A Farflung Humanitarian Endeavor

The effective service the National Foundation, now the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, rendered in the area of financing research for the conquering of this dreaded malady alone would justify its claim in this heroic drive, the "March of Dimes" which begins its month's inning in its annual appeal.

Georgia is rightly the headquarters of this institution, located at Warm Springs, Georgia, where the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt regained his strength to go on to the governorship of New York and then to serve more terms in the office of President of the United States than any other individual.

Naturally this appeal would have all out support in this section.

Had it not been for such efforts, the Salk Vaccine probably would have been years coming to flower. Thousands would have contracted and suffered from the polio disease.

While fully realizing that this cause does not need selling, it is but timely to state that in addition to its work in the field of polio research, there are included the treatment of such diseases as arthritis, birth defects, and the disorders stemming from the central nervous system.

So, it is seen that the drive is taking on a new lease: it will have even a stronger appeal than ever before and it is certain that this year's "March of Dimes" will round out a bounteous harvest.

To begin the new year right, would be to hop in on this "March of Dimes" and help put our first such effort over the top - on schedule time.

Now, march with the "March of Dimes."
