MARCH OF DIMES 30,000 Men, Women, Children Stricken With Polio During 1950 Polio struck again In 1950. For the third consecutive year, Infantile paralysis went on a r.ampage across the nation, striking more than 30,000 men, women and children. ■ Only once before—in 1949—had polio attacked with greater violence. The toll of that tragic year was still being counted as the fresh onslaught began./ Hospitals and clinics were still crowded with polio patients from previous epidemics who were depending upon March of Dimes aid for continuing treatment. Then, on top of this staggering load, came the new cases. Dozens, at first. Then hundreds. Then thousands and more thousands, as the epidemic swept the country from California to New York and from Texas to Alaska. Before 1950 was over',\ March of Dimes funds had assisted in some measure more than 54,000 polio vic tims*^ this and other years—at a cost of $20.000,000. And that wasn’t enough. The National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, for the second year, was forced to operate at- a deficit. Polio played no favorites in 1950. Every section of the country suf fered heavy attacks. Texas, the battleground of major epidemics for six of the last eight years, was hit harder than ever before. Vir ginia, with a long record of light incidence, suddenly found itself the focal point of a raging epidemic. Maryland and Iowa watched their case records climb to unprecedent ed heights. But, whether records were broken or not, it was evident that the entire nation still was be ing battered by a polio wave high er than any in our previous experi ence. Three Black Years The last three years have been the three blackest polio years in the nation's history. Cumulative in cidence for this period reached the monstrous total of 100,000 cases— almost as many as the entire case load for the preceding ten years Fortunately, wherever polio hit, a chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paral ysis was on the spot, ready to help the patient, his family, and the entire community, as necessary. Your local chapter was the first line of defense against the disease. Its chief weapon was money — money contributed by the American people to the annual March of Dimes. March of Dimes Money, admin istered by 2,822 national foundation chapters serving the entire nation, has paid bills for patient care totalling $47,000,000 during the last two years. Under the pressure of successive epidemics 873 chapters in 45 states were broke by mid- October of 1950 and had to turn to their national office for financial assistance. Before the year was over, national foundation head quarters had sent out more than $7,500,000 in supplementary aid to these hard-hit areas. March of Dimes money paid hos pital bills for thousands of families who could not meet the high cost of polio care unaided. Four out of every five of the stricken needed —and received—financial assistance from the national foundation and its chapters. March of Dimes money paid for nursing care, physical therapy, transportation, wheelchairs, braces and crutches wherever necessary. Help was given to all who need it without regard to age, race, creed or color. $94 Million Spent March of Dimes money paid sal aries, travel expenses and main tenance of more than 1,600 des perately needed nurses recruited for the national foundation by the Red Cross for emergency service in high-incidence areas in 37 states. Other personnel furnished on the same basis included more than 100 physical therapists and approxi mately 120 nursing consultants. M a r c h of Dimes money shipped more than $1,000,000 worth of iron lungs, hot pack machines and other vital equip ment on spot notice from seven equipment depots strategically located throughout the nation. Up to mid-October these depots had rushed Into epidemic zones 521 respirators, 299 hot pack machines, more than 200 cribs and beds, and a heavy volume of miscellaneous hospital sup plies and equipment. Bills for polio patient care alone have consumed more than $94,000,- 000 in March of Dimes funds since the national foundation was estab lished in 1938. Almost two-thirds of this money has been spent during the three years 1948 through 1950 „ Of all the money spent in the con stant battle against infantile par alysis, the largest part is spent on patient care. Four out of five cases need financial assistance, the national foundation reports. First Iron Lung Used on Friday, Sept 13,1929 •PHEY GAVE BARRET HOYT 30 •4 minutes to live that September in 1929. It was precisely the 13th hour of Friday, September 13. The 21-year-old Harvard Univer sity senior had been stricken by polio. The disease had taken a strangle-hold on his breathing mus cles: he was smothering to death. It was at this moment that a physician attending the youth, Dr. S. D. Kramer, decided to try a virtually unproved device—a me chanical breathing machine just in vented by a Harvard professor, Dr. Philip Drinker. If the machine would work, Barret might hold death at bay until his stricken mus cles could recover That was a big \if.” Dr. Drinker’s machine had been tried only once before. During the Spring of 1929, a polio patient had been placed in the machine and had died. But death had been due to pneumonia —not polio. Medical History Written The medical history written in the next few hours hat meant the dif ference between life and death for thousands stricken by polio. This Is one reason why the mechanical re spirator, known generally as the \Iron Lung,\ was selected as the symbol for coin collectors during this year’s March of Dimes. Iron lungs in use In the United States today number some 3,650 and range from the 700-pound Drinker type manufactured by sev eral firms at $1500 to $2000 each, to portable one-pound chest plates which are connected to pumps. Each has a specific use and all are represented in the seven strategical ly-located March of Dimes supply depots that handle emergency calls throughout the country. But on that Friday the 13th in 1929, there was only one mechan ical respirator In the world. For tunately, it was in Boston. Dr. Kramer telephoned Dr. W. L. Aycock, of the Harvard Polio