This announcement was made today by C. Clarence Neslen, state chairman of the committee for the celebration ot the Preside ts birth day to fight the disease. The com mlttea consists of more than 40 prominent leaders in various fields throughout the state. The funds obtained from some 200 the state celerations throughout this year will go toward establishment of a permanent national foundation for infantile paralysis. Many Tickets Sold In Salt Lake County already there have been many tickets sold at 25 cents each. The first of 20,000 printed for distribution in the county was bought by Governc- - Henry H. Blood. Two types of celebrations have been arranged for the county. On January 81 there will be a dance la the Coconut Grove ballroom and in addition there will be au athletic carnival, with wrestling on Friday, January 28, and boxing Monday, January 31, at McCulloughs arena.
