Polio Drive to End February 9 The 1951 march of dimes cam paign will end on February 9. Normally the fund-raising drive terminates at the end of Janu ary, but Mrs, Robert Martens, of Atkinson, county chairman, ex plained that the extension was needed to carry Holt county ov er its $5,000 quota. Climaxing the campaign will be the finals of the Holt county amateur contest to be held at the American Legion auditorium here. More than 41 entries had been filed until late Wednesday. Individuals and groups compet ed originally in the various com munities in an elimination con test and only the winners will appear here. The Atkinson Girl Scouts bested the Atkinson Boy Scouts in • mile of dimes con test. Firemen blew the city's siren twice and the Scouts combed the respective sides of the principal streets. The contest netted the polio fund $165.95—the girls gathering $98.07. Mrs. Barbara Mlinar is Girl Scout leader; Rev. E. G. j Hughes, Boy Scout leader. Heading the Atkinson polio push are Mrs. Ivan Dickerson, chairman; Mrs. E. C. Weller, vice-chairman. Stuart polio lead ers are Mrs. Don Krotter, chair man; Miss Alvara Ramm, vice chairman. O’Neill’s campaign, under the guidance of Mrs. Merle Hickey with Mrs. Larry Johnson as vice chairman, has hit the $1,500 quo ta, but more collections are still being received.
