Last year Washtenaw County contributions ran 21 cents per per- son for the county, Mrs. Hickman Price, chairman of the Infantile Paralysis Foundation announced.- One half of this money, $8,869, was kept by the county foundation for treating county polio cases, while the remaining half went to the National Infantile Paralysis Foun- dation for research, epidemic aid and education. 21 Cases Twenty - one new poliomyelitis cases were cared for by the county during the past year in addition to cases carried over from the pre- seeding year. Eight of these cases were hron Ann Arbor, seven from Ypsilanti, three from Milan, and one each from Northville, Horseshoe Lake, and Willow Run. "The cost of treating these new cases as well as continuing the treatment of old cases will eat away most of the surplus from previous years," according to Miss Dorothy Ketcham, secretary of the county chapter. Reserve Dwhidles "The Foundation's reserve fund is nearly depleted so that the need for contributions is more urgent than before," Miss Ketcham said. The National Foundation is al-. so badly in need since it's $4,000,- 000 epidemtc fund was nearly wip- ed out last November by the worst epidemic in the Foundation's his- tory. Miss Ketcham explained that Washtenaw County has a forward looking policy conerning polio cases. Each person with a polio disorder, adult or child, has been offered immediate assistance. Sev- eral cases have received not only hospitalization in acute periods, but have had long periods of con- valescent care and subsequent re- peated re-examinations to sustain progress. After Discharge, Too The Foundation keeps tabs on it's patients after they are dis- charged from the convalescent hospitals, Miss Ketcham pointed out, but they are not required to repay the Foundation for it's ser- vice. "We do, of course, take dona- tions from those who wish to give - them, but there is no compulsion about it. We will aid anyone stricken, regardless of race, color, creed or "financial status.", One University student has been treated this year. at the Univer- sity Hospitat and two sons of stu- dents living in Willow Rtun.
