Thiu*Ur, July 23. im f •. HEigLly Million AriUKiccms Gave ^ $51,500,00 To Fight / Against Polio million Americans contribute^ $51,500,000 to the ffcht •gainst infantile paralysis in the v3 ^iMarch of Dimes, it haa been announced by Basil O'Connor, president of the National foundation for Infantile Parilysis. This total, based on reports 3,069 volunteer campaign Chairmen, represents a new record, being 24 per cent higher than the previous record total Ittked in 1952, Mr. O'Connor *aid. Last year $#1,432,605 was contributed, or 27 Vs cents per capita tot the entire rthtion. The 1953 per capita is thirty-four cents. Both figures are tuised on the 1950 census. le new record shows that of parents and children ftffht against polio realize tne crucial stage of this battle has been reached." said Mr. O'Connor. "They know that recent progress in scientific research «• 4he continuing increase year after year of polio cases make their responsibilities greater than ever before." f Mr. O'Connor paid tribute to tH®« 2,000,000 March of Dimes volunteers who conducted the fund-raising crusade in 10;p00 communities throughout the nation. * "Without their unselfish efforts, the American people would not have been so acutely aVare o^ the increasing responsibilities of the National Foundation," he declared. "Obligations imposed by fHce years of heavy outbreaks of the disease plus increased expenditures for new developments in the field of research have made larger sums vitally necessary for the fight against infantile * paralysis. "Despite larger public contributions each year, the National Foundation has ended the last four years with outstanding bills, mainly to hospitals, of from three and one-half to seven million dollars. Thus, for this, period of time, each succeeding March of Dimes has been, . in effect, mortgaged for sucto an amount before any new cases were reported in the new year. "But each, year, thanks to our tireless volunteers and to an awakened public, the bills have been paid, research has gone forward unhampered by financial limitations, and every polio patient who needed help was given assistance for medical and hospital care." Mr. O'Connor added that -in 1953, as in the past, the course of the disease cannot be predicted. All chapters of the National Fbundation, however, are prepared to assist the unknown thousands who will need March of Dimes help this year, he said. The preliminary financial figures showed that all forty-eight states exceeded their 1952 contributions to * the anti-polio fight, with the state of Nevada showing the largest percentage of increase. Other large increases were reported from Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan* Nebraska ahd New Mexico. Top per capita figures were recorded by Nevada, which averaged 94 cents, while Wyoming, with 69 cents, and Idaho, with 65 cents, cariie next in order. Residents of New York State made the largest dollar contributions, totaling $5,088,000 for the state, while California w?th $4,426,000 and Ohio with «8,- 074,000 followed.

The vote in opposition to the increase was 117 in contrast to 105 who favored it. The board of education this time had asked for the increase to be from .41 to .61 cents on the 100 valuation. The board was nonplused by the result. The board had thought that the lower goal would be approved, but the majority was greater against it this time than last time. food can be no better than the package it is stored in. In selecting packaging materials, don't be penny wise and pound foolish. Those pennies you save by using makeshift carton?- such as commercial companies use for ice cream, milk and cottage cheese may cost you a loss of valuable flavor and quality in the frosen product. Unless tne 'ood is properly packaged, the low . temperature in the freezer and the fluctuation in temperature will rob the food of much of its natural1 juices and flavor. I A good freezer package should J be moisture-proof, vapor-proof, j leak-proof, easy to fill, easy to j seal, easy to handle and inex- j pensive, says Frances Cook.
