B. Hammond County Polio Director, to mobilize full community support of the Polio Epidemic Emergency Drive, it was announced today. Launched throughout the na tion by Basil O’Connor, National Foundation president, this is the first emergency drive ever held in the history of the fight against polio in the United States. It is termed a “disaster drive” because high polio inci dence and high cost of providing medical care has exhausted March of Dimes epidemic aid re sources. “The response of the first call for help bespeaks community wide support and understanding of the critical need for more money to fight polio.” he said. "Our Polio Epidemic Emergency Drive here will be fast-and furi ous In its Intensity. We intend to knock hard on the door of every house and business office during the one-week of our in tensive appeal. I am sure no one will fall to respond to the cries of the stricken children on whose behalf we are asking for dimes and dollars.” “We appreciate the interest and support of the public” Mr. Hammond said. “We've had no time to organize In detail for this campaign for funds. And in short week of our effort, we’d rather call on someone twice than skip a family entirely. I’m sure everyone will understand and agree with that sentiment.” < Accidental Deaths High in U. S. A.