myelitis Commission. Dr. Aycock rushed from his office across the street to Peter Bent Brigham Hos pital to help set up the machine. Meanwhile, Dr. Drinker hurried from a warehouse with his iron lung atop a taxicab. They arrived just as an ambulance brought Barrett. When he was placed in the respirator, the student was hard ly breathing at all. Twenty-nine minutes had gone by! The ma chine never had been tried un der such alarming conditions. The three doctors peered at the gauge which registered whether the youth’s lungs were inhaling and exhaling. The motor droned. The needle on the gauge flickered. Then it moved up a bit; then higher with each breath. Then, nearly normal. In a few hours, Barrett dropped into a deep, natural sleep. His tired body had been relieved of the rack ing strain of motivating his prac tically powerless muscles. Youth Recovers Improved in design during the years since 1929, the modern-day tank respirator employs much the same basic principles as the one which saved Barrett Hoyt. The patient is laid on a cot like pallet and slid into the metal, air-tight container, his head projecting through a rub ber collar. Electrically driven pumps create a pressure within the container slightly higher than on the ontside. This gently cases the air from the patient’s lungs. Then the pressure in the container is reduced so that it equals the ontside pressure and the -fresh air eases into the lungs through the patient’s nose and mouth. This two-phase action occurs at regulated inter vals so that the patient will breathe evenly. Barrett Hoyt was out of his iron lung in four weeks and was dis charged from the hospital before Christmas of 1929. He now works for an insurance firm in Boston and lives with his family in Brookline, Mass. Friday the 13th! The first successful iron lung pa tient insists: \That’s my lucky day!” MARCH O P D I M E S J A N U A R Y 15 -3 1 E P I D E M IC M O E D U C A T I O N ^ E S E A f i C f f \ Most of Packers' Sale Dollar Goes to Farmer Industry Expects Near Record Production in '51 The meat industry—from farmer to consumer—is an important part of this country’s economy. Of every dollar exchanging hands in the in dustry, 78 cents goes to the coun try’s farmers. Profits in 1949, as reported by companies producing the bulk of the nation’s meat supply, averaged 7/10 cents out of each dollar of sales, or about 1/3 of a cent per pound of meat sold. As shown by the above chart, pay rolls got next to the largest share of . 7&°< LIVESTOCK ind attar firm products 9.M OTHER wptnMs I-»* TAXES m »0 ’4 PAYROLLS NET PROFIT after pipni) *11 eipentea Of every packer’s sales dollar, 78 cents goes to the country’s farmers. th e packers’ dollar—10.7 cents; other expenses totaled 9.6 cents and taxes got 1 cent of the dollar. Profits included those made on the sale of meat and all other pro ducts, including by-products and non-meat items, such as soap, cleansers, medicinal glands, and dairy and poultry products. The meat industry expects a near record production during 1951. Con sumption will remain high due to defense buying and record employ ment, industry spokesmen believe. Egg Production Depends On Well Balanced Ration Poultry experts report it requires about one pound of balanced feed for every seven eggs produced. To make a well balanced ration the vocational agricultural service of the University of Illinois advises: Use at least three feeds from the cereal grains and by-products to make up 75 to 90 per cent of the ration. Five to 10 per cent of the ration should comprise an animal-protein feed. Use one or more plant-protein feeds, if available at reasonable cost, Not more than 15 per cent of the ra tion should come from this group. Include at least one legume rough- age, to make up 5 to 10 per cent. Some carrier of calcium should be included if- the ration contains no meat scrap, fishmeal or tankage. One pound of common salt should be added for eadh 100 pounds of to tal ration. Hog House Scientific hog raising for highest profits calls for warm, dry, inex pensive housing. The sunlit hog house above is simply constructed. Its dimensions are 7 feet by 6 feet, and 4 feet 10 inches high. Built on skids, it has a one inch rough floor laid on 2 by 4-inch sills. Studding of 2 by three inch lumber supports the masonite quarter-inch tempered hardboard used for siding and roof. This material is durable and weath er resistant. Four-inch light drap hinges are.used for turning back the roof door. Plans are available by writing Farm Service Bureau, Suite 2037, 111 West Washington St., Chi cago 2, 1 1 1 . The plan number is AFB-196 and are free. Plan Hog Pasture—Farmers plan ning next year’s crops should in clude an alfalfa pasture for hogs to save grain , and protein feeds. U. S. Crop Production Up During Last Ten Years Agriculture during the last decade has increased production from 10 to 14 per cent although its manpow er has declined and the nation’s population has increased, agricul ture leaders point out. ç The increase was due in great part to agricultural colleges with their branches of extension, re s e a r c h , a n d resident-teaching. Mechanization also played an im portant part in the increase. TH E DILLO N EXAMINER Add Spices and Herbs To Vegetables For Extra Flavor, Color S PICE THE VEGETABLE and keep it interesting. Your fam ily’s enjoyment of these vegetables will pay you dividends not only in their h e a l t h and well-being, e v e n during winter months, but will also add luster to your reputation as a c l e v e r cook. Though you may rely heavi ly on root and canned vegetables in the absence of produce from your own vegetable garden, there’s no i reason why vegetables should be dull eating. A dash of spice here, a sprinkling of herbs there lift them out of the ordinary eating class to a gourmet category. » » • Savory White Beans (Serves 6) 3 cups dried white pea beans \Vt teaspoon salt % teaspoon garlic salt % teaspoon sweet basil 2 small bay leaves % teaspoon black pepper I finely diced green pepper 2 medium sized onions 3 large ripe tomatoes m tablespoons dried parsley flakes % teaspoon oregano, crumbled Wash beans and soak overnight in cold water.
