Until 1938 when the National Foundation was formed, a physician and a nurse usually comprised the best avail able care. Today, modern polio treatment may include 13 specialized services, provided by an entire TEAM of professional workers. This expanded care has cost National Foundation Chapters millions in March of Dimes funds. More money is needed immediately to con tinue these services. Support the POLIO EPIDEMIC EMERGENCY DRIVE to help care for today’s polio patients. Send your contribu tion now to POLIO, care of your local Post Office. Current Polio Emergency Drjve Termed Vital To Future Of Medical Care Plan Chapel Hill—“The degree of success of this campaign will de termine ‘ the extent to which we can go ahead with medical care and treatment”. That is how Phillip S. Randolph of the Chapel Hill office of the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis described the Polio Epidemic Emergency Drive, now being carried on in Orange County and' throughout North Carolina and other states in an effort to replenish the Polio Foundation’s treasury. The funds to fight polio have become badly depleted due to a record number of polio cases this summer. Foundation officials es timated before the drive * that funds on hand at that time would las* only 10 days. “This is one of the most critical spots in the Foundation’s history,” Randolph t said. North Carolina has received $3,132,148 from the National Foundation since the 1944 crisis, while contributing $1,712,574. Since January 1 of this year this state has received a total of $903, 000, Randolph states that for the months of August and September, $60,000 will be spent in North Carolina caring for polio victims. - This money will go for such things as h o s p i t a 1 i z*a t,i o n, braces crutches, wheel chairs, and-special aid. ~ An official of the local Health Office stated that all funds in Orange County have been ex hausted and that any money spent from now On will have to ceme from national headquarters. Any citizen wishing to contrib ute to the Emergency Drive should address his donation to POLIO in care of his local post master: A Hillsboro resident, f<y example, would mail his con tribution to “POLIO IN Care of Postmaster, Hillsboro”. A national goal of $14,500,000 has been set to provide aid for an expected total of ^0,000 cases of polio. Although the nation as a wl^ole is suffering from its worst epidemic, North Carolina has had a sharp decline from the 1948 total of 896 cases. The latest re port, which is dated September 3, shows that in 1949 North Caro lina has had 159 cases, Governor W. Kerr Scott has appealed to North Carolinians to give generous support , to the Emergency Drive. Scott stated, “The National Foundation has helped North Carolina when in ueed. I now appeal to our citizens to help the Foundation.” Beat Control DfficeCloses , Chapel Hill—After today rent controls in Chapel Hill wil be ad ministered by the Durham Area Office, according to information received here from —Regional Housing Expeditor Kenneth A.
