POLIOMYELITIS HIT HARDEST IN
STATE LAST YAER SINCE 1934
Because poliomyelitis hit hard in Washington last'year
hardest since 1934--Dr. Arthur L. Ringle, State Director
of Health, yesteeday urged all Washingtonians to giye
generously in the Annual March of Dimes campaign.
"A total of 518 cases of polio were reported last year,
from 31 of the State's 39 counties," Dr. Ringle said. "The
National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis gave valuable
aid, directly or indirectly, to every one of these patients.
The Foundation certainly deserves all support that Wash-
Ingtontans can give."
Dr. Ringle explained that the Foundation fights polio
in three ways: first, by providing funds for the training
of doctors and nurses in treatment techniques; second, by
Paying the doctor and hospital bills of all polio victims
who quire financial aid; and third, by sponsoring re.
aadrCth Into the most promising methods of prevention
nerapy.
Generally, about half the polio patients recover com-
pletely, one quarter Suffer slight deformities, and 20 per
vent have permanent crippling effects. In Washington last
year, about 5 per cent of polio, victims died, with a total
toll of 27 deaths. , ,
Fifty pr cent of fun(is raised in March of Dimes re-
main in Washington. After this moneywas expended in
1946, the National Foundation sent an additional $58,000
from its epidemic aid fund to help Washington polio pa.
tients.

COMMUNITY ASKED TO DOUBLE
DIMES CONTRIBUTIONS IN 1947
An appeal to the community to double contributions to
the 1947 March of Dlmes--lnnuai fund-raising drive of the
National Foundation for Infantile Paralysim--so the $24,-
000,000 national goal will be met, was made today by chair-
man T. E. Deer of the local campaign committee here.
Chairman Deer pledged the Ioo'al committee to re-
double efforts following ressipt of a letter from Basil
O'Connor, president of the National Foundation, stressing
the crucial importance of'the 1947 March of Dimes. The
need to replenish funds drained in fighting last summer's
epidemic which affected more than 25,000 persons and was
the worst in-the Foundation's history is more. urgent than
ever before, according to Mr. O'Connor.
To assure continuing care of patients and build up ade-
quate chapter reserves for future epidemics, 12,000,000 is
needed, Mr. O'Connor said. The other half of the $24,000,-
000 minimum is required on the national level as follows:
Epidemic aid reserve fund ........ $5,000,000
Research and education ............ $5,000,000
General Working Fund ............ $2,000,000
"During the 1946 epidemic, "Mr. Deer said, "the $4,000,
000 epidemic reserve fund of the National Foundation, pro.
viously considered adequate, was wiped out completely by
November in aiding Chapters. By the end of tle year ap-
proximately an additional $1,500 earmarked for rch
had to be diverted for emergency aid to fulfill the= pledge
that "no one stricken by polio need go without care for
lack of funds.'
Pointing out that this community .as every Other in the
nation mUst be adequately prepared fop any emergency the
future .my;blng, M;,.,,., .,,',,. O:,d,d. ...... ,i ...... : ...... ., . ,'.?L
"Let us double,SUP cb,trlbutio01( now so we can be
prepared. We cannot/ gamble with the safety of our chil-
dren. By gi/tng generously now we will avoid future self-
reproach that we gave too little and too late when next
summer's epidemics Irtrike."
Annual Campaign to Help Those Afflicted
with Infantile Paralysis Now Started in County
Each year thousands of young Americans who started in life perfectly normal--are crippled by
the dread disease infantile paralysis. It takes long months, sometimes years, for them to suffic-
iently win in battling this disease, so that they have the use of their limbs. One great institution
in our land is dedicated to helping infantile paralysis sufferers. It is the Warm Springs Foun-
dation in Georgia, which needs your help to carry on its great work. If someone you love should
ever be stricken by this consuming disease--then only could you truly know how vital it is that
each of us enlist in the March of Dimes!
Next summer America must be prepared to meet Whatever epidemic emergencies may arise.
Let's raise enough money in Mason County so that we can be prepared to take care of any such
dreadful contingency we may be called upon to bear.
Your dimes and dollars, supporting the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, makes it
possible to render expert care and treatment to all victims of poliomyelitis, regardless of age,
race, color, or creed.
