Among other items of busi-

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.-

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.

Starting back in 1934 as

Against Infantile Paralysis”
by the late Franklin D. Roo-

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-

death and crippling effects.

Patronize our Advertisers.
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.
