Show AtWorkOnPIans ForBirthday Ball Dr. R. R. Shannon, as a representative repre-sentative of the medical profession, profes-sion, has been named as chairman of a committee to arrange for Milford's Birthday Ball for the President, one of thousands of similar events to be staged the night of Wednesday, January 30, in as many communities, large and small, throughout the United States. To help him in putting the affair over successfully, Dr. Shannon Shan-non expects to invoke the assistance assist-ance of various organizations of the community with further de-I de-I tails to be announced later. Unlike the national Birthday Ball for the President last year, proceeds from the 1935 affair will not go to the Warm Springs Foundation. Foun-dation. Seventy cents of every dollar will be used by the community com-munity raising the money for rehabilitating re-habilitating local infantile paralysis paral-ysis victims. The remaining thirty percent will be given to President Roosevelt, who will turn it over to the President's Birthday Ball Commission for Infantile Paralysis Paral-ysis Research, under the chairmanship chair-manship of Col. Henry L. Doherty. With more communities organized organiz-ed on January 8th this year than the grand total organized at the end of the campaign last year, and with each community which held a party in. 1934 working to out-do itself in 1935, everything points toward an event unrivalled in the history of the nation. Gala affairs the country over will reach a climax between 11:30 and 12:30 that night (E.S.T.) with natiqn-wide radio address by the president himself. |
