National Qiamn For '54 March Os Danes Anmunces Biggest Fund Drive to ffistory k)ites Polio Preventioii Hope as Impetus For Larg ' est Sum as 3,000,000 Volunteers Will Seek To Raise $75,000,000 In Contributions County and Community Campaign Directors across the country are ris ing to the challenge of the biggest drive in the history of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis by organizing the March of Dimes to reach every possible source of contri butions, according to Basil O’Connor, president. An estimated 3,000,000 volunteers ] are preparing to seek $75,000,000 in > voluntary contributions needed to fi nance the new program of Polio Pre vention and to support existing pro grams of research, patient and pro fessional education in the coming year. “This year volunteers will be im pelled by a tremendous sense of re sponsibility,” Mr. O’Connor said, “be cause. Polio Prevention will require, castly more money than was everj , dreamed of in early years.” j Y Prevention Is Attack For the first time in ths 16 years it has been fighting polio, the National Foundation will move from defense to attack by allocating $26,500,000 to Polio Prevention in 1954. Os the to tal, $7,500,000 will pay for mass test ing of a trial polio vaccine and $19,- 000,000 will provide more thah 2,000,- 000 inoculations of gamma globulin. Meantime, there will be no letdown in March of Dimes-supported research which seeks the final answer to polio. January collections also will sponsor professional training of physicians, nurses and physical therapists in the latest treatments for polio. In 1954, the National Foundation’s patient aid program, which since 1938 has assured the best medical care to polio victims, will continue to finance more than 66,000 carry-over cases in addition to assisting new patients. Although the Polio Prevention pro gram will be carried out in local com munities, the purchase of great quan tities of gamma globulin as well as the administration of the vaccine trial must, of necessity, be done at the national level. Fourth Front Costs One-third | The sum budgeted for Polio Pre-' ‘' vention is approximately one-third of the $75;000,000 needed for the overall program. The Board of Trustees of the Nat ional Foundation has voted, therefore, that one-third of the net proceeds praised in the 1954 March of Dimes be forwarded to National Headquarters to pay for the Polio Prevention program. | Community Campaign Directors turn over their entire net proceeds to the County Campaign Director. Af-| ter setting aside the one-third for Po lio Prevention he will divide the bal- . ance as formerly. Fifty per cent will stay in the coun-. try where the money is raised to pay for care of those infantile paralysis j victims who need financial assistance, j The remaining 50 per cent is forward ed to National Foundation Headquar ters for research, professional educa tion and emergertcy aid to chapters. Achievement of the needed $75,000,- 000 in the 1954 March of Dimes would mean that Chapters will have about the same amount in. dollars as they did in 1953. Last year’s campaign raised a gross total of $51,500,000. VFW Prxst Will A grain Sell Christmas Trees William H. Coffield Post, No. 9280, will again sell Christmas trees, it was announced early this, week by Com mander Bill Perry. Proceeds of the sale will go toward making a more happy Christmas for veterans who > are hospitalized. Trees will be sold at Bill’s Pure Oil Station, comer of Broad and Hicks Streets and will be delivered free at any time ordered. VFW members so licit orders in order to bring more Christmas cheer to veterans who will be obliged to spend Christmas in hos pitals. Honesty is more often a policy than a principle. . ..

The toll of his ignorance and lack of judgment will be heavy. All will be fearfuL The farmer will worry about his straying cows and horses. The local law enforcement officers will be wait ing for the first of a long series of hunting-season gun-law viola tions. Hunters have been reported stalking game in the dooryards of j farms and villages. Stray bullets l have been reported shattering ' windows and endangering house wives and children in their farm homes. Some villages and small cities permit hunting within their limits. This is usually done in spite of the protests of house wives and mothers. Some hunt ers feel that they are unable to chase small game properly with ont the stimulation of something stronger than tea. Probably the least likely to be hurt are the animals themselves. Unhampered by the complacency of civilized society, they are con ditioned to the need for hiding • from the amateur hunter. They are prepared. But the child playing in the woods or the farmer working in the fields is not. 180,000 Executives In Junior Chamber The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce, which is sponsoring the “March to the Mike,” is composed of 180,000 executives and professional men under 35 years of age. Known as “the fastest growing ‘young men’s civic organization in the world,” the Junior Chamber enrolled as one of the 10 organizations coop erating with the Crusade for Freedom because its members realize fully the menace of international communism. Already they have begun the work which Henry Ford 11, Crusade chair man, has declared necessary in order | to enlist 25,000,000 Americans in the campaign to inform America of the real nature and methods of the Reds. | The “Jaycees” grew out of a meet ing called in St. Louis, Mo., on- Octo . ber 13, 1915, by young Henry Giessen |bier. Only 32 young men attended. .They elected Giessenbier president and organized under the name of j“Young Men’s Progressive Civil As jsociation,” for the purpose of study ing public issues and arousing public opinion in civic problems. Soon similar organizations began springing up in other cities, and on January 21, 1921, the representatives of 24 cities welded the various clubs together as the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce.
