Scope and content
The United States was experiencing an increase in victims of infantile paralysis; it was believed that 1949 would have the most reported polio cases in history since 1916. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was asking everyone to contribute in their special fund raising drive that was about to be launched. In January 1949, the March of Dimes had their annual fund raising drive. View of three children playing with cats, the little girl on the left side is wearing an orthopedic arm brace.
