Today instead of boasting of world leadership in the matter of human brotherhood, we are startled and humiliated before the up and coming communists, who seem determined to ulti- mately take over the world and rule it according to the com- munist formula. It is somewhat disconcerting to see our once nroud and mighty nation fighting for its life. And the outcome of this fight concerns every American regardless of race or national!- ty or creed. We would be poor- ly advised if we minimized the thread that is upon us, and it is geine to take the best that mir nearlv 200 000 000 can giv n if our way of life is to be sav- ed.

W?A WORKSHOP BYNUM WASHLNGTON D. C, „ Jan. . 16 •Polio will continue to strike those persons who have failed to ger their polio shots,” Chas. Bynum, director of interraci- ai activities for the National Foundation for Infantile Para¬ lysis, stated in remarks to the Mid-Winter Workshop of the National Newspaper Publishers Association. Mr. Bynum said: ‘ pre-school children, teenagers and young adults have been slowest in securing the protec¬ tion afforded by the Salk polio vaccine.” Bynum pointed out that “the American public, through March of Dimes contributions to the N.F.I.P., developed a safe and effective vaccine. But the American public has not taken full advantage of the protec¬ tion made possible by support of the polio fund drive.” “Until the tens of thousands of polio victims who can bene¬ fit from modern methods of rehabilitation have been re- stored to maximum ievels, the fight against polio must continue. There is no victory until those crippled by polio have received the full oenefits of new methods of rehabilitation developed with March of Dimes support,” By¬ num concluded. ALLEN UNIV.
