NORTH CMOUNA GETS HffiH RETURNS ON
ITS CONIMBtITIONS FOB FIGHTINC POUO
In spite of five straight million
dollar plus campaigns in North Caro
lina, many counties in this State have
received from the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis, “thous
ands of dollars in excess of every dol
lar they have raised for this cause.”
This fact is revealed by Secretary of
State Thad Eure, who served as State
Chairman of the 1953 March of Dimes
this year, which raised a total of sl,-
236,000, an increase of more than six
per cent over last year’s contribu
tions. North Carolina raised 30%
cents per capita, Chairman Eure said.
“During the last five years North
Carolina has given a total of $5,784,-
680 to the polio fight,” he reported.
“Half of this has remained in local
communities for financial help to our
own infantile paralysis cases. Large
sums of money have come back to
North Carolina local chapters from
the National Epidemic Aid Fund. In
1948 alone our chapters received back
from the National Foundation more
than a million and a half dollars, and
in 1949 .they received $1,040,000.
Every year, without fail thousands
come back into the State.”
Chairman Eure said “North Caro
lina’s mothers and fathers realize, as
National President Basil O’Connor
says, that this great program, through
rapid strides being made on the re
search front has reached the point
where redoubled effort is essential for
final victory. They have responded in
line with the need.”
President O’Connor reports, Chair
man Eure continued, that eighty mil
lion Americans contributed $51,500,000
in this year’s March of Dimes. This
is a new record, being 24 per cent
higher than the 1952 total, O'Connor
said. ,
Chairman Eure points out that
North Carolina is below the national
average in per capita contributions,
with 30% cents compared to the na
tional average of 34 cents. Both fig
ures are based on the 1950 census, he
added.
The preliminary financial figures
showed that all 48 states exceeded
their 1952 contributions, with Nevada
showing the largest percentage of in
crease. Other large increases were
reported from Minnesota! lowa, Michi
gan, Nebraska and Nfiw Mexico,
, O’Connor said. .The top per capita
figures were Recorded by Nevada,
which averaged 94 cents, while Wyom
ing, tvith 69 cents, and Idaho, with 65
cents, came next in order.
President O’Connor paid tribute to
the 2,000,000 March of Dimes volun
teer workers who conducted the fund
raising crusade in 100,000 communities
throughout the nation.

this year totaled 891,044,000, compar
ed with 894,623,000 during the same

chicks for farm flock replacement and
broilers continues good. The number
of eggs in incubators on May 1 was
10 per cent larger than on May 1 last
year.
