"Chief McKenzie," said McKittrick, "will be an ideal leader in the campaign to finance the continued attack upon the dread disease, polio." The Costa Mesa police head has been an active worker in the local chapter's ranks. He expressed confidence in the success of the March of Dimes that he will head during January. "I have accepted the post of March of Dimes chairman with a full sense of its very important responsibility and the vital bearing which success in the coming March of Dimes will have upon the health and well being of the hundreds of polio victims in our county," he said. "I say 'success' because I will not consider the possibility of failure in the March of Dimes. We must not fall. It means too much to these sufferers." "Despite the discovery of the new Salk polio vaccine, which has proved so effective, polio is not yet licked. We already have the polio victims of past years, who continue to need care, and we will continue to have new victims, because only a minute percentage of our population has been vaccinated at this time. "The need, therefore, is still great, and we must meet it. I am confident that the people of Orange county will liberally support the March of Dimes."
