HADLEY'S "The Jewelers" Graham, North Carolina Financial Report On Polio A total of 110,618.24 was spent on infantile paralysis patients from Alamance county last year by the National Foundation and the local chapter together accord ing to the report of Barney P. Jones, Alamance county chair man. Meeting with other chapter members and C. H. Crabtree, North Carolina representative of the National Foundation, Chair man Jones five cases of polio from this county were given hos pital treament, while a like num ber did not go to hospitals. Of those sent to hospitals, two pa tients still remain in the rehabi litation center ait Charlotte, he announced. With a heavy expenditure of funds last year, the local chapter realizes the need for greater work and is planning to hold another meeting soon to enlarge the or ganization. Chairman Jones point ed out that one half of the a mount collected here for polio treatment and research remains in Alamance county for use wilth its citizens, while the other half goes to the Foundation to further the nationwide research program. Tentative plans call for the next meeting to be May 19 at a place and time to be announced later. Crabtree discussed chapter activities with the local people, and declared that an enlarged! unit will be of benefit to the com munity itself and to the state and nation. Polio cases did not reach the serious epidemic stage in this county during the seige it held on parts of North Carolina last sum mer, but serveral cases were re ported despite extreme health precautions. Broiler Production In North Carolina The production of poultry in this dtate has increased to the point that North Carolina is now sixth in the production of broil ers with a crop of 38,800,000 pounds and a cash value of more than $11,000,000. The broiler crop could go very much higher if there were better facilities for nutritional, breed ing and finishing studies in broi ler production. The Agricultural Department of North Carolina State College has a number of excellent poultry men upon its staff but others are needed if the broiler production is to be developed still further. The Agricultural Foundation, Inc., which was recently organ ized, expects to make it possible for some of the most outstanding poultry men in other states to be employed and added to the staff which is now advising and help ing our poultry men. The funds of The Agricultural Foundation, Inc., will be used to supplement the salaries which can be paid under the State Col lege salary scale and thereby se cure many of the top men hi the poultry world.
