E. S. Stewart
J .
Mr. E. S. Stewart, prominent Abi-
lene business and civic leader, has
been appointed Texas State Chair-
man of the 1949 March of Dimes,
Basil O'Connor, president of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, announced today.
The March of Dimes, conducted
nationally each January, is the sole
support of the National Foundation
and its 2.800 local county chapters.
Funds contributed to the annual
drive pay costs of medical care and
treatment for polio victims and
finance the scientific research and
professional education programs
sponsored by the National Founda-
tion. The 1949 appeal will be held
January 14-31.
Mr. Stewart, born in Waco,
Texas, has been long active In com-
munity fund raising and welfare
work. A west Texas food broker for
17 years, he is now owner of the
Abilene Candy Manufacturing Com-
pany. During the first World War
he served overseas with the U. S.
Army Engineers. Mr. Stewart is
past president of the Abilene Cham-
ber of Commerce and the Rotary
Club and in 1943 and 1944 was di-
rector of the American Red Cross
War Fund in Taylor County.
Mr. O’Connor, in announcing Mr.
Stewart’s acceptance of the March
of Dimes chairmanship, revealed
that when complete incidence fig-
ures for this year are tabulated the
toil of infantile paralysis in the
United States from 1943 through
1948 may well exceed 100.00U cases.
"While the final answer to the
mystery of poliomyelitis—the dis-
covery of a cure and a preventive
for the disease—lies in the research
laboratory," Mr. O'Connor said, "the
•onerous support of the American
people is now more vital than ever
before If victims of polio, children
and adults alike, are to receive the
care they must have to achieve
maximum recovery."
