Known by T.. P. Brinn, chairman of the Per quimans County Chapter of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Para lysis. , ,"So far this year," Dr. Brinn said, "according to the U. S. Public Health Service, the upsurge of polio cases nationally .has exceeded the rise dur ng, similar periods ever since infan tile, paralysis figures have been re ported by that agency." "We cannot tell how severely we may be hit," the chairman said, "but the- National Foundation and its chapters are prepared as never be fore. Long-range planning early this spring now is paying invaluable divi dends to, meet the present emergency. "Four polio emergency aid units have been established in cooperation with Stanford University, Harvard University. Northwestern Univprm'tv and . the D. T. Watson School ofl Physiotherapy." :j SeeLTge Ip Histqiy ' . These units, it was explained, are'Kin George II, who left Greece dur- coJhprised of an orthonedic 'surireon. pediatrician, orthopedic nurse, an epi demiologist and two physicial thera pists,: Upon request of state and lo cal, health authorities the untts go into epidemic areas, assist in setting up lacuiues .and help instruct local professional 1 personnel in modern methods of diagnosis and treatment of infantile paralysis. ., The Harvard unit was summoned to Florida last May The.Northwest srn University unit just recently was sent to Peoria, Illinois and it was al so pointed out that' wherever polio strikes heavily the emergency aid 'oups are' ready for immediate duty. "Chapters of the National Founda ," the chapter chairman stated, ing the acute shortage of s, are working in-close coopera a with the American Red Cross. diaries, maintenance and stranspor lation of nurses, recruited through the Red Cross for -work In polio, are paid by Foundation chapters. . Each chapter is fulfilling the Foundation's pledge' that no infantile paralysis pa tient need go without the best pos sible medical care and treatment for lack of funds." ' Should ' any -' chapter exhaust its treasury 4n providing for adequate care and treatment of victims in its area, national headquarters sends in supplementary. . financial , aid, Dr. Urinn said. ' Services of the' Foun dation and its chapters are rendered polio patients regardless of age, race, creed or color. ' . , ' , : ' Fear Vets Report, At Draft Office v .

Despite the fact that it was Am erican materials, in the form of planes, tanks, trucks and guns given under lend-lease, that enabled the Russians to stem the tide of the Nazi invasion of their own country, and the fact that Russia entered the war against Japan only after the first atom bomb had been dropped, the Reds this week, celebrating V-J Day, claimed full credit for victory over the Axis powers. According to the official Russian newspapers, no cre dit was due America, Britain, China or other nations engaged on the side of the Allies for the victories won. Western democracy won a victory J this week in the power-politics game .being waged in Europe when citizens of Greece voted for the sreturn of i ir the war.

Violence marked the balloting nd more than 40 persons were re- .ported killed during the election.

Following a league directors' meet- ing last Saturday night, at which time Elizabeth Citv was ruled out of a fourth place tie in the final league standings, the play-offs in the Albe marle Baseball League got under way Monday night with Windsor at Hertford and Colerain at Edenton. Hertford lost its opening game by a 9-0 score, but later entered a protest on the question of eligibility of a Windsor player.

Webb was on the mound for Hert ford in the opening game and allow ed 14 hits, while Ted Miller, pitching for Windsor, allowed four. An um pire's decision in the seventh in ning allowed Windsor to Bcore two runs and probably affected the- play for the rest of the game. At Edenton in the opejning game there Colerain, fourth place contender for the championship, turned back the Colonials by a 7-1 score. The second game of the play-off was held Tuesday, with Hertford at Windsor. The Indians handed Wind sor a 2-1 defeat, while Edenton won from Colerain by the one-sided score of 18-4. Reeves did the pitching for Hert ford at Windsor and allowed seven hits, while Hertford collected six off Schultz and Jarlett, Windsor hurlers. Windsor scored their one run in the first, while Hertford scored twice in the sixth. The Hertford runs were made when Kimbrell hit safely and advanced to second when Canton was safe on an error. Kimbrell scored on a wild throw and Cayton, who ad vanced to third 'on a sacrifice, stole home for the winning run. The winning;' teams m the semi finals must stake three out of five games to advance into the final play, which will be decided by a team win ning four out of' seven games.
