Show THE HILL Page 2 Friday, January 7t TOP TIMES 19 Heads Up, Jimmy EDITORIAL Chairman Tells How Funds Work , Is our community prepared to meet an infantile paralysis epidemic effectively? Or will the victims of this dread disease suffer unnecessarily and lose precious recovery possibilities through lack of adequate hospital facilities and trained care? The Hill Top Times has asked Mr. Reid Moore, chairman of the 1949 March of Dimes campaign at Hill AFB for information on these questions which affect all our readers, since polio strikes without regard to geographic location, race or color. Mr. Moore gave a reassuring reply. He declared that a preparedness program is an integral part of the work of the National Foundation and includes fighting units for Infantile Paralysis. It is many-side- d such as epidemic aid teams and pools of equipment for speedy transmission to any stricken area, "The equipment pools," Mr. Moore said, "stand ready at six centrally located points, fully outfitted with iron lungs, hot pack machines and special devices necessary in hospital treatment in stricken areas. The epidemic aid teams are located at four points and comprise trained personnel for polio care." Another side of the preparedness program is educational, Mr. Moore said. Thus the National Foundation has distributed educational pamphlets to parents through the cooperation of the nation's schools. , They list precautionary measures for those in epidemic areas who are not stricken as well as advice on what to do if polio invade3 the home. Mr, Moore stressed that these services are financed through part of the funds raised during the March of Dimes. "The 1944 infantile paralysis epidemic in North Carolina and the presubsequent outbreak there last year showed the great need for a were paredness program," Mr. Moore stated. "North Carolina chapters caught unprepared by the "mysterious and murderous polio outbreak of 1944. They fought back with all their own means and with the full support of national headquarters. They fought with volunteers. They d witnessed the "Miracle of History," where a hospital and staff was put in operation within the space of 90 days. "But North Carolina afso learned that it no longer could depend on miracles," chairman Moore said. "A series of conferences resulted in a preparedness plan which made available a chain of hospital treatment centers spaced within reasonable driving distance "from the home of possible patients. The plan was put to the test last year when polio the 1944 force. Last year all patients were hit the state with three-fol- d , centers." at these hospitalized of The importance preparedness was brought home to local chapters last year, Mr. Moore stated. "Last spring, the National Foundation-- ' sponsored a series of 800 poliomyelitis conferences throughout the country to coordinate the long-ranfight against polio," Mr. Moore said. "They were real 'grass-root- s' gatherings. A leading agenda topic was the determination of primary centers and designation of secondary hospitals to be used in case of emergency." Such preparations can do much to reduce the impact of the disease once it strikes. They will minimize the pains and crippling effects of polio. However, the work is all done solely through the March of Dimes. "The present drive through January 31 must be our most successful to date," Mr. Moore declared, "for the protection of the individual home, the community, the state and the nation." by and fnr tv, rh ir;ii Tnn Times is nublished of Hill Airn11Force Base under the of the Pub?,1 supervision civilian . . personnel mmi rv TU. nn f Trill m .AiMtniin Mi xup iimes Pukii information wince, huuicm ,wvw.wwh Hill Air Force Base Information Office, Hq., Ogden Air Materiel243 Area, or 260.

It's interesting work, and PIO personnel enjoy their work to the extent where they wouldn't trade jobs with anyone else on the field. The most interesting phase of their work comes from putting into story form little tales about the average worker at the Hill, little human interest stories that interest everyone. But try as they will, PIO workers can't get around to everyone and ask them for interesting incidents in their lives. It's sad but true. And that's where each Hillfielder comes into being an employee of the office . . . where each Hillfielder can help make the HTT a more interesting paper to read. Stories about skiing trips, sleigh-ridin- g parties, basketball players and their outstanding games, parties of any sort, outstanding achieve ments of people on the field are all desired by the PIO. Snapshots and activities pictures of fishing catches, hunting bags, and other can also be used. So get on the ball, you Hillfielders, and start the news items and pictures flowing into the Public Information Office, room 122, OAMA Headquarters building, or telephone extension 243 or 260 and leave the information. It doesn't have to be in complete story form" just an idea will start the PIO writers to work on it to develop it into a complete story. off-du- ty Ugh Sale ce Jimmy Biesele of Brooklyn, N.
