if the local chapter and the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis:
The March/of Dimes chairman
disclosed that reports of the Unit
ed States Public Health Service
over the past 15 years show the
totally unpredictable waves of in
fantile paraysis across the na
tion. Further, these charts, which
have been published by the Na
tional Foundation as part of its
education service, indicate that
an epidemic in a given area a
year or two ago does not im
munize that area during next
summer's polio danger period.
"A war does not end with the
signing of an armistice," Mr.
Ogilvie said. "Neither is an epi
demic of infantile paralysis over
when the last new case of the
prevalent disease has been record
ed. There remains the grim real
ity of the aftermath. The greatest
cost is yet to come—the cost of
aftercare and rehabilitation of
the stricken."
Mr. Ogilvie cited various in
stances throughout the country
where local chapters had paid
out record amounts for patient
care last year despite low local
polio incidence. Even without
epidemics, many such chapters <
found it necessary to apply for
additional aid from the emergen
cy fund of the national head
quarters, to .care for those strick
en in previous years.
"In all, more than 400 local
chapters in 42 states received aid
from the emergency fund of na
tional headquarters," Mr. Ogilvie
declared. "Treatment of last
year's stricken requires record
funds in 1949. That's why we
here in Wilkes must give 50 per
cent more to the-194$ March of
Dimes."
32 Breeding Co-Ops
Formed In Post Year
Thirty-two cooperative associ
ations for artificial breeding of
dairy cattle were formed In North
Carolina during 1948, bringing
the total number of associations
in the State to 35, according to
John F. Brown, dairy specialist
for the State College Extension
Service.
Prior to 1947, there was only
one association in the State, ope;
rating in Forsyth county. Yadkin
and Davie Counties formed asso
ciations which began operation
in the fall 0* 1947.
Mr. Brown said the 35 associ
ations now in operation cover
more than 40 counties and have
a membership in excess of 5,000
farmers. North Carolina, he add
ed, now ranks right up among
the large dairy states in the total
number of associations in ope
ration.
The last two counties to or
ganize under tbe program were
Wake and Wayne, which formed
associations late In the year.
Chatham and Wilson. are among
the counties now considering the
artificial breeding program.
