Show 1953 March of Dimes Appeal Set for Month of January The 1953 March of Dimes will be conducted nationally from Jan. 2 to 31. This is the second year that a full-moth campaign has been made necessary by the seriously mounting financial responsibilities responsibili-ties of the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis. The increased need for money results not only from the record number of families needing assistance as-sistance in the wake of 1952's woist epidemic in history, but aiso from the growing number of patients stricken in previous years who continue to need March of Dimes help. It is estimated esti-mated that 58,000 of these "carry-over" patients are still on the1 rolls this January. |
