mherst News-Times VOLUME XIX, NO. 4 AMHERST, OHIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1947 THE SANDSTONE CENTER OF THE WORLD Value of Contributions to March of Dimes Is Shown t "It Some indication of the extent of the care provided for polio victims by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is shown in. the following letter from Fred Hogrefe. Jackson Street, whose t w children were stricken last September. The letter follows: We have been asked by a number of oar friends to what extent the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis is providing for the, care and treatment of'our two children who have been at City Hos pital in Cleveland since the middle of last September. No doubt, many others would like thi9 question answered also. The Foundation, through our Lorain County Chapter, is carrying the entire burden of expense. We do not see any of the bills but by multiplying the room rates by the number of days transpired and adding estimates for special medical services the total has probably exceeded $2700 by this time. Both children are in the contagion department where they are receiving the best of attention by specially trained doctors and nurses. Physical therapists supervise the exercises and baths given to repair the damage done by the dread poliomyelitis virus. Marilyn has been improving steadily under these treatments and is new able to sit up and move about in a wheel chair. Mel-vin, however, is much more seriously involved and has had to remain in an iron lung ever since his admission. Due to this confinement he has not been able to receive much of the therapic treatment so necessary to recovery from paralysis. The iron Jung is keeping his lung and heart in operation in the absence of the use of hir chest muscles ?nd rVa-phragm. These instruments cost the Foundation approximately $2000 each, and are equipped to provide access for the care of the occupants, including aspiration,intna-vein-ous feeding, plasma infusion, etc. when required. A nonfiling electric motor provides the power to operate the air pump which causes the patient to inhale and exhale in regular cycles. Only the pat-icn.'s head remains outside the iron lung so that he can breathe fresh air. The treatment of polio victims is necessarily expensive and usually requires a ling perici of time for recovery. Expensive equipment inch 3 iron lu'.':fes, Hubbard tanks, hoi pack machines, whirl pool baths, feeding pumps, etc. are required. Apparently no one seems to be immune from attack by this terrible disease and no one yet knows how to prevent its attack on mankind. Victim; admitted at City Hospital itn the past four months have ranged in age from 6 weeks to 61 years. Most of them come from homes where the victims had been physically well Ciii'ed for. At oiie time last lull there were 134 polio patients at this hospital and at present, which is theoff-season for polio infection, there are 54 patients. Last year was the worst year in our history in the spread of this disease. A hearty and simcere support In the "March of Dimes" is necessary in the fight to locate and destroy this virus at Its source and for the continued care of its victims. Wishing you real success in this and future "March of Dimes" campaigns and expressing our heartfelt appreciation for the help provided by past campaigns, I am Sincerely yours, Fred Hogrefe March of Dimes Goal Set at $600; $190 Is Collected Letters were being sent out this week to organizations, businesses, and individuals, seeking contributions to the current March of Dimes drive as fair collections were reported for the first week. Donations of $ 1 86 had been received by C.L.

According to the county board of elections, a primary is not necessary unless there are more petitions filed . than there are offices to be filled.
