“■resident Roosevelt,
Tho post yoar of 1946 has soon ono of tho
rerst opiclonics of this plaguo for a good
nany years. Rmds that havo boon built
up over a period of a good nary years noro
conplctoly exhausted. It v.tis very fortu
r.'to that those funds rrore available, but
r. v it is up'to tho people to replenish
the treasury.
Fron Rational Headquarters no receive a
monthly paper nhich gathers and publishes
no’.vs fmn all the states. Hron it no quote
" Indications are that this year’s'infan
tile paralysis toll rill exceed HO,000
cares, making it tho second worst opidonic
year in tho recorded history of the di
sease. The all-tino high ras set in 1916.
According to the latest figures (October)
three states this yc~r bore the brunt of
the epidemics, accounting for airiest one
third. of all eases in tho nation. They are
Hir.noseta ~ith 2,430’casbs by Toytanker
2£; Illinois, rith 1,779, and California
rith 1,643. At the sane tir.c last year,
they reported 135; 793 and 506 cases res
pect :• vely.
"Thr'ughout the nonth, chapters in epidem
ic'areas continued ceaselessly to fight
the disease and by the cr.d of September
more then'300 in 35 states reported funds
exhausted, Supplementing those funds
nati nal headquarters had sint more .than
$5, '*00,000 in emergency aid*
Minnesota still remained highest on the
list cf states needing such’aid; By the
first of October, airiest §1,000,000 had
bco:i sent to tlic state by'national head
quarters. Of this amount, nearly §750,000
was sent'as emergency epidemic aid besides
the §"10,980 grant made to the University
of Minnesota in August to conduct a throe
year research program into aspects cf tho
1946 Minnc roit - cp idcr ic. ”
Among the lessons learned in this past
year Mariei K. O’Sullivan says—
”tho atienal Foundation has learned many
vaJruaklc lessens under fire. It knows hew
t: cope with epidemics of vide spread pro
portions in widely scattered areas. But
the battle to which wo are all cemitted
and to whoso successful outcome wo are all
solemnly pledged, is net yet won. But we
can find hope in the fact that there is no
problem to the solution which'non has sin
cerely bent his’mind and hand, which has
not keen solved, To must ro-dodicate our
selves to the cause and rc-affim our
pledges that wo will stick with the fight
until it is V'onJ"
