DALLAS COUNTY
WOMEN START MARCH
OF DIMES DRIVE
The Dallas County Women’s Ac-
tivities for obtaining funds for the
March of Dimes are underway. The
group will cooperate with the
mayors of the various towns in
raising that extra quota so needed
this year by the local chapter and
national organization, from whom
they borrowed money to use dur-
ing the past year which had its
worst epidemic of infantile para-
lysis in history.
Mrs. T. F. Larkin, chairman of
the County women said that “the
care for the patients and the type
of paralysis made it a constant ex-
pense and drain on your last
year's dimes. In fact, the chapter
is stiU paying for 83 convalescent
patients. In addition, we are ex-
tending medical treatment to 120
patients of former years. The total
cost to our chapter through Nov.
30 for hospitalization and nursing
care has been $29,344.60; the spe-
cial nurses' and physical therap-
ists’ salaries and expenses. $13,-
000; medical aid, X-rays and phy-
sical therapy treatment, $2,200;
braces, crutches, shoes, etc., $1,-
800. We started the year. Includ-
ing 1949 Dimes Fund, with ap-
proximately $32,000. Therefore, It
became necessary to raise the
September emergency fund. We
want this March of Dimes cam-
paign to increase so that will not
happen again.”
Mrs. Larkin said everyone in the
County should assist in this work.
Call your local chairman or the
March of Dimes Headquarters.
Room 838, Athletic Club, or phone
P7-8771. Any volunteer work or
contribution will be gladly re-
ceived. Local chairman Is Miss

exclusive development known as
Powerglide. A product of campany
research covering the entire post-
