State Chairman, reported from State headquarters here today. The goal which North Carolina | has set this year is $83,348 TTiis is slightly less than the $89,366 ( which was actually raised in 1943. but the Committee expects to ex ceed last year's total, due to the increased income of most of tjie people of the State. Mrs. H. L. MacMillan of Raleigh has accepted appointment as Sta'e Chairman of the Women's Division this year. The campaign will close Janu ary 31. More birthday balls are being planned this year than were held last year, it was said. Fifty percent of the money raised will be retained by local ' communities for their special needs and the remaining 50 per cent goes to the National Founda tion (or research, education and epidemic aid. The high cost of epidemics is illustrated by the 1943 outbreak of infantile paralysis which was the worst in 12 years. Chairman Mc Donald pointed out. "Almost 12.000 persons men. I women and children ? were strick en with this disease last year. Only twice before In the recorded history of infantile paralysis have theie been more cases reported. "It costs about $1,800 to give a year's care and the Kenny treat ment to one patient", he said "Thus, if all of the 12.000 patients required one year of care and this type of treatment, the total cost would be $21.600000 or 216.000. 000 dimes. Fortunately, this is not required, for the dimes and dollars given by the American peo ple materially lessened the toll of providing swift medical atteti. tion, which spared many from crippling and also saved many dollars."
