Show Guardsmen Take Over Mothers' Duties In Behalf of Polio j Tuesday night. Mar. 4, the Headquarters Battery. 213th Field Artillery Battalion will march for the March of Dimes. According to Mrs. Al Jenson. ! chairman of the "Mothers'! March," the recent drive to col- led funds in Cedar City failed I to come anywhere near the ex-J pected goal because a "Mothers' i March" could not be organized. In previous years as high aj $5,000 has been collected in Cedar Ce-dar City to combat polio and its dreaded after effects. This yearj the drive netted only $1,500. To collect more needed funds Mrs. Jensen turned to the Cedar City National Guard and its com. I trunding officer, First Lt. Rulan Woodbury. As Lt. Woodbury I said, "the Guard was organized to aid the people and that this r.i;! !: r.si ccrfiTd ninn invaders alone. Just as an army would not leave Its wounded on a battlefield, so too we should care for the unfortunate victims j i of polio." I Each man in the battalion will j ue ir,s!K''-u spr-cific circs n Cedar City and commencing at 6:30 Tuesday evening they will contact every home In Cedar City. It Is estimated that the entire en-tire drive will take from half an hour to an hour. Each Guardsman Guards-man will be wearing a card saying: say-ing: "Tonight I'm a Mother." Mrs Jensen and the guard sincerely request that on Tuesday evening when a National Guardsman knocks on your door you will give what you can. |
