Show March Of Dimes Helps Reduce Polio Death Rate The 1952 March of Dimes must supply the National Foundation Foun-dation for Infantile Paralysis with funds to carry on the fight against polio in the professional training classroom as well as in the hospital ward and research re-search laboratory. There have been more cases in the last four years than in the previous ten years combined, and the National Foundation has been forced into debt by surging surg-ing polio' incidence. The frightening frighten-ing new polio pattern has breathed new urgency into the National Foundation's professional profes-sional training program. Patient care and research require highly trained personnel, and much has to be allocated for professional education. Your generous contributions in the iron lung boxes placed in the business houses will aid in carrying on the expensive research re-search program for the dread disease, di-sease, as well as assisting in the expensive treatment of patients. Mrs. A n t h o n Christensen, Roosevelt city chairman, announced an-nounced that the civic clubs had now each selected a mother to be sponsored by the club to vie for the honor of Roosevelt's "polio queen," who will be crowned by the Mayor at the climax of the Porchlight Parade on January 31. She will be selected se-lected by the highest polio donations dona-tions credited to her name during dur-ing the Porchlight Parade from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The following mothers will be sponsored by the respective clubs: Mrs. Harold Timothy, Junior Culture; Mrs. Eldon Wright, Socialette; Mrs. Thomas R.
