraska 29 have been awarded. During the year 1950, with records available only until Decem ber 2, a total of nearly eight million dollars was advanced to 990 chapters located in nearly every state in the union. The largest a mount, $695,820, went to 88 chapters located in Texas, while the one chapater in Nevada drew nearly $1,500. Nebraska’s 19 chapters drew $61,105. Rhode Island and Georgia drew none. The foundation has just passed through three ol the worsi years in its history, with the disease attacking more children than ever before, and for this reason all funds are practically exhaust ed. What conditions would have been without the active campaign made against polio is impossible to determine but terrible to con template. Polio struck down more than 30,000 children and adults in 1950. Some of these recovered without crippling effects, but many died and other thousands were crippled for life. Half the money raised in all polio campaigns remains with the local chapters to be used for local patients or be sent to aid others in time of epidemic. It is hardly necessary to urge upon the readers of this paper the need to furnish funds to fight this disease. Several local people have fallen victim, especially in the past three years, some will never walk normaly again. We all would gladly give that they might walk, but for them it is too late. Funds are needed to strike polio at its source, to eliminate the cause of the disease, to learn just what that cause is. Funds are needed to get quick action on all polio cases to give them the best medical care possible as soon as the disease is recognized, and not af ter it has become established.

LA is spread over the county by that name, in which dwell, labor, a chieve, loaf or gain a liveli hood by hook or crook of one kind or other Romaine something over Saunders two million pa .riots, with a sprinkling of red rebels. The whole is surrounded by dark and gloomy mountains, with the vast Pacific a score of miles from where my daughter and family live, with whom I stay. Southern California wants rain. Sky has dribbled a little during January. Nights are cold and morning dawns on frost-covered may be bright and warm, lawns at times. If not overcast with rainless clouds and a gloom the natives call smog, the day Bring your winter clothes for a sojourn in Southern California. • • • There are some former O' Neill citisens in the Los Ange les community. I have met one, my sister - in - law, Laura B. Meals. Miss Meals makes her home in Santa Barbara but is staying with an aunt in Los Angeles while she ministers from day-to-day to her brother, Albert, born in O'Neill, who is confined to a hospital at pres ent. Will Lowrie. another O' Neill boy of the long ago, is spending the winter in San Diego. • • • There was 6 or 8 inches of snow in eastern Nebraska when I boarded a Union Pacific train at Fremont a cold January night. Western Nebraska, southern Wy oming and deserts of Utah, Neva da and California were all snow less and rainless except on moun tain tops. Fifty years have been marked off on the scroll of time since my first contact with south ern Wyoming. Its vast, unoccu pied miles of grasslands remain the same today. Indeed, there is but little change since Bill Nye made the country known to civil ization through the medium of ! his Laramie Boomerang. • • • The news trumpeteers of the Hearst section of the press are gogetters for pictures and hair raising stories of human depravi ty, scape graces and hijacks. One gent in this class got away i with three thousand dollars’ worth of groceries from a loaded truck. A Missouri product is in jail charged with six murders. * • * The Herald-Express gis*es it out that Mr. Truman is a very ordinary American who is seeking the extraordinary au thority of a Roman emperor. • * • This is my third visit to the land of orange blossoms and doubtless would be the last had I no tribal connections here. This community is a bonanza for lawyers. But there are hearts of sympathy throbbing every where. A notable lady of screen land calls upon the womanhood of Southern California to join in a united prayer effort for the GI’s in Korea and that world peace may be attained. * * * It is reported from Sacramento that there are four and a half million automobiles and trucks in the state. The state budgets call for more than a billion dol lars but Governor Warren as sures the citizens there is to be no increase in taxes. 7 Holt Children Aided by Sociley— Seven Holt county children were aided last year by Nebras ka Children’s Home society, ac cording to the reports at the an nual meeting in Omaha Wednes day evening, January 17.
