SECTION TWO—:
TOWNS VIE FOR RECORD PER CAPITA
CONTRM)NS TO RURCH OF DRIES
The money to fight polio through ]
the March of Dimes comes from all
over the country—from small towns
and counties as well as the big cities.
While several of the largest cities
contribute over a million dollars each,
it is the small communities that set
the records for per capita contribu
tions. With the national contribution
averaging 34 cents a person, here are
some outstanding achievements of the
last March of Dimes.
Melba, Idaho, with a population of
less than 200, claimed the national
record by raising almost SSO for every
man, women and child in the com
munity. A day-long auction of con
tributed items ranging from cakes to
calves enabled Melba to raise this
high amount.
Oregon Town Beat Melba
The spur that aroused Melba to new
heights also worked in Izee, Ore.—
population 43—when this village beat
Melba’s 1952 March of Dimes record
of $27 per capita by raising $34
apiece at a basket social held January
10, 1953. Basket socials used to be
away of courting or raising funds to
hire a teacher for a new rural school.
Now they have joined the fight |
against polio.
As small towns and villages set
community records in the March of
Dimes, sparsely populated counties al
so made per capita contribution rec
ords.
Mineral County, Nev. won the nat
ional title with a per capita contribu
tion of $2.53 a person. Over $14,000
was raised among her 5,560 inhabi
tants. Jeff Davis County. Texas came
in second with contributions averag
ing $2.21 a person.
Other Leaders
Other counties in the 10,000-and-un
der population class that made out
standing records were: Kiowa, Colo,,
with $1.75 per person: Mono. Calif.,
with $1.61: Sioux. Neb., with $1.53;
Cameron, Pa., with $1.49, and Ida
lowa with $1.48.
These are just a few of the small
counties that raised over a dollar per
person to aid in the fight against po
lio. Whether small communities have
bigger hearts or more intimate knowl
egde of the disaster of polio is not
measurable. But their high per capi
ta contributions are vital weapons in
the battle to wipe' out the disease.
During the 1954 March of Dimes it
is a sheer necessity for the National l
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to i
raise 50 nor cent more than last year.
This increase can come only from
greater contributions from everyone
in small communities, and big cities
alike.
New Prevention Program
In stressing the need for a bigger
March of Dimes than ever before.
Basil O’Connor, predden* of the Nat
ional Foundation said: “Tlie new po
lio prevoi tjon program will hi' th*
hardest.'blow against polio we have
ever struck. Wide-scale valichty tests i
of a trial polio vaccine this year and
the expanded use of gamma globulin
as a stopgap protective measure in
1954 mark a dramatic advance. I,ike
all advances, it is expensive, hut the
fight dare not be weakened when vic
tory seems almost in sight.”
Mr. O’Connor added. “No one knows ,
just which community and county will i
wind up as 1954 March of Dimes
champions in size of per capita con
tributions. But judging from past
heart-warming performances, I pre
dict it will be a town or village under
a thousand and a county under ten
thousand.”
Fertilizer Supply Is
Said To Be Adequate
However. Farmers Are
Urged to Buy Needs
Early
The fertilizer supply for this year
looks very favorable in North Caro
lina, the state whose farmers use
more plant food than any other. But
the w*ord goes out for farmers to or
der their supply early.
C. W. Overman, County farm agent
for the State College Extension Ser
vice, reminded farmers that there
frequently are spot shortages of cer
tain favored materials —even in a year
of good over-all supply. “The best
way to have the right type and the de
sired amount of fertilizer available
when it is needed is to order early.”
Tar Heel farmers used 1,850,000
tons of fertilizer during the 1952-53
crop year, slightly less than the pre
ceding year. The state’s agricultural
leaders have urged farmers to con
tinue to boost their yields by apply
ing plant food “where it is needed in
the quantity it is needed.”
Overman says that with sound fer
tilizer management this year Chowan
County farmers need not worry too
much about declining farm prices.
The county agent says a recent
USDA report indicates that fertilizer
supplied over the nation will be up 11
per cent for the 1953-54 crop year.
The amount of nitrogen will be about
2 million tons, phosphates about 2 2/S
million tons, and potash a little under
2 million tons.

I Fit Coats And Suits
For Ease Os Action
“Size is most important in buying
a coat or suit,” says Julia Mclver,
State College extension specialist in
textiles and clothing.
Miss Mclver cautions you to beware;
of the clerk fitting a coat too small |
to wear ov A r a suit or heavy wool j
dress. It’s a good idea when buying
a new coat to wear a suit on your
shopping trip to insure the correct fit
of your ccat. Pay particular atten
ion to the fit of the coat over your
shoulders and chest. And be certain
that it is comfortable around the neck
when buttoned.
The fit at the shoulders is the most
crucial area in a coat or suit, explains
Miss Mclver. If the shoulders fit
other seam.? ran usually be let in or
out to fit. But if you get off to a
“wrong start” with shoulders that are
too big or too small, your garment
will probable never look right.
“When you try on a < oat or suit.”;
says Miss Mdver, “your first step is
(toward a mirror.” You are looking'
I for both flattery and fit. To look
well on vou, a suit must fit perfectly,
from the shoulder to the hemline.
Examine your appearance in a full
length mirror scrutinizingly as you
try on a new suit. Does the jacket
hang evenly? Does the skirt fit well
without “clinging?” Are the should
ers too broad or just right for you ?
Does the collar gap at the back or lie
smoothly on your neck ? Does the
back of the jacket bulge at the should
