This Year Md i Worst in State’s History Os Polio " Through November 717 New Cases Have Been Reported This year has been the third worst polio year for North Carolina in the State’s history, Mrs. Phillips Russell, Director of the Organization for the March of Dimes, says. “I don’t believe it is realized by the general public,” she said, “that through November of this year North Carolina had 717 new cases of polio, and that the terrible epidemic year of 1944 (Miracle of Hickory) had only 861 for the entire year. The next worst epidemic came in 1948.” The 717 cases for this year are listed with the State Health Department. Mrs. Russell said-that “to meet the onslaught of infantile paralysis our , county chapters have once again had to call on the National Foundation in New York for help.' This year more than $200,000 has been advanced, but despite this the chapters have not been ivi^ru^nnruninj-u-Lru-u-ini ——-— | A FAMILY TRADITION .... — Gifts From !

C j able to meet all their medical and hos pital bills. We are waiting now for funds from the 1951 March of Dimes to meet these bills,” she said. 'IWe all must broaden our horizon in the all-out fight against polio,” Mrs. Russell declared. 'IWe must look beyond the borders of our own in dividual counties, beyond the borders of North Carolina, and look upon it as a nation-wide effort. In our need the people of other states have come in and helped us. Every dollar, every dime we’ve spent over and above the 100 per cent we’ve raised in years past in the annual March of Dimes has been contributed bj people in other states. “North Carolina, in spite of the ex cellent fund-raising campaigns since 1945, continues to oiperate at a deficit. We are operating now at a deficit of a million and a quarter dollars.” “The one hope to win out against polio, Mrs. Russell said, “lies in the field of research. Millions of the peo ple’s money gone into this re search work, but so far North Caro lina has not been able to contribute one dime to this all important effort” Richard D. Dixon, Jr., is chairman of Chowan County’s March of Dimes, and attended a meeting held in Eliza beth City Friday where plans for the 1951 campaign were discussed.
