FROM SARA NEWTON’S
SCRATCH PAD
EACH YEAR DURING THE LAST OF JANUARY THE
citizens of the United States are asked to contribute to the
March of Dimes, a march against the perils of infantile
paralysis and a source of hope for those who have already
known the ravages of that disease. Sometime within the
next two weeks the local chapter of the Infantile Paralysis
fund will give you an opportunity to help in this fight, and
the school children of the county have volunteered their
service.
The moving picture theatres
will assist in this drive Jan
uary 25-31 and a short film is
sued to them in connection
with the March of Dimes is
entitled “The Miracle of Hick
ory” featuring Greer Garson.
As all we North Carolinians
and many others in the Unit
ed States know, the film will
be the story of the valiant and
miraculous treatment of infan
tile paralysis at the emergency
hospital founded in Hickory,
N. C., during the North Caro
lina epidemic last June.
The people of this section do not
need to see the story of the mir
acle of Hickory to make them anx
ious to contribute to the polio
fund, but it should be interesting
because of our familiarity with the
subject. We have already learned
from the epidemic last year that
lack of adequate funds to meet
such a situation as arose last year
can result in near panic. Hickory
rose to meet the emergency, and
numerous chapters in North Caro
lina contributed money for the
hospital’s support from their own
polio funds. Last summer Cleve
land county sent $1,421.75 to the
Hickory hospital.
The duty of the Infantile
****
Paralysis fund is not merely
to assist in handling epidemics
of polio. This organization is
always willing to help those
who are crippled by infantile
paralysis and need special at
tention or treatment. It works
closely with the county welfare
department and the vocation
al rehabilitation department
in locating worthy cases and
in arranging for the necessary
funds for treatment.
If you could only hear all of the
stories of the people in Cleveland
county who have been helped by
this fund. There was the child
in the hospital with infantile par
alysis several summers ago, before
there was a Hickory hospital. The
fund paid a specialist to come see
him and make sure that all that
was possible was being done for
him. There was the young wo
man who had been a hopeless
cripple for ten years. It was be
lieved that she could never walk
again. The Infantile Paralysis
fund joined other organizations in
paying for two operations, and she
is now able not only to walk, but
to do her own housekeeping. There
are the numerous splints and brac
es which have enabled little limbs
to grow straight little boys and
girls to walk again.
If you have contributed to
the March of Dimes each year,
this is the work which you

This year John Anthony, Dr.
Ben Kendall, and Mrs. John F.
Schenck will be In charge of the
campaign, and the school children
of the city will be active in the
march. The President’s Birthday
Balls have been discontinued dur
ing wartime, and the only appeal
made will be for your aid in the
March of Dimes.
When you are asked to contrib
ute don’t think, “What, more
money?” Recall that cold dread
that pressed upon you last sum
mer when you knew that YOUR
child might be sturck by polio.
Remember also that the
minimum cost for giving a
polio victim hospitalization at
Hickory is $12 a day, ard in
other places the costs run as
high as $30 a day. The new
hospital to be constructed at
Charlotte will handle these
cases with efficiency and at a
nominal cost based on the
Hickory plan.
Remember, too, that the costs
have not ceased simply be
cause the epidemic has dimin
ished. Approximately $12,000 a
day is still being spent by the
polio fund for the treatment
of cases of infantile paralysis.
Those who can give more than
one dime should give more. It
takes contributions of dollars to
pay the costs of the polio de
struction of human health.
Never forget the work that Is
being done by the fund all year.
There are no fanfares and trum
pets, no streamers in newspapers,
when the fund makes it possible
for a boy or girl to have the neces
sary braces, splints, or treatment,
but the fund is still at work. You
who are strong and healthy may
help others by the March of your
Dimes.
When you are asked this
year for your contribution,
when you are offered a chance
to help in this fight, remem
ber these things and let your
heart tell you how MANY
dimes to give.
