Bartlett will join the thous-
ands of other communities over
the nation who are now conduct-
ing their annual March of Dimes
drives early next week. Official
starting date of tho Campaign
was January 3 and it continues
through January 31. The theme
this year is "Polio Isn't Licked
Yet."
Eldor Lindemann will serve
as local campaign chairman for
the drive and has tentative plans
for conducting a block by block
soliciatation campaign in order
to wind up the drive during the
remaining days of this month.
Progressive coffees were used
last year and were quite success-
ful but they require more time.
High school girls will solicit the
residence section and business
men will solicit the business sec-
tion1. The Bartlett Luncheon Club
has accepted responsibility for
the March of Dimes drive each
year and appointment of Mr.
Lindemann was by the club with
approval of the county chair-
man. Millions of dollars in March
of Dimes funds are needed of-
ficials say "to aid thousands
and thousands of polio patients
for whom the Salk vaccine comes
to late." Some 68000 patients
all over the country are now on
the rolls of the National Foun-
dation and many more will be
stricken before the Salk vaccine
is administered to all.
Funds are also needed to con-
tinue the National Foundation's
work in scientific research. That
program has already produced
the Salk vaccine which is 60-90
per cent effective against the
three types of virus known to
cause polio. Additional research
may turn up better medical
weapons.
March of Dimes research goes
beyond preventive techniques
and devotes a good deal of time
and money to the search for
new methods of care and treat-
ment; the polio fund also pro-
vides training for doctors nur-
ses and other specialists in re-
habilitation. During! 1955 the March of
Dimes dollar went 53jJ to pa-
tient aid. 21V to polio preven-
tion 14V to research and edu-
cation 4Vo6 for service to chap
ters 3 to administration
2i for medical department
service and y6 to public infor
mation.
