THEY NEED YOUR HELP
Polio epidemics in 1949 were the worst in the nation’sj-his-
tory Mere than 40,000 people were stricken jn major out-
breaks that raged across widespread areas from coast to coast.
The epidemics ore over. But for thousands who must live
with the disease the tragedy of polio has hardly begun. Of last
year's victims, 17,000 will require continued care and treat-
ment this year. Many more thousands remain from other
years.
Most of these patients are children They are dependhnjj
heavily upon the MARCH OP DIMES to furnish financial as-
sistance in the long, hard pull along the road to rehabilitation.
They nede your help.
MARCH OF DIMES receipts for last year totalled $26,-
000,000
Patient care alone in 1949 cost $31,000,000 in MARCH
OF DIMES funds .
Hew much will be weeded in 1950?
No one edn answer that question with any degree of cer-
tainty. But it is obvious that your contribution to the 1950
MARCH OF DIMES must be much greater than ever before;
if sufficient funds ore to be mode available to the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in its all-out fight against
this dreadful, crippling disease. ,
The time to help is NOW—Jonuory 16-31—when the 1950
MARCH OF DIMES drive is in full swivyg. The time to think
about polio is TODAY, when there irtime to organize and
plan our defense against the disease and ploce in capable
hands the weapons that will ultimately spell victory over polio.
So, now you are bein gasked to contribute, give—and give
unstintingly JOIN THE MARCH OF DIMES.
POUO FUNDS-
HOWUSED
Here’* what happens to the
and dollar* you five to the
March of Plroei which la uiny
ITeld this year from January
through 31: y
Half remains, with the local
chapter of the National Founda-
used to pay for that part of medi-
cal care which a local patient's
family cannot afford and, in
emergencies, to supplement the
national epidemic aid fund.
The other half ia sent to na-
tional headquarters. It is used for
research to find a means of pre-
venting or curing the disease,
education of highly-skilled and
much . needed professional person-
nel and for epidemic aid to chap-
ters whose local treasuries are
exhausted.
However the money is distrib-
uted, all of i* romes badk in some
form of benefit to the community
in which it is raised. . It comes
hack in improved treatment
methods, trained personnel and
rash when it is needed. Eventually,
polio investiga'ors say, it will
come back in the form of a vac-
cine to
infantile paralysis.
You can help assure every vic-
tim of this disease the adequate
rate he must have for as Ion* as
he needs it—by giving NOW, in
increased Amounts, to the 1980
MARCH Op DIMES.

TO Congress

Friday, poverty is to be wiped out by the'process of higher
wages, higher prices and more production to offer labor sixty-
one million jobs. According to those who delve in figures, Mr.
Truman's statement concerning wages is that The average
wage earner will receive $5,000 a year. The President alsq
stated that the budget will be balanced "at the earliest date
consistent with the welfare of the country." The two legislative
proposals, permanent authority to control consumer credit ond
permanent authority to regulate the credit given by all banks
covered by the federal deposit insurance, are unpopular with
the bankers
In the economic field, business feels that the government
should shut down on spending and reduce taxes . . . not raise
taxes Business also is of the belief that prices are inflated,
ond that more and more government spending will cause
greater inflation Greater inflation .will eventually kill the
goose that laid the golden egg
Lasting prosperity is not buijf upon inflation prices . . .
prices must be normal or else our economy is out of kelter.
Inflation Is just a shot in the arm—temporary prosperity.
GOVERNMENT INEFFICIENCY
A,
Reports of the Hoover Commission indicate thot Uncle Som
could save $30 million to $50 million a year by sorting offi-
cial records, throwing away useless papers, re-hou$ing essen-
tial documents, and setting up a "birth control" system for
new records
The commission found thot U. S records now occupy 18,-
500,000 cubic feet of space
They would fill six buildings the size of Washington's Pent-
agon, and they are ^cumulating at the rate of o million cubic
feet per year ^ ■ -
Even space for housing these records costs about $27 mil-
lion per year Experts say it tokes another $20 million to oper-
ate and maintain thd buildings J
Officials admit that one-third of these records are useless
and could be burned without loss to anyone A lot of them
could have been destroyed when new records were mode to re-
place them, but insteod, both old and new records were stored
Experts suggest that acres of space could be saved by using
microfilm for records important enough to keep Others, it is
said, might Be stored in shut-down, war plants in various parts
of the country.
A lot of peoole believe the old Dopers should be cleared
awoy in some fashion before buildings get so crowded with
records that there is no roorh to work.
