PAGiE RIX tt THE MICHIGAN DAILY TilUiSDA , JAiN-CltRiY 22, 19-x __________________________ I I 1 i Dr. McKhann Predicts Polio Epidemie Here Paralysis Outbreak Is Due During 194243, Says Authority On Pediatrics Group Needs Funds An infantile paralysis outbreak is predicted for Michigan during 1942-. 43, by Dr. Charles McKhann chair- man of the Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Disease. The disease, characterized by de- generation of nerve structures and' resulting in paralysis and possible deformity, travels in this area in two or three year cycles. 1940 was an epidemic year and taxed state fa- cilities to the utmost. According to Dr. McKhann, "Polio has been in- creasing both in incidence and in the areas of the country involved for the past ten or twelve years." Funds Neededk These gloomy facts make clear the urgent need for raising funds for treatment of this prolonged and cost- ly disease. Fifty per cent of the money 'raised in each community goes to the National Foundationfor Infantile Paralysis, which uses this sum for the promotion of research. Recently the Foundation granted $40,000 to the University for the pur- pose of creating facilities to train virologists and study virus diseases. The other 50 per cent is retained lo- cally tonfinance cost of diagnosis treatment, equipment and educa- tional service for school-age patients. Efficiency of the, polio campaign is seen in the cost cf its administration -less than one per cent of the total intake. -. Contrary to custom, University stu- dents are not sponsoring their own infantile paralysis campaign this year, since the new examination schedule conflicts with the date of the drive. However, students will have ample opportunity to contribute through the local campaign. Coin Boxes Set Up To supplement the proceeds from a musicale scheduled Jan. 25 in the Hussey Room of the League and tag day on Jan. 31, coin boxes have been placed in all public buildings. Stu- dents may also send their "March of Dimes" donations to the committee office, 301 First National Bank Build- ing.
