CAMPAIGN PLANS
BEING MADE
Everette Saunders, County
Campaign Director for the 1951
March of Dimes of Bastrop Coun-
ty. has just attended the Central
1 ex us District Pre-Campaign
Meeting held in Austin. Ed. S.
Stewart >f Abilene, Texas, State
Chairman for the 1981 March of
Dimes, was the principal speaker,
and Ralph E. Frede, State Repre-
sentative for Central Texa.- which
takes in several counties also
made a talk on the needs and
pians of the 1951 drive.
There is a very important point
that should he brought before
the people and emphasized, Saun-
ders said, and that is during the
la>t •'! years, Texas has been the
hardest hit with POLIO of al!
the States. That Texas ha.- had
so many cases of Polio, that it
has received from National Foun-
dation Headquarters, more funds
than it had sent in to National
Headquarters. Due to the fact
that Polio has been so severe in
Texas, and that so much money
has been spent for patient care
and expenses, that none of the
funds raised in this State has
gone for RESEARCH. The money
that ha.- been spent for research
in the past M years, has come
from other States that have been
more fortunate and had less Polio
cases
Therefore, due to the fact that
Texas has had ;S years of Polio
epidemic, and an enormous amount
