Dimes and dollars being con-
tributed to the March of DuSas
will underwrite essential programs
of scientific research, profestonal
education and emergency epidemic
aid, in addition to providing assis-
tance for individual polio patients
who need it. . i
Half the funds remain with the
loeal chapter of tie National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
This money is used to pay for that
part of patient care which fami-
lies cannot afford and, in emergen-
j cies, to supplement the national
epidemi^jiiil fund ftjr patient care
whereve^^ded.
This assistance is offered to -fall
persons in need, regardless of age,
race, creed or color.
The other half is sent to Nation- |
al Headquarters. It used to
maintain the most extensive re-
search program ever levelled by a
voluntary agency at a single dis-
ease, to underwrite the education
of highly-skilled and much-need-
ed professional personnel, and to
provide epidemic aid to chapters
in time of emergency. Epidemic
aid is available to any of the Na-
tional Foundation's 2,822 chapters
when their loeal treasuries are wip- |
ed out during epidemics. By the I
end of October last year the Na-
tional Foundation had sent more
than $7/)00,00(> to local chapters,
with many millions more requested
that will be sent after the 1951
March of Dimes.
