They are two of the 32,160,000 children in the United States under 16 years of age. EaA one of the^ chil(^en is a candidate for infantile paralysis this year. Your child and mine may be two from the thousands who will up twisting and turning in their b^ds fever and struggle to straighten spasin-drawn li^bs. Yes tferday their legs raced through a routine school day, per haps a ballet lesson, and a dozen games of their own in vention. Today their legs won’t work. This is infantile para lysis. It picks its victims from this wealthy home, that tenement—^from farms, war production centers, children of our fighting men, small towns and large cities. All children are equally defenseless against this enemy. Re gardless of what each chiW Has known before, each one stricken by the crippling vir® will feel the same fear of the unknown. More cbildrm contracted infanijle para lysis in 1944 than in any comiar&ble period in many recent years. | ' ^ , But, because of the enorts of the thousands of vol unteers, each tragedy-hit cMd will have every chance for recovery through the commete scientific aid proidded by The National FoundatipnTfor lifantile - Paral3rsis.

OtOern kapMAi pareBta,’ Hr. «M’l oil, of WIT 37 Wilkes children were stricken with infantile paralysis, more than $30,000 was spent by the National Foundation in treating Wilkes chUdren. As a result of the expenditure of polio funds for care and treat ment of. Infantile paralysis cases at Hickory and Gastonia, many of the 3l*Wllke8 victims of the dis ease have made substantial pro gress toward recovery from the effects of the dreaded disease and some cases are classed as com pletely recovered. It has been found that the care and treatment of infantile para lysis cases costs an average of ten dollars per day for patients. Practically all of the 37 cases from Wilkes were hospitalized at Gastonia and Hickory during the past summer. ’The period of treat ment ranged from a few weeks to several months, and a number of the cases are still In the hospi tals. Several which have been dla- charged must later undergo oi>erationB, others will need costly hrWBM- WBd speetat" shoes from time to time. ’The costs will con tinue to grow. Thus It Is seen that while the $6,250 may be considered a large amount In comparison with the sums raised In former years, it is only a fraction of what the Na tional Foundation has expended to cure 'Wilkes children and to make It posslWe that they can lead normal lives without physi cal handicaps which infantile paralysis so often leaves in its wake. Sam Ogllvie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Ogllvie, of Oakwoods, and who holds the position as clerk to Selective Service board number two in North Wllkesboro, has been appointed Wilkes county chairman by Dr. Ralph McDonald, North Carolina chapter chairman. Mr. Ogllvie, severely stricken with Infantile paralysis at the age ot 17, received treatment at Warm Springs, Ga., and has first hand knowledge of the great benefits provided Infantile paralysis suf ferers by the National Founda tion. A list of the infantile paralysis patients In Wilkes county during the 1944 epidemic appears else- whd)*e on this page. Perusal of the list will show that the cases were distributed throughout the county, and that all sections of the county benefitted from In fantile paralysis fntMls. The plans for the campaign for funds will be c’ounty-wlde, and every person In the county will be given an op portunity tff contribute. In some few cases in Wilkes, parents of stricken children were able to pay the high cost of treat ment and care of patients, but the amount expended for those who could not pay was approximately $30,000 and much more will bo i expended In continued treatment, braces and equipment and re habilitation of the crippled bodies of the victims. Mr. Ogllvie points out that hall of the funds will remain In Wilkes to be expended by the Wilkes chapter of the Foundation for continued treatment and care ot polio "Victims, and tbe remainder, wll} go to the National Fourdm- tlon, which spent about $500,000 t in North Carolina during the past'' ' year In treatment of infantRq' . paralysis patients.
