In Polio Expense
No New Cues In Wilkes But
Funds Neseccary To Aid
Old Patients
A check for $3,275.00 to help
pay for medical care of local polio
patients has been received by the
Wilkes County Chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, it was announced yesterday
by Sam R. Ogilvie, Chapter
Chairman. The funds were pro,
vided by national headquarters of
the March of Dimes organization.
* A heavy case-load from the 194 9
epidemic, worst in the nation's
history, in addition to the costs
of the year's polio incidence has
exhausted the chapter's 1950
March of Dimes funds, the chair
man declared.
Up to July 22nd, the National
Foundation has advanced $4,084,610.00
this year to chapters whose
funds have been depleted by both
new and carry-over cases, Mr.
Ogllvle stated.
So far this year in Wilkes
County there have been no cases
of Polio reported, but the Wilkes
County Chapter is at present providing
funds for the care, in whole
or in part, of two children who
were stricken last summer and are
still in the Greensboro Convalescent
Hospital. In addition, a number
of braces have been purchased
recently and many operations financed.
In commenting on the polio
situation, Mr. Ogilvie stated that
while Wilkes County has fortunately
escaped, there are epidemics
in many nearby sections and in the
U. S. as a whole it is one of the
worst years in history, although
the number of cases is less than
last year's all time high.
