Cuero becomes one of the un-
fortunate communities in the
state where -polio has stricken
one—or many—of its children.
The names of the block
chairmen will be listed in this
newspaper, along with the
amount ‘ collected through
their block canvass. Of course,
it is realized that many Cue-
ro residents already have gen-
erously contributed to the
DDT fund through their or-
ganizations, service clubs or
individually, but this cam-
paign will give everyone liv-
ing within the city an oppor-
tunity to have a financial
stake in the future health and
happiness of the town and its
people.
As the Dollars for Dusting
fund neared the initial quota
set at $450 for the purchase
of chemicals for the air spray-
ing portion of the anti-pc’io
campaign, the suggestion has
been made on the part of sev-
eral persons that the National
Guard airplanes, which have
been offered without cost to
the city for the spraying job,
are too fast thoroughly to cov-
er the city. Cuero’s 3,000
acres could be covered rapidly,
it is admitted, by a fast flying
fighter plane, but it is believed
a slower, smaller type of plane
—such as was used at Gonzal-
es and Yorktown—would do
the spraying much more ef-
fectively, and in the long run
the donors to the Dollars for
Dusting fund would receive
much more in return for their
contribution.
But the air spray is only the
beginning in the anti-polio
fight, authorities tell us.
