New York: Volunteers in the 1954 March of Dimes are reporting a record response according to reports received by Charles H. Bynum, director of Interracial Activities of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Mr. Bynum left National Foundation headquarters in New York City, Sunday.
His first stops will be Jersey City and Baltimore.
He now is visiting with March of Dimes leaders and workers in New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Illinois and Wisconsin.
"Polio Prevention, the fourth front in the fight against polio, inspires increased campaign work," Bynum said. "Throughout January more organized groups and more individuals are taking an active part in the effort to conquer the Crippler than in any previous campaign. Eventual victory over a major disease, polio, looms on the horizon, and polio volunteers are spurred by the bright hope of victory."
The 1954 March of Dimes closes Jan. 31 after the history-making Mothers' March on Polio during the last week of the campaign for funds to beat polio.
