This year has been the third worst polio year for North Carolina in the State's history, Mrs. Phillips Russell, Di rector of Organization for the March of Dimes, said here today in announcing a series of pre March of Dimes meetings throughout the State. "I don't believe it Is realised by the general public," she said "that through November of this year North Carolina had 717 new cases of polio, and that the Vr rible epidemic year of 1944 (^li racle of Hickory) had only 861 for the entire year. The next worst epidemic came in 1948." The 717 cases for this year are listed with the State Health De partment. The pre -March of Dimes meet ings scheduled for next week are: Cherokee at noon Monday, De cemher 4; Asheville that night; Lenoir at noon Tuesday, Decem ber 5; Charlotte that night; Sou thern Pines at noon Wednesday, December 6; Greensboro that night; Durham at noon Thursday December 7; Clinton that night; and Greenville at noon, Friday, December 8, and Elizabeth City that night. Attending these meetings will be representatives from the county chapters and the sur rounding territory. Campaign or ganization and plans for the 1951, March of Dimes will be mapped. Mrs. Russell said that "to meet the onslaught of infantile paralysis our county chapters have once again had to call on the National Foundation in New York for help. This year more than $200,000 has been advanced, but despite this the chapters have not been able to meet all their medical and hospital bills. We are waiting now for funds from the 1951 March of Dimes to meet these bills," she said. "We. all must broaden our ho rizon in the all -out tight against polio," Mrs. Russell declared. "We j mUst look beyond the borders of our own individual counties, be yond the borders of North Caro lina, and look u^>on it as a nat tion-wide effort. In our need the people of other states have come in and helped us. Every dollar, every dime we've spent over and above the 100 percent we've rais ed in years past In the annual] March of Dimes has been con-i tributed by people in other states. "North Carolina, in spit of the I excellent fund-raising cam- j paigrus since 15)45, continues to operate at 3 deficit. We are op erating now at a deficit of a mil lion and a quarter dollars-' The one hopeto win out against polio, Mrs. Russell, said, "lies in the field of research Millions of the people's money ha.s gone into this research, work, but - so far North Carolina ha.s not -been able to contribute one dime to this ail important effort."
