Each year this mysterious crippling disease at¬ tacks thousands of children— killing, maiming, depriving help¬ less little ones of their right to a normal childhood. Last year was no exception. The scourge of polio struck again, claiming approximately 10,000 victims. This was the fifth consecutive year of unu¬ sually high incidence—five years in which roughly 80,000 persons been infected with the disease. Thousands of these will require care and treatment for months —even years—to come. What are we doing to stem this terrible tide? What CAN we do? The MARCH OF DIMES will be held throughout the nation January 15 to 30. It is our op¬ portunity to engage actively in the fight against infantile pa¬ ralysis. This is the only annual fund-raising appeal of the Na¬ tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which in 1948 marks a decade in service in fighting polio with the dimes and dollars raised through the March of Dimes. The National Foundation is your army, working in the field, fightinmg epidemics, bringing aid to the stricken, supplying equipment; doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other polio specialists. It assures the best available care and treat¬ ment for all, regardless of race or religion. It supports inten¬ sive research to find the cause of polio and eliminate it as a threat to our homes and our children. The MARCH OF DIMES has become an American institution. It is our guarantee that every¬ thing possible will be done to repulse the savage onslaught of a killer. Join in the fight. Give gen¬ erously to the March of Dimes! LEILA KIMBROUGH S. S. CLASS MEETS WITH MRS. A. L. DYER The regular monthly meeting of the Leila Kimbrough Sunday School Class was held Friday evening at the home of Mrs. A. L Dyer in Trenton. About eighteen members of the class thorough¬ ly enjoyed the meeting, which was presided over by Leila Kim¬ brough, president. Miss Fannielu McWhorter, chairman of the program committee, had an ex¬ cellent program arranged, with Mrs. Raymond Morrison con¬ ducting the devotional part of the program, and Mrs. E. M Parker gave a very interesting discussion on the subject, “What the New Year Means to Me.” Delicious refreshments were served at the conclusion of the meeting. It was found that the class needs some extra funds to fin¬ ish paying for some work they have had done on the church, and it was decided to have a chicken stew on Thursday night, January 22, at the Methodist church. Tickets for the chicken stew will be sold by members of the class at $1.00 per ticket for adults, and fifty cents for chil¬ dren. A committee, of which Mr. Jules Case is chairman, was elected to make suitable ar¬ rangements for the chicken stew. The time will be from 6 to 9 p. m., and all are invited. Those wishing to obtain tickets will please see any member of the class.

And speaking of politics and the many ups and downs con¬ nected, the writer might along a few points for whatever they may be worth to those who have chosen to make the various races. I am speaking as one with experience and the infor¬ mation given might save the fellows considerable grief in many instances. In running for a public office. I always thought it very neces¬ sary to see just as many people as humanly possible before the day of election—That is, go di¬ rectly to their homes, visit with them and discuss their problems as well as yours. Now, this visiting the homes business has more angles than might be an¬ ticipated. For instance, the dog situation cannot in any means be discounted. Around most every home will be found some kind of a dog. He might be ly¬ ing under the doorstep, around the corner, near the yard gate, on the porch or even in the house. In any event, don’t “take” him too “lightly.” Don’t be surprised if you leave the seat of your pants in some fellow’s vard. as a result of some Innocent little pooch not liking your ap¬ pearance, and don’t be too sure j of walking up the steps without a “wire haired” reaching out and taking off one of your quent friends make its sides out a little.

However, one of biggest predicaments I was in happened near Head River. came up to a certain house as I opened the front gate, six or seven big dogs, all piled out of a bunch of suckle vines near the porch made for me. This pack really bloodthirsty and plenty of blood in their Well, I of course closed the against them, but all, at the time, “sailed" over the fence the outside—this meant it time for me to be on the and they landed back over just as much ease as the time. This "out and in" tion continued with momentum until a lady to the door and convinced dogs that I was just candidate and would do harm—"for the present, way." It Is well to keep In that the little fuzzy type you see lying out in the sun with the "holler than thou” look, let you get where he wante and then bounce upon you and proceed to take you apart. Most every dog will be just as anxious to bite you as you are leaving as when you arrived— Keep that in mind. Then there’s the "candy for the children” question which certainly must not be brushed off. The most important thing to keep in mind in this con¬ nection is to have an ample sup¬ ply not only of candy, but chew¬ ing gum, etc., at all times. If you want to get yourself In an awful Jam, just walk into a where there are six or eight and then not have enough can¬ dy, etc., to go around—you’ll wind up with half of them bawl¬ ing to the tip of their voices and the whole crowd mad as fire at you. Too. it is always the best idea to leave before the the children have made away with what you have given them, lest they start yelling for more.
