^^lio Foundation
'Solicits Funds
Four out of five of all reported
•^^ses of infantile paralysis require
®ld, in whole or in part, from funds
^^ised during the annual March of
^Imes of the National Foundation
Infantile Paralysis.
Even those who do not need di-
*'®ct assistance from their local
'Chapters benefit, however, because
'‘f better-staffed and equipped hos-
f'itals and more knowledge about
^featment, which have come about
P large part because of the March
Dimes.
Since the establishment of the
J^ational Foundation 13 years ago,
is estimated that costs of polio
f'atient care alone used up 94 per
'^^nt of a billion dimes—$94,-
'>00,000!
Of this vast amount, almost two-
fHirds was spent for patient care
'*1 the 1948-50 period, during which
^ staggering total of some 100,000
^ases was reported.
What 1951 holds in store for us
one can say. But approxipmately
^4,000 polio patients in 1950 needed
help for care or treatment,
^0.000 of those patients from 1949
earlier. From this picture, it is
^^ident that 1951’s responsibilities
^^e grave. The American people,
^^owing the need, must make the
^^5l March of Dimes the greatest
>^olio fund-raising drive in history!
