New Lives Goal Dimes March Director Says Making new lives for polio victims is a major goal of the March of Dimes, now in the second week of its drive for $64,000,000 in polio-fighting funds, according toDr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis. "From the ' time a polio pa tient is first diagnosed, skilled hands and wise heads are at his bedside to save a . life and '. re turn the patient to. normal liv ing," Dr. Van .Riper said. ;'For this, most patients need finan cial aid from the March of Dimes." National Foundation research and professional education pro grams constantly provide new knowledge and trained person nel, ,he explained. The even tual conquest of paralytic polio is the goal and I much progress has been made, but polio still cripples, he said. More Getting Rehabilitation "New treatment techniques, involving physical therapy and orthopedic surgery, plus im proved self-help devices can give mobility to many paralyzed arms and legs," he declared. A survey of 34,377 polio pa tients admitted or re-admitted to hospitals in 1953 showed that 6,298 of them had come back for this purpose, he added. Re ports of admissions and re-admissions to hospitals during the first nine months of 1954 list 5,577 patients in this category out of a total of 25,097 admis sions more than one out of five. Parallel Efforts Describing the goals of the National Foundation, Dr. Van Riper said: "While the preven tion of polio is our final objec tive, provision of the best avail able care and treatment must parallel our efforts to control it. "We must provide the kind of treatment that will allow polio patients to return to their homes prepared and able to take an active part in the life of their commu nity. You might say we must treat the whole person, not just the disease." , March of Dimes aid is essen tial, he declared. More dimes are vitally needed now to help thousands of polio patients re alize their potentialities. The campaign will continue until Jan. 31. Change Pictures If Unnoticed Says Nebraska U. Expert LINCOLN If you have been completely unaware of the pic tures in your home lately, may be its time for a change, says Magdalene Pfister, extension home furnishings specialist at the University: of Nebraska. V Pictures - should give . pleasure to .voir arid yout family, reflect lrig. your 'artistic tastes arid in terests. -If -they are unnoticed by family members, they cer tainly cannot be achieving their intended purpose, according to the specialist. Pictures should "fit the mood" of the room in which they are placed whether formal or more casual. Living room, pictures should have general r appeal. A picture placed In the dining room must also have general appeal, but may be gayer with brighter color than those in the living room. Bedroom pictures give an opportunity for a wider variety of subjects than any other room in the house. Here can be placed the framed pho tographs, the religious pictures which bring a feeling of rest, and the gay colorful prints which may be used as the color key to the room. The picture should be the cen ter of interest and its frame must compliment it rather than dominate it. The hanging of a picture is also of importance to display the picture to best ad vantage. Place pictures at eye level for your enjoyment and in close relation to other pieces of furniture. Pictures can do one of two things for your home, says the specialist. They can help make your rooms more colorful, inter esting and pleasureable, or they can just hang, creating no par ticular effect or serving no def inite purpose.
