THE cMARCH OF DIMEb GO'S ON
March Of Dimes
Seventy-eight Alaska children
are on the waiting list, for treat
ment under the crippled child
ren’s program of the Territory,
and because of this fact half of
the funds raised in the Ma’ch of
Dimes program will be retained
in Alaska for crippled children
work.
Last year half of the funds
were turned over to Public
Heath Nurse Marion Curtis, but
because of this special need Miss
Curtis said this year the funds
will be diverted to crippled child
ren’s use. She also pointed out
that handling the funds in this
manner will double the money
available as the Federal govern
ment will match the monej’ rais
ed, dollar for dollar. There is a
large Federal fund going beg
I ging, she said, because the Terri
tory has not been able to raise
the necessary money to be so
matched.
In connection with the March
of Dimes drive Manager F.
MacDonald of the Lyric theatre
has arranged for the presentation
of Nurse Curtis in a brief talk at
the theatre Sunday evening,
where she will describe the work
done in the past for Alaska child
ren. At present there are 2 Kodi
ak children whose treatment is
made possible by the crippled
children program.
A collection will be taken up
following her talk to augment
the funds being gathered
throughout town in collection
bottles. Mayor 0. A. Torgerson
said the bottles will remain out
until the middle of the month.
