Against Polio In the last eleven years the American people have contributed $29,562,742.54 to conquer infantile paralysis. Basil O'Connor, President of The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, announcod today at the opening of i the annual meeting of the Medical Advisory Committees of the i National Foundation at the Wal| dorf-Astoria Hotel. At that meeting applications for grants to carry on medical research will he considered and fui ther plans for ! carrying on the fight against infanti'e paralysis will be made. This money was raised through the celebration of President Roosevelt's Birthday and the r- ! March of Dimes, held in January e of each year, starting in 1924. n Sixteen million dollars, or more e than half of the total given, was ( j raised in the two years of 1943 and 1944, Mr. O'Connor said. "The increase in donations in J1943 and 1944, which probably j was due in part to the high incidence of the disease, assured I the National Foundation that the public wished it to intensify its activities and to widen its entire field of operations," he added. 1 "It's almost like waking up one n morning and finding that many of your dreams have come true. This generosity of the American ;r people permits us to proceed with is an assurance we merely hoped le for a few years ago. We are now able hoth to intensifv our scienti fic search for the cure and preis vention of the disease, and at the >s same time to enlarge our field in army fighting infantile paralysis. ? "Some idea of the scope and exIjJ tent of the National Foundation's program of scientific research is ' shown by the fact that, since it was organized only six years ago, ly it has made 298 grants to 74 in? stitutions involving 114 groups of in workers, in one of the greatest a scientific attacks against any dis)r ease." ,u During the past eleven years alis most $15,000,000 of the total raised has been left with the counties where raised to provide the best le in medical care for the thousands e' of new patients reported each s' year. This averages about $444 per county per year and $160 for each new case of infantile paralysis reported during that 'e period, Mr. O'Connor said, it Of the remainder of this nearly i- 30 million dollars, the National :r Foundation received approximateis ly 13 million dollars to conduct its programs of scientific re?P17 iL.1V 1939, Aunt Lillie, an 50.00 to a firm from on this bank, ie's house burned, deer receiving this payreclosure on her propo the Bank, not even the fact that she had and five days later we :ture of the destroyed court. photographing checks, rd of every check that It's Convenient r*W^Bfifi899DI ~ t THEJ5TATE PORT PILOT pie Have Give liars In Fight In 11 Years search, education and epidemic relief.

From the first four Celebrations of the President's Birthday, 1 which occured prior to the establishment of the National Foundation, came a total of $3 364,217. Of this sum, $1,655,825 remained in the counties where raised to; provide medical care for those afflicted with this disease; $1,467,392 went to the Georgia Warm Springs Foundations, for which the Birthday Celebrations were j originally conceived, and $151,000 was given to a commission to be used for scientific research. Estimating that the National Foundation and its Chapters have expended more than $1,000,000 up to September 1 on the 1944 epidernic alone, Mr. O'Connor declared: "What the full cost of this epidemic will be we do not know, but certainly, in addition to what it totals this year, there will be the necessity cf caring for many of! its victims in years to come, mean 1 while rnntirmmp' the rnre fnr those of former years."

Cleveland Rivenbark in charge, brought up an airplane target in its net Mon- j day. In addition to having plenty of holes made by bullets, the target had evidently had its towing ca-1 ble shot off. This accounted for i SOUTHPORT, N. C. Department 0 Now Inspectin * RALEIGH, Sept. 14. ? D. S. Coltrane, assistant to the Commissioner of Agriculture, announced that seven inspectors are now combing the State in a vigorous effort on the part of the State Department of Agriculture to put a halt to the sale of misbranded adulterated, and unlicensed insecticides and fungicides in North Carolina. Coltrane said that large quan-; tities of an "insecticides"a have been sold in this State within the past few weeks without the approval of the Department. | Known throughout the country as "Twin Light P. Y. Dust" and' manufactured by the Seacoast Laboratories, in New York, this product, according to Mr. Coltrane, has been dumped on the markets of this State without registration, tags from several lots containing neither the net weight of the package nor the active ingredients guarantees. "Intomologists reported that Twin Light P. Y. Dust was ineffective when used to control the bean beetle in the Hendersonville section, for instance, where growers spent hundreds of dollars in an attempt to save their beans from the beetle," declared Coltrane. Two tons of this "insecticide" were found in Franklin; five tons in Hendersonville; and smaller amounts in the West Jefferson area. After the company had been notified of its flagrant violations of the provisions of the North Carolina Insecticide and Fungicide Act, it made application to register the product, listing only insert ingredients in men guarantee, said Coltrane, adding that subsequently the State Depa; tment of Agriculture "promptly refused to license such a product for use by truck crop prodthe net of the shrimper being able to find it and pick it up from the bottof of the ocean.

Coltrane revealed that inspectors with the Department have forwarded the names and ad-1 dresses of 35 manufacturers who' have exposed for rale products which were not properly registered. Afier consultation with entomologists, the Department accepted some for registration, declining many, however, for various reasons. The North Carc!:na Insecticide j and Fungicide Act provides that before any manufacturer shall sell or offer for sale in this State any agricultural or horticultural insecticide or fungicide, it must first be registered with the Commissioner of Agriculture. The law, explaian noltrCed pectoraE ETE exp'ained Coltrane, also provides tnat the product carry a label or tag showing "the net weight of the package, the name or trademark the minimum of each toxic chemical or compound present, and the specific name of each active ingredient used in its manufacture."
