Led by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, scientists
redoubled their efforts to curb
the plague, to care for the stric-
ken and to furnish the nation’s
children with a safe and prac-
tical defense against the disease.
It has cost $16,000,000 in
March of Dimes funds and four-
teen years of research by hund-
reds of scientists to bring know-
ledge of polio to the point where
this kind of control can be pro-
mised. More millions must be
spent; more work must be done.
Every contribution large or
small, to the March of Dimes,
will help stamp out this dread-
ed disease.

Warren Z. Funk, 325 East Main
street, this boro, has been nomi-
nated as a candidate for the
1954 National Poster Boy in the
annual March of Dimes Cam-
paign.
The local boy was nominated
for the Postor Boy honor by
Christian C. Rudy, chairman of
Lancaster County Chapter of
the National Foundation for In-
fantile Paralysis, as a typical’
example of the aid given local’
polio victims through the March
of Dimes Fund.
Corry was stricken with polio
Sept. 1951 and was discharged
from the Lancaster General hos-
pital of that year.
Rudy explained when the
child left the hospital paralysis

both legs, but with the aid of
braces and continuing therapy,
that is financed by the local po-
lio chapter, the child is showing
steady improvement in the use
of both affected limbs.
“As in the case in most of the
polio cases in Lancaster, the
local chapter came to the rescue
of the parents and helped with
