Gregg Cherry for all-out support of the current Infantile Paralysis Campaign, which closes January 81, has been received here. , "I am counting on every com munity in the State to do its share in raising adequate funds to. con tinue the fight against this dread disease," the Governor said. "It is an obligation which all men of good-will will be glad to recog nize. We must be prepared to meet the challenge of polio in the sum mer of 1947. We must have suffi cient foods en hand to insure our selves against another . epidemic sucAM waiamiustxperianced.' Governor -Cherry saldr that "it is quite evident that comparatively few families can hope to meet the financial obligations Involved (in treatment of infantile paralysis) without seriously jeopardizing their standard of living. And where that standard is already low, the situation becomes impossible. "When polio strikes, help must come immediately. There is no time for financial, bickering,Lno time to consider costs and obligations. There is time only for quick action. It Is at this point that the work of the National Foundation for Infant ile Paralysis and its. Chapters be comes of vital Importance." The Governor pointed out that several thousand North Carolin ians are now enlisted as workers in the current campaign. There were 153 new cases In North Carolina in this past year and the average cost of treating each patient was $1,200.00 the Gov ernor said. There were 25,000 new cases reported In the entire coun try during 1946. A high percentage of the cases still being treated in North Caro lina were stricken as far back as 1944 and a number of these are still being cared for In hospitals, he said. "North Carolina's quota this year is $368,000 and the plan is to raise a minimum of $450,000. Twenty-five percent of the coun ties in 1946, 1 am informed, had to seek additional funds . from the National Foundation in New York last year., "Last year's quota was $350,000 and $433,000 was raised. Half of this amount Is sent to National Headquarters for a national fund to aid epidemic areas and for re search purposes. North Carolina has received a third again as much from national headquarters as has been sent to the National Founda tion. "I urge the citizens of this state to join the March of Dimes - giv ing generously." CPA Approves Projects For Duplin & Lenoir Approval of construction pro jects for North Carolina have been approved by the Civilian Production Administration. .

Williams of South Carolina has congratulated the State of North Carolina for undertaking- an "outstanding cam paign for good health,". Harry B. Caldwell, executive secretary of the Good Health Association, revealed today. He acknowledged a letter from Governor Williams in which he as serted, "As Governor of the State a little bit south of North Carolina, am very proud of our neighbor ing State in its outstanding cam paign for good health. It is much cheaper to pay for health than to pay for sickness." North Carolina, in opening a vig orous attack on its health problem, is setting an example that other states should follow, the Governor said, v .."I sincerely hope , that South Carolina will adopt a health pro gram similar to North Carolina's, Gov. Williams' letter continued, 'and that some future governor of North Carolina will not be able to say to some future governor of South Carolina ...."It has been a long time and your state stillrdoes not have an adequate health pro gram.'"
