DR. PATTY HEADS {
TERR. CAMPAIGH FOR
’57 MARCH OF DIMES
Doctor Ernest N. Patty, presi
dent of the University of Alaska,
will direct the 1957 March of
Dimes throughout the Territory
of Alaska, it was announced last
week from New York by Basil
O’Connor, president of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
The March of Dimes will be
held January 2-31, inclusive thr
oughout the Territory and in
every community in the United
States.
Calling for generous support
of the voluntary campaign for
funds, Dr. Patty called attention
to the nearly 650 new cases of
polio which have been reported
in the Territory since 1950, and
the need for March of Dimes
funds to continue rehabilitation
and treatment for children and
adults previously stricken.
He Said: “The fight against
polio does not end with the dis
covery of the Salk vaccine. The
health department and private
physicians throughout the Terri
tory have been doing wonderful
work in vaccinaing thousands of
people but the majority of the
population is still without pro
tection. While the vaccination
program is being pushed, March
of Dimes financed research is
continuing in the fight to con
quer disease and disability. The
benefits of this research extend
not only to polio but to other
diseases and disabilities as well.
“The March of Dimes also fi
nances the training of scientists,
doctors, nurses, and other pro
fessional workers in medical and
allied fields, skilled hands who
will continue to serve long after
polio is conquered.”
