Returning from a regional campaign meeting of March of Dimes chairmen, directors and workers in Los Angeles, Bates said, "We heard both good news and bad news at the meeting.

Plans have been made to recruit the greatest force of workers ever enrolled in the March of Dimes so that the drive from Jan. 2 to Jan. 31 will raise the funds which must be contributed this year, the chairman declared. Although a definite goal is not established by the March of Dimes, it is hoped that $100,000 may be contributed by Orange county residents. Bates said that although polio is rolling up a much higher total of cases than in 1951, there was some good news reported at the Los Angeles meeting. The National Foundation is assisting hundreds of chapters which have exhausted their funds, such as in Orange county. To date this year funds to aid chapters total $5,000,000. Other good news is that the crippling effects of the disease have been greatly reduced due to prompt diagnosis and improved treatment sponsored by the March of Dimes. And the fight against polio, he said, at last seems to be on the road to scientific success. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 25 Years Ago Pred A.
