Show A MEANS TO AN END In our day-to-day fight against illness we seek to cure. But an even greater victory is to be won on the day when medical science can actually prevent disease. Every January that day of ultimate victory is brought closer as The National Foundation calls upon us to "Prevent "Pre-vent Crippling Diseases" by giving to the New March of Dimes. . As a banner for The National Foundation, "Prevent Crippling Diseases," must not be regarded as an empty slogan or vague promise. Who can ever forget that through this, tbe world's largest voluntary health organization, we have found the means of preventing palalytic polio with the Salk vaccine.? Who can doubt that with the support of the public this same organization will guide the way to a preventive for crippling birth defects andarthritis? But the support of the public is vital, because The National Na-tional Foundation derives all its funds and all its volunteer wprkers from a direct appeal to the American people. Therefore, all of us help prevent crippling diseases when we say YES to the New March of Dimes.- |
