["Portable Polio Heaters From Magazine Subscriptions." Anoka Union 01 Apr. 1947: Print.]

The Edward B. Cutter Post No.102 of the American Legion announced this week that proceeds from its annual sale of magazines subscriptions will be used to raise funds for the purchase of several new portable Vollrath Polio-Pak heaters. These heaters are specially designed to produce hot packs for the Kenny method of treating infantile paralysis victims, and are equally efficient in preparing hot packs for the treatment of infections, arthritis, neuralgia, etc.

When purchased, the heaters will be stored in the offices of the American Legion Post where they will be readily available for use when needed. The units are being purchased by Legion posts in Anoka as well as Princeton, Osseo, Robbinsdale, Forest lake, White Bear, North Branch, Cambridge, Pine City and Onamia. There is no charge for the use of these polio-paks.
The plan will be explained in detail by members of the American Legion Edward B. Cutter Post, when magazine subscriptions are solicited. Each solicitor will have a letter of identification signed by the officers of the Anoka Legion Post.
