DOWN BUT FAR FROM OUT is Mrs. Mar
garet Stoner, Bethesda, one of the 100 polio
patients who depend on the Montgomery
County Chapter of the National Foundation
for aid. Most of the salary of nurse Beulah

Cost of One Polio
Patient: $30,000
Her thin right arm sus
pended in a home - made
swing-pulley, the woman in
bed cautiously transferred a
morsel of food from a dish
to her mouth in a plastic
spoon.
This simple feat and the daily
miracle of being able to
finger enough to turn pages in
a book are the sum total of prog
ress back toward normality
achieved by polio victim Mrs.
Margaret Stoner, of 1008 Crest
wood rd., Kensington.
It has been almost exactly six
years since Mrs. Stoner, 34, con
tracted poliomyelitis. Since that
time more than $30,000 has been
spent on her recovery, minor as
it may seem to be.
She and her husband, Dan
Stoner, are quick to agree that
even the slight progress she has
shown —as a matter of fact, even
that she survived—is almost en
tirely because of the local chap
ter of the National Foundation,
and the March of Dimes.
The Stoners make a small
contribution monthly toward the
six-day, all-day nursing care and
special equipment Mrs. Stoner
uses. But the $30,000-plus has ail
come from the coffers of the
local and national foundation.

so Mrs. Stoner can turn pages of a book) is
paid by the local chapter w'hich now finds
itself over S7OOO in debt and faced with S4OOO
outlay each month for the care of convales
cent patients. The chapter will start an
emergency fund drive August 15.— Staff Photo.
“We simply couldn’t have made
it without the Foundation,” Mrs.
Stoner said.
But now it looks like the local
chapter can’t make it without
the help of the community.
David Macdonald, president of
the Montgomery County chapter
of the Foundation, will start an
emergency fund drive the 15th
of this month, hoping to erase
a S7OOO deficit incurred for
treatment of patients like Mrs.
Stoner.
The chest respirator she uses
at night, for instance, cost S3OOO
of Foundation money, and it
needs constant maintenance.
Care of patients costs the lo
cal chapter about S4OOO a month,
Macdonald said. The local Chap
ter is in a spot because the Na
tional Foundation has helped as
much as it could already this
year.
All of the money collected in
the emergency, door-to-door
fund campaign will go directly
to the local Chapter. Part of the
annual March of Dimes Crusade
goes to the National organiza
tion, but this will not be the case
in the local drive.
Like approximately 100 pa
tients being cared for by the
Montgomery County Chapter,
Mrs. Stoner cannot see any les
sening of her need for continu-
ing care. Nursing she cannot
afford on her husband’s salary
as an office manager.
‘ Macdonald explained that
many people seem to think that
the relatively new Salk vaccine
has greatly cut down the needs
of the Foundation chapters.
“What they don’t realize is that
scores of our patients con
tracted polio before Salk vac
cine—like Mrs. Stoner—and no
amount of serum is going to do
these people any good. We have
to help them but we can’t do it
without community support,” he
said.
The day may come, Macdon
ald said, when future genera
tions will be free from the dread
crippler. But meanwhile, he said,
the community cannot discount
its responsibility toward the
luckless ones for whom the fu
ture came too late.

cent years, she has made her
home with her brother-in-law
and sister, Mr. and Mrs. B. O.

It's Hazardous!
Are You a Superman?
The Show-Off Type?
Men, are showoffs.
And besides, most guys are
would-be supermen.
These observations come,
strangely enough, from a mem
ber of the so-called stronger sex
—Thomas Fansler.
In support of his opinions,
Fansler, director of the home
division of the National Safety
Council, cites such facts as
these:
Seven out of 10 persons who
die in accidents are males
• Males are killed more often
than females in accidents in
volving motor vehicles, fires,
drownings, firearms, railroads,
poison gases and poisons.
“In a recent year,” Fansler
pointed out, “men were killed
three times more often in motor
vehicle accidents than women.
Thirty years ago, the average
white female lived about three
years longer than the average
white male. Today she can ex
pect to outlive her man by more
than six years.
A big reason for this, accord
ing to Fansler: Women are
more careful working and play
ing than men.
“If there’s a hazardous job to
be done around the house,"
Fansler explained, “the man
does it. Besides, men’s jobs in
volve more hazardous tools.
“And men so often are show
offs.”
Solution to the problem? The
little woman.
