r rot?.* ’ Brazos County Folio Money Voted for Use * The Brazos County Chap ter of the National Founda tion for Infantile Paralysis is sending $1,000 from its local treasury to National Head quarters of the March of Dimes or ganization to help pay patient care bills in other parts of the country, it was announced today by W. H. Badgett, Chapter chairman. Responding to the appeal of Basil O’Connor, National Founda tion president, who recently warned that national funds for aid to Chapters would be used up by r November, the Brazos County ‘Chapter voted at a meeting of its executive board recently to con tribute uncommitted local funds for patient care elsewhere. As of the beginning of this month, 759 of the Foundation’s 2,800 Chapters had exhausted their local treasuries in meeting costs of patient care in their localities. C A sufficient Chapter balance re mains, Badgett said, to continue care of all local polio patients need ing aid. “We have been fortunate this year in Brazos County,” said Bad gett. “Polio incidence has been relatively light, as compared with other counties in Texas. “By sending this contribution to help other Chapters whose load has been heavy this year we shall make funds available for the pur pose for which they were conti’i- buted last January. Polio patients, wherever they live, have been pledged assistance by the National Foundation if they need it, and it is the mutual responsibility of all units of the organization to see that they get it. We could be recipients "of such contributions some other year,” he added.
