Long Beach Lions Clubs Boost Polio Drive
Long Beach six Lions Clubs raised about $61500 for the March of Dimes in a special polio edition sale of the Press Telegram. Co chairs Phil Hattery and Pat Rafferty report more receipts as remaining clubs finalize reports. The effort supports a $100000 goal with initial responses from 60000 returnable coin containers. Public drives include a mile of dimes event on Pine Avenue and an iron lung speaker from Signal Hill American Legion. Mothers March on Polio planned for Jan 31 with city wide canvass led by the Junior Ebell Club and 301 Enloe Building headquarters.
