Report Given Or Polio Spread Thru The Ration Polio, sweeping 32 states in the devastating epidemic of 1949 is leaving in its receding wake a medical problem which will tax the resources of the National Foundation for months to come, Sam Ogilvie, Wilkes chapter chairman, declared today. Returning from a regional emergency "war council'' of March of Dimes directors recent ly held in Charlotte Mr. Ogilvie gave this summary of the situ ation: Polio cases will exceed 40,000 making 1949 the blackest year in the history of the disease. More than 31,000 cases already have been reported. Peak was the week ending Aug. 20 with 3,422 cases, the week ending Sept. 17 there were 2,612 and Sept. 24?2,192 cases.

They were more spread out and more general in character. The epidemic, however, did not find the National Foundation un i prepared Mr. Ogilvie said. In stead, thanks to the contribu tions of millions of people to the ; March of Dimes infantile pa ralysis is being fought from eve ;ry side and from every angle. 1 The conference Drought out the fact that even with the funds raised by the polio epidemic emergency campaign the fight . against infantile paralysis will , have to depend upon an all-out March of Dimes drive in January, Mr. Ogilvie said, adding: f "All through the epidemic of 1949 the chapters of the National I Foundation have been doing a ! grand job. As their treasuries became empty the Foundation i came quickly to their aid. No j rase coming to our organization for attention has been neglected, j "Instead of 300 hospitals for polio patients the epidemic re quired over a thousand. As of September 24 the National Foun dation shipped 583 respirators (iron lungs) to places where they were needed to save lives. For emergency duty there were recruited 137 physical therapists,! 2,255 nurses and in addition j consultants, epidemiologists, resi dent physicians and polio aid! teams. "The fight is not over. These thousands of victims must be re stored to health by all that medi cal science can provide. Yes, the epidemic has gone its wicked way But it is not over for those who were stricken. "Their struggle to recover will continue for months and months and through the March of Dimes drive in January we will not fail to provide the funds to help them and to eventually stamp out the mysterious crippling disease of infantile paralysis." 1 Driver Freed In Rood Death Elkin.?Samuel G.

Miss Lowry has been one of the lead ers in placing consideration of the plight of agricultural migrants on the agenda of the Home Missions Congress to be held in Columbus, Ohio, early in 1950. Disintegration of family life, growing illiteracy among the children, exploitation of labor, and exclusion from church and school facilities and from proper housing and health care are among the disabilities of the migrants to be considered by the Congress. Fourteen Trappistine nuns, trained in Ireland, are now in Wrentham, Mass., where there has been established Mount St. Mary's Abbey, a $300,000 convent, and the first of that order in the United States. The group is com posed of seven Irish nuns, six Americans, and one Canadian, un der the leadership of Mother Ber nard as Mother Prioress. They* come from St Mary's Abbey, Glencairn, Waterford, Ireland. The order is the famine counterpart of the famed Tappist moks of Eu rope and America. The nuns and monks have similar vows of se clusion, poverty, manual labor, prayer and silence. At (Wrentham they have a 500 acre estate and they will do all the work there themselves. Despite communist army con trol of Nankin# City, China, the noted Ginling Christian College for women there reports an eh rollment of over 200 students, general activities "as usual", and the establishment of a two-year course in nursery school educa tion. "The students have been faced by a real and difficult prob lem, says the president, Miss Wu Yi-fang. "On the one hand there is the appeal of the victorious liberating army and the call for additional workers in various lines. On the other hand, they are uncertain about future financial support from their families and about their own future work. Emotionally they have been under a severe strain in being cut off from their families." Dr. Wu adds that faculty-student committees now study together changes in curriculum, organization, and stu dent life. ^ Strange and Tragic Acts of Sleepwalkers.?There is virtually no end to the peculiar things somnambulists will do?includ ing robbery, suicide and murder.
