Polio Fund Still Rising The President's Birthday Ball held last Friday eve ning in the USO Building at Morehead City was a com plete success both socially and financially in spite of all the various restrictions, the most serious being the ban on pleasure driving. The Ball was sponsored by the Carteret County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Half of the proceeds go to the National organization; the other half will be kept for lo cal needs. The 244th C.A. Band came over from Ft. Macon to make music. Mrs. W. I. Loftin, of Beaufort, and Mrs. Walter Freeman, of More head City, were hostesses. A feature of the evening was the March of Dimes contest sug gested by Mr. Stanley Woodland, Chairman of the Ball, and carried out very cleverly by Miss Georgia Neal who worked out the displays and arranged the tables. A con tainer for each of the 48 states and the District of Columbia was placed on a long table in the lob by of the building. Before the evening had progressed very far, containers of all but 6 states held contributions. When the empty containers were announced, loyal sons and daughters saw that the situation was remedied. North Carolina held the lead throughout the evening although several of the large northern states pushed the Tar Heel record close. The Total amount contributed in the contest came to something over S80. This with the ticket sale of $132 and private contributions of $55 gave a total of something over 267. This is below the quota of $405 set for this year but with contributions from numerous at tractive, "wishing wells" distribut ed throughout the bounty and a movie campaign set' for later in the month, it is hoped that funds will reach this goal. 1 ALBERT ROYAL SKARREN, Sea man, First Class, son of Mrs. Nina Skarren, of 109 Broad street, is one of the survivors of the Hor net.
