Fifty percent of the money will be returned to the local chapter of the organization for use in patient treatment, the rest is kept at national headquarters to . provide an epidemic fund and to finance extensive scientific re- search to find a cure and treatment of the disease. Funds are also used in seeking an immunizing agent against polio, and to train doctors and nurses for treating victims. "But thanks to the wonderful medical treatment provided by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis he's going to be completely cured some day."

"I didn't like it in the hospital", he said. "I couldn't run and play like other boys. All I could do was read funny books." "It makes you think," said Burton, "that giving generously to the March of Dimes will probably save other kids from having to live in a limited 'Funny-Boo- k world." 5 BILLIARDS LUNCH COUNTER All the Latest Magazines TOBACCO Open 'Til 12 P.
