Local Contributions
Needed For National
Treatment and Research
Three devastating years of the worst polio epidemics in history have wiped out patient care funds of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, and left unpaid bills of $<5,000,000.
So the 1951 March of Dimes, which opened January 15, must raise $50,000,000 nationally, and it is hoped Rappahannock county will raise $1000.
This sum is essential to enable the Foundation and its local chapters to provide financial aid, equipment and skilled workers for the thousands of children and adults who will be victims this year, and for those needing care from earlier years. Also, the Foundation must continue to pay for research in the treatment and prevention of polio, and the training of professional personnel. . "Let us jneet this financial crisis, and give freely to conquer this vicious enemy," Mrs. T. C. Lea, chairman for Rappahannock March of Dimes, urges.
Robert L. Brown, a worker for the drive campaign reminds that a benefit movie will be held January 25, at 8 o’clock in Washington Theatre, and that a. benefit dance will be given Friday night, January 26, at Rappahannock High School.
