Join The March of Dimes
January is March of Dimes
month and the familiar little iron
lungs are in conspicuous places
in business houses throughout
town, placed there for contribu
tions.
Envelopes are being distributed
to school children to take home
for contributions and it is hoped
that the population of Nome will
respond generously as they have
in the past to this annual appeal.
Mrs. 'Steffen Andersen, who is
organizing the drive in this area,
states that outlying districts may
send in their contributions any
time this month also, as the drive
is not limited to Nome.
When polio struck in the Nome
School, an immediate response to
an appeal of the local doctor
brought sufficient vaccine to pro
tect every child. This drive is our
response and should help another
community in Alaska or wherever
needed.
Give generously of your dimes.
