A Bit of Old Iowa for Christmas I JJ 5 NAME KEYSER TO HEAD DRIVE E. Lee Keyser, Des Moines area war manpower commissioner, Thursday was named Iowa chairman of the annual March of Dimes campaign against infantile paralysis. Keyser was appointed by Basil O'Connor, New York, N. president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The drive will begin officially Jan.

14 and continue through Jan. 31, but Keyser reported that in many Iowa counties, donations already were being received by the county chairmen. President's Birthday. In some counties of the state, Keyser said. President Roosevelt's birthday will be celebrated again this year in connection with the fund drive, while many counties will rely solely on solicitation.

The drive last year raised $117,000 in Iowa for combatting the disease, of which one-half was left in the county where it was donated, Keyser said. These local funds are for immediate use for hospitalization, buying of braces, or similar purposes. Funds Return. Of the money sent to the national foundation, Keyser said, much comes back to the state for research. He estimated that $45, 000 has been granted the State University of Iowa at Iowa City, including $5,000 in 1944.

The na tional foundation is able to re- i port administrative and all other expenses at less than 1 per cent, Keyser said, with more than 99 per cent of all donations used for i combatting the disease. i Dimes sent to the president, a popular method of donating in the past, are divided in the same proportion as local collections, Keyser said, one-half of the total being returned by the natiolal foundation to the county where it originated.
