Our next meeting will be February 24th, at the home of Mrs. J. R. Paul. Mrs. Ferd Brunkow, Reporter. John Jordans Move to New Location The many friends here of Mr. and Mrs. John Jordan will be interested in learning that they are now locating on the Beit Jamison farm, five miles west and a quarter of a mile south of Murray, making their new address as Nehawka. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan were formerly lo cated on the John Dietl farm, two miles west of Murray. Activities Are costing March mt of Dimes in State Reports from many counties throughout the state indicate special activities in addition to regular gifts in the March of Dimes campaign, according to U. of N. Chancellor Dr. R. G. Gustavson. Public auctions, dances, baskebtall games, and barbeques are among the special events. Farmers in Dakota county are "swelling the total by contributing corn to be sold for the benefit of the March of Dimes. "All of this is indeed encour aging," said Dr. Gustavson, "in view of the vital appeal and generous contributions so nec essary this year to continue the fight against polio. While sum mer time is the season for polio, the winter is the time to pre pare defense against epidemic and the resultant heavy finan cial expense." , During the 1943 polio epidem ic (717 cases in Nebraska) the largest in the history of the state, many local chapters ex hausted their treasuries and had to have immediate emergen cy advances to meet the needs for treatment of patients. With the epidemic nationally the sec ond largest in history, (27,484 cases) it became evident early that the National Foundation's Epidemic Aid fund might not be sufficient to meet the de mands. Accordingly, Mr. Basil O'Connor, President, declared a National Foundation financial emergency, early in the fall, and requested pooling of un pledged county funds. To meet the emergency, chap ters of the Foundation through out the nation were asked to make available any and all ! funds not then known to be needed locally. In Nebraska a special committee was set up to pool any and all unobligated funds from less severely strick en areas for use by their more unfortunate neighbors in other counties. Although 40 county chapters contributed $27,800 to the Nebraska state pool, it was necessary, in addition, to se cure advances from the Nation al Headquarters totaling $65, 549.77 during 1948. The cost to the chapters of the National Foundation on bekalf of: care and treatment of 847 polio cases in 1948 (includes care given to 130 cases carried over rom previous epidemic years) was $248,526.87. Help given to other states as well as Nebraska completely wiped out the National Epidem ic Aid fund before the year's end. Replenishment of this fund must come from generous contributions to the March of Dimes. Not only is it necessary to pro vide adequate medical care xf those stricken with polio, but the need is great to provide money with which to train more people qualified to help polio sufferers. Half of the money contributed to the March of BIRTHS Son: Born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Chovanec, Saturday, January 29th at the St. Catherine hos pital, Omaha, a son, weight six pounds and fourteen ounces. All are reported as doing well. The little one has been named Joseph John, Jr. The family have a daughter, who will be a year old on February 12. The mother is a native of Scotland. The little one is grandson of Mrs. Emma Chovanec, of this city. Dimes remains within the coun ty for care and treatment of polio cases within the county. The other half goes for research, training doctors, nurses, phy sical therapists and for national emergency aid. Overnight deliveries of ex press shipments by rail is as sured from the point of origin over an area 400 miles in di ameter, and air express is de livered overnight throughout an area 2,400 miles in diameter, according to Railway Express.
