Polio Cases In State Now Exceed 3,500 Polio cases now total more than 3,500 in California and every aid of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has been thrown into the fight, Mrs. Lois Cook Brown, campaign director of the Orange county chapter declared. She had returned with first hand reports from an emergency meeting of March of Dimes campaign directors representing California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. She said that the polio outbreak in southern California has assumed greater proportions than those in Texas and North Carolina. Cases in Orange county now exceed 90. Every effort is being made to provide the best of medical care for every patient and there is complete cooperation from everyone concerned. Polio cases for 1948 are already over the 20,000 mark and there is fear that the year's total may exceed 28,000 or even reach 30,000. The worst epidemic year in history was 1916 when 27,363 cases were charted. Instead of tapering off substantially with the advent of colder weather, polio is still raging in many other states, and urgent calls for outside aid from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis are continuing every day. At the same time, due to the terrific outbreaks which have swept large areas, emergency epidemic aid funds of the Foundation are now at the vanishing point. The fund may face a $2,000,000 deficit by January, the chairmen were told. This money borrowed from research funds will have to List Winners of Horse Contest Winners of the horse judging contest conducted in the City park following the Hallowe'en parade Saturday night are as follows: Men's Single Silver Mount—1.

Applaud Elks' Hallowe’en Dance Enthusiasm was expressed by members of the Anaheim Elk Lodge No. 1345, who sponsored Hallowe'en costume dance following the Silver Anniversary parade in Anaheim. More than 250 couples attended the Elks fete at the North Los Angeles street lodge General Chairman Andy Anders said. Out-of-town guests came from throughout southland cities including Los Angeles, Alhambra and Santa Monica, Warren Ashleigh lodge manager stated. Against a vivid background orange and black decorations, participants enjoyed rhythmic dance. At the same time, due to the terrific outbreaks which have swept large areas, emergency epidemic aid funds of the Foundation are now at the vanishing point. The fund may face a $2,000,000 deficit by January, the chairmen were told. This money borrowed from research funds will have to be replaced. For this reason plans to hold the greatest March of Dimes drive in all the years of the polio fight were discussed at the Los Angeles meeting. Recruiting of more volunteer workers will begin at once, Mrs. Brown said. James O. Clayton, M.D., has announced his association with the Johnston-Gendel Clinic, 117 North Claudina street, Anaheim, effective this week. Dr. Clayton's practice will be limited to eye, ear, nose and throat treatment. A seven pound, two ounce baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. P. F.

Miller Accident Victim Harold E. Miller, 19 years of age, a resident of Whittier, was killed accidentally on Tuesday at Grove and North streets. Driving his truck with a load of tin cans or trash to be dumped at the county yard, his truck bed hoist mechanism failed to come back down. Going to the rear of the truck to see what the trouble might be, it is reported he stuck his head under the bed to investigate. The bed descended, catching him in such a manner as to strangle him to death. He was born in Eldorado, Ohio, but had been a resident of California for the past four years. Surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Everett Miller of 434 South Milton, Whittier. The body was brought to Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary and interment will be in the cemetery at Whittier.

While one man kept the boy covered with a pistol in a back room the other took $115 in currency and half dollars from themoney till. James could give only a confused description of the holdup men. A customer who came in as they were leaving could add only that they left in an old automobile. The new wax for glassware will also speed the cleaning of diffusing bowls and bulbs. Be sure to keep them spotlessly clean for maximum light output. Dirt and dust hold back the light and by cleaning alone, light can be increased 50 per cent or more.
