PAGE EIGHT Appeal Is Made For Epidemic Aid Fund To Help Polio Cases Chowan Chapter Will Contribute Most Os Funds On Hand J. Edwin Bufflap, Chairman of the Chowan County Chapter of the Nat ional Foundation For Infantile Paral ysis, has been informed by Jack E. McGee, Eastern State Representative, that the epidemic aid fund at national headquarters will be completely ex hausted by the first of November. Due to this condition, contributions are being requested from chapters with uncommitted funds to enable all the members of the National Foun dational family to fulfill their pledge to the American people to give finan cial assistance where needed to all polio patients. The epidemic aid fund is issued to make advances to those chapters whose treasuries have been drained by the heavy case loads they are car rying out. At the beginning of Sep tember, 759 of the Foundation’s 2,- 800 chapters were depending upon this fund to continue financial assist ance to those afflicted with infantile paralysis. Polio incidence has been more widely spread than in previous years. The neighboring states of South Carolina and Virginia are un dergoing the same kind of polio year which North Carolina experienced in 1948. In addition, Texas and Cali fornia are having their perennial epi demics. 'Polio incidence in North Carolina . was 552 cases on October 2, 1950. In spite of this relatively light incidence, it has been necessary for National Headquarters to advance $161,352.52 ■ from the epidemic aid fund this year 7* and a BUY 1 Inow it can be told.
