Polio Campaign Aided by Annual March of Dimes
Soon the warm ·weather will arrive, and with it will come the tendency to contract Infantile Paralysis. The March of Dimes is now trying to get the jump on that old Polio bug before the warm weather sets in. The March of Dimes hopes to have some fighting reserve in cold cash if everybody joins in on the f ight . The money collected goes to pay for doctors, n urses, and all the equipment that goes with them. P u t yourself in the place of some bedr idden patient, who may or may not walk again . Think how he would feel if he knew that everyone was behind him and backing him up. Just the mere thought would do him a world of good. 1f everybody in Palomar gave just one thin dime, think what that would odd up to. The March of DitnfS needs your dimP in ordPr to carry this thing ou t. Give to the :Jfarch of Dimes so tlntt someonP e) ·p may " ·aile i::f---
