February 25, 1954
Lassen county residents donated more than $10,000 in the March of Dimes drive, Mrs. Frank Murrillo, county chairman, announced. With contributions still pouring in, the total may easily top the $10,000 mark for Susanville alone.
Mrs. Murillo listed funds raised through the several programs of the March as: $240.15 from basketball games. $367.41 from the Cindercone dance and supper $2,136.73 from the mother’s march in Susanville and the Valley: $783.25 from the mothers’ march in Westwood; $4,445.10 from the 20-30 Club radio auction and approximately $2,200 in donations from individuals, schools, clubs and organizations.
Still to be collected and counted are ‘the donations placed in March of Dimes canisters all over the country and cards coming in through the mail and the contributions from Bieber and Herlong.
