In the meantime, the thousand of persons who have contracted polio must be cared for must be treated and treated before they are eventually restored to useful, active, pain-fre- e lives.

THURSDAY, OFFERS PLAYWRIGHT PRIZES M I A 9 jbiuuta, Bid 9 JtcateX NEWS 7 ' Dear Mr. Williams: As a weekly newspaperman, you have an editorial sensitivity to ' rising polio incidence. No one need alert you to the news value of polio if or when the disease strikes near your own community. But often the news behind the headlines is overlooked. This is the story of services supplied to individuals and all communities by local chapters of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. These are the core of every polio story published in your newspaper. Today they are jeopardized by lack of funds, brought about by the heavy cost of patient care and the new, promising polio prevention program. We earnestly seek your editorial help In telling the Chapter service story behind the news. AH National Foundation patient care and polio prevention programs are threatened unless the public understands and fully supports the Emergency March of Dimes this month. The immediate need is for 20 million dollars. This is the sum required to pay the high costs of continuing care for 67,000 patients stricken in earlier years and unknown numbers of victims of current record outbeaks. Simultaneously we must meet the cost of increasing the nation's supply of gamma globulin and financing the polio vaccine t study. Foundation proNational grams are at the point of no return. There can be no retreat except at unthinking human sacrifice or postponement of polio prevention. Although the March of Dimes last January was the most successful in polio h'story, It fell far short of the tightly budgeted needs for 1854. That is why we must now make an emert gency, appeal to the pubal.-ou- lic. In the past, the editorial support of the weekly press has helped bring us this close to conquest of polio. I am sure we can count on you now. BASIN O'CONNOR President, National Foundation.
