JANUARY 15-10
YEAR-BOUND BATTLE
Hie 1947 march of Dimes begins
January IS and runs through January
30. But throughout the year infan
tile paralysis attacks daily?and our
doctors and scientists are still on the
offensive against the malady. For
14 days we are afforded the oppor
tunity to furnish year-round ammu
nition?to pit our dimes and
against a ruthless enemy of tfaa~j)j?jj
tion and its children.
The polio virus is one of the most
dreaded foes of American families.
It strikes swiftly, silently, with
scarcely perceptible waning, eating
away nerve centers, wasting muscles,
maiming limbs, taking Uvea.
Without unstinting' contributions
each year to the Mkrch of Dimes,
the average American family would
stand helpless against the onslaughts
of poUo.
Infantile paralysis presents a for
midable picture in any family budget
Thife cost of earing for a patient aver
ages about $1,000 a year?some cases
up to $2,000?and stretching over ex

years?involving hospitalization, of
tentimes surgfery, in moct rases phy
sical therapy treatments, muscle sub
stitution training and vocational re
habilitati?(?j|
Contributions to the March of Dimes
have made possible s bulwark against
financial anguish when polio strikes.
Through gifts to the March of Dimes
in the next 16 days, the National
Foundation for InfontiM Paralysis
will be enabled to fulfill its pledge
of cam and treatment for every polio
victim, regardless of age, race, creed,
color or lack of finances.
These dimes wage a great defen
sive waf. Mime, they lead a frontal
attack in research, allowing men of
medicine to be ever on the quest for
better treatments and an eventual
cure.
Last year our dimes marched
against ooe of the most disastrous
polio epidemics to sweep the nation
since 1916, the worst in our country's
history. When'the final tally for
1946 is complete indications are that
is will exceed 20,000 victims.
It is gratifyirg to know our
gifts helped alleviate the mental and
physical suffering of these victims
and their families. It must be with
itrmination to win the fight

There's no use in refusing to let
your wife have her own way?shell

The best way to find the buried
treasure is to plant the seeds today.
A few persons are born rich, while
others have to enter politics to get
that way.
A widow who inherits a complicat
