March Of Dimes Drive Collections Lag As End Nears Incomplete Reports To tal About One-third of County's Goal With the 1953 March of Dimes cam paign scheduled to close on Saturday of this week, Perquimans County so licitors for this fund have reported only about half of the quota assigned the county, according to a report made Wednesday by Mrs. J. T. Big gers, chairman of the drive. The lag in collections for the fund, it is believed, is due to slowness on the part of solicitors to make reports to the fund treasurer, George Fields. No reports have been made for con tributions from communities outside the town of Hertford, from the Negro . division or frrm the schools. These reports, according to co-chairmen for the divisions, will be made on Sat urday, after the drive closes. Mr. Fields reported Wednesday morning that contributions report ed to date amounted to $685.27, which is about one third of the county goal. Solicitors who, ,as yst, have not completed the task of canvassing their territory, are urged to do this work immediately in order thait the drive may be closed on Ischedule, and to assist in making the campaign a successful one. In commenting 0n the progress of the 1953 campaign Mrs. Biggers said, "If this year's Mar?h of Dimes quota of $2,000 is to be fully subscribed the citizens of Perquimans County will have to respond in large numbers and in a generous way. The year 1952 was the worst polio year in history, and if treatment is to be provided these patients and research continued in an effort to stamp out this dread disease then every dime of the Per quimans quota is really needed." To individuals who have not been askfd to contribute to the March of Dimes an appeal is made for them to send or give their donations to either Mrs. Biggers of Mr. Fields.
