Among other items of busi- ness Monday night—a stand- ing vote of appreciation was given retiring councilmen George Albert and James Spangler; announcement was made that the borough has paid $9859.78 to the state as the first of three payments for installing curbs and side- walks along Main street, leaving a balance of $19,716.- 57; that legal fees connected with the Florin annexation ough machinery be invent- oried each January 1, and a Florin ward councilman pointed out that there is a need for some information in Florin concerning borough ordinances. An explanation of nego- tiations now in progress to settle financial adjustments between the borough and East Donegal and Mount Joy ownships was given. Presently, Mount Joy Twp. is asking $8,600 and East Donegal township has a claim for $14,000. Both are settle- ments growing out of the an- nexation. Brief discussion was given a suggestion that the borough needs a new “municipal” building to take the place of the borough shed on Henry street. There was talk that such a building would serve both the borough and the authori- ty and that land adjacent to the standpipe at Lumber and David street might be a suit- able spot.

Roo- sevelt, himself a polio vic- tim, the March of Dimes, as it is known today, embraces not only polio but includes arthritis, birth defects, virus diseases and crippling diseas- es. In addition, the National Foundation has fostered the building of the Salk Biolog- ical Institute in San Diego, Calif. The director of this institute, Dr. Jonas Salk was the founder of the Salk Vac- cine which, coupled with Sa- bin Oral Vaccine arrested the paralytic type of polio, sav- ing countless thousands from death and crippling effects.

Announcing plans to double the present number of March of Dimes birth de- fects and arthritis centers in the nation, the world’s most - successful voluntary health organization this week launched its tradi- tional January fund-raising appeal. : Basil O'Connor, president of The National Foundation- March of Dimes, which financed development of both polio vac- cines, said the goal this year would be $45 million, “a sum our medical and scientific ad- visers agree we can wisely use to combat the ravages of these cripplers. This sum would apply to patient care, research, professional and public educa- tion.” The March of Dimes now supports some 77 birth defects and arthritis treatment centers | across the country. According to Dr. William S. Clark, direc- tor of the medical department | of The National Foundation- | March of Dimes, the national | dimensions of the health prob- lems posed by birth defects and arthritis “have grown to a point. where this nation re- quires at least 100 centers for birth defects and 50 for ar- thritis. “Through the generosity of the American people, we will build up our chapter and cen- ter programs across the United offensive against both these crippling afflictions will be re- doubled in 1964.” : * Leading in this offensive will be the members of the 3,000 March of Dimes chapters in the nation plus the volunteers they enlist—an expected army of two million people. The campaign continues throughout January and culminates with the Mothers’ March during which some 15 million homes are visited from coast to coast. In addition, a total of 36 million “mailers” are distributed na- tionally to inform families of the health aims of the March of Dimes and they alse serve as a means of returning con- tributions to local chapters. The herculean task of addressing these envelopes regionally: is unselfishly assumed by volun- teers—thousands of teenagers, homemakers, grandmothers.
