Thia is a good year for Yancey
fanners to consider planting trees
as a 1 conservation pfaeike, l aicord-*
ing to Fred L. Anglin, Office
Manager tbi the Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation County
(tommittee. . „ "
Anglin said figures' -furnished
by the State Forester indicate that
«ngood supply of seedlings will be
available for planting this year.
Nationally, the U. S. Forest Service
estimates there will be between
two and two and a half billion
trees' available for planting from
state, private and industrial nur
series. Almost all of these seed
lings will be produced in state
the Forest Service re
port* 4 'v
. Farmers who want cost-sharing
assistance in planting trees as a
conservation practice are urged to
make their requests as soon as
possible. The county ASC office
is accepting application now, Ang
lin said. He pointed out that under
the Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram (ACP) the federal govern
ment shares the cost of tree plant
ing for conservation. Costs are
shared between farmers and the
government on land preparation,
cost of planting stock, and the
actual planting cost,
f The Yhscey County Committee
will approve two acres for trees,
Over and above any farmer alloca
tion for ACP cost-sharing for 1961.
March is considered the best
month for planting trees in this
area. Farmers should get their ap
plications now, in order to get
their trees in time to plant this
Spring, Anglin said.

Heavy Outlays for Aid to Polio Victims
Ifr Cause Drain on March of Dimes Funds
“The National Founda- I
tion has the distinction and I
the honor of having eac- |
hausted its March of Dimes ?*
funds for patient aid,” Basil I
O’Connor, its president, an- \
nounced recently. |
“Therefore, the March of I
Dimes has a $45 million job to j
do in 1961,” he. added.
“But we always have had a i
tremendous job to do and have j
relied on the American people j
(or financial support through ]
.the March of Dimes oath Jan- J
uary,’’ he said. “At the same \
time, however,, w-i do not live j
just from year to ye4T but I
build broad research* educa- ,
tional and patient-aid programs j
'or much longer periods. Con- i
‘inuation of these programs -|
will require $45 million in
1961.”
Speaking of the “urgent !
monetary needs of the 1961
New March of Dimes,” to be
held Jan. 2-31, the leader of
the world’s largest voluntary
health organization explained
thac in 1960 about one-third of
Its 3,100 chapters had gone into
debt to meet hospital and other
bills for aid to polio patients.
"But our chapters are proud
That they have not built up
bank balances at the expense
of human lives,” he said.
Since 1938, when The Na-,
tional Foundation- (for Infatv
tile Paralysis) was organized 4,
a total of $325,200,000 has beei) -
spent for direct patient aid to
polio victims. In 1960, the bill
was about $13,250,000 for some
40,000 of the polio-stricken. Al
though the Salk vaccine has
been available to the public for
five years, patient-aid costs re
main high chiefly for those
stricken before the vaccine was
developed, or for those who
since 1956 neglected to get in
oculated and thus contracted
polio. *
March of Dimes monetary
assistance to individual polio
sufferers has sometimes been
extremely great. To cite two
instances only, patient-aid costs
•in the case of Mrs. Ingeborg
tCully, of New York City, thus
far nave totaled about $25,000
and the end is not in sight;
while expenditures for Tommy

_ Examples: $25,000 was spent on Ingeborg Cully . . .
Davey, six years old, of Boston,
have reached $50,000.
Aside from the enormous
financial toll in patient aid,
substantial New March of
Dimes contributions must also
be used for research. Since
1938 The National Foundation
has allocated $64,600,000 on its
broad-based international re
search program which has pro
-duced, among other outstand
ing achievements, the Salk and
Sabin polio vaccines and, in
cidentally, two Nobel prizes.
In 1960, research funds are
estimated $5,000,000 cover
ing The National Foundation’s
three health areas of birth de
fects, arthritis and polio.
More than twice that sum,
or $10,400,000, is needed for re
search in 1961.
March of Dimes contribu
tions have also made possible
the largest education program
for the training of medical and
health experts ever attempted
by a voluntary health agency.
Since 1939, where The National
Foundation launched its pro
gram of professional education,
outlays in this field have to
taled $34,900,000; in 1960, a
total of $1,500,000 in March of
wwi? I IgiWTCTr*
•*,. - I*, m
. . . while another $50,000
was needed for Tommy Davey.
Dimes public contributions was
required for the health organ
ization’s professional education
activities. In 1961, $3,900,000 i>
needed for this part of the pro- •
gram.
