TEXANS RALLY
AGAINST POLIO
AUSTIN, Jan. If..—A proud
state is marshalling its resources
a Texas this week swing:- into
step with the lUfil March of
I times.
The annual drive for money to
fight sinister infantile paralysis
was begun with unusual deter-
mination because Texas has been
compromised while being hit hard-
er than most states.
Kd S. Stewart of Abilene, state
March of Dime.- chairman, -aid
advance report- indicated that
Texans "will eagerly meet their
obligations in thi- Humanitarian
effort."
The Texa quota of $2,500,000
1 - the minimum needed, Stewart
said. A huge deficit developed
from the state's record number
of cases the last years. During
thi- calamitous period, Texas re-
ceived almost $400,000 in outside
a istai.ee through the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis.
"There is a limit to what the
layman can do in directly com-
batting this terrible disease," said
Stewart. "Hut there is no limit
in what Texans can do now to
put over the March of Dimes. If
I know my fellow Texans, this
i- one opportunity to help >.hey
will not pass up."
St. wart went on to say that
tht ravages uf polio, marked by
almost 2K00 cases in Texas in
11)60 alone, "has stirred our peo-
ple." "The money they provide
now," he continued, "is neces.-ary
for polio patients care, and,
equally important, it is needed to
finance research into the cause
and cure of polio."
While volunteer workers hustl-
ed 011 the local level to clinch the
March of Dimes cash objective,
Governor Allan Shivers stood by
on the state level to help where
possible. The state government
effort is concentrated behind a
-penal "Fight Polio Committee,"
appointed by the Chief Executive.
The March of Dimes continues
through January 31.

Dr. MeMahan, "and the Vetera

ans whose term insurance is about

have a question about the $2,500
per year income limitation which
applies to me as I have depend-

come for 1950 or 1951?
A. The check must be applied
to y 1 iir 1950 income. The general
rub- is that acceptance of a check
results in income in the year it
is received, even though it is
cashed later.
(J I obtained National Service
Life Insurance while disabled as
the result of military service, and
the requirement of good health
wa- waived in my case. Am I eli-
gible for the special dividend to be
paid in 1951?
A No. Insurance granted or re-
instated on the lives of disabled
veterans—where the good health
requirement was waived because
of disabilities incurred in or ag-
gravated by service—is adminis-
tered separately as nonparticipat-
inc insurance, with no rutht to
dividends.
