Elks Cerebral Palsy Week Sep!. 4-9
Cerebral Palsy Week, Sept. 4-9,
sponsored by the Alaska State Elks
Association, points up the great
work this organization is doing in
caring for more than 300 children
yearly who are afflicted with dam
aged muscles, muscular ailments
that prevent the proper use of
arms or legs.
The Alaska Elks Cerebral Palsy
Commission maintains a full-time
physical therapist in Southeastern
Alaska, another in the Alaska Crip
pled Children’s Association Treat
ment Center in Anchorage, a part
time therapist in Fairbanks, and
a full-time supervisor who also car
ries a heavy program of actual
treatments travelling over the high
ways, railbelt and airways.
Kodiak, too, is visited regularly
by the therapist, with about thirty
active cases here.
A minimum of $5 is being sought
from each member of the Elks
Lodge in Alaska during CP week
for the cause.
The Alaska Elks program to as
sist cerebral palsy victims has
boomed. It not only provides
treatment at home and in commun
ity centers for the cerebral palsied,
but also extends its aid to three
times as many children suffering
from polio or other orthopedic dis
abilities.
