The celebration of th Presidents
Birthday, and allied activities
such as the Parch of P’imes, are
held in January of each year, for
the raising of funds to maintain
national End Local activities.
This work has taken quite a little
tine to develop the program of thu
Foundation, its ~crk and the
problems are not unlike those
involved in the actual -sr on the
actual front. Obviously the vise
thing to do in any such situation
is first to reconnoiter the vhole
front, and find out exactly where
it lies and wherein are its vea-k
md" strong sgcts, this the Foun
d, tion has been doing.
The Foundation is aiding doctors
and scientists v;ho are trying
£o find out the secret of the
mysterious virus which causes
Infantile Paralysis, hov it enters
the body and ho'v it cm be hilled..
The Foundation is preparing to
meet and is meeting outbreaks of
opidem'csv with every known means
of combating the dreaded monster.
In the field of after effects,
the Foundation faces many serious
problems. Thousands of cases of
crippled individuals all over the
country are Grim evidence of the
toll th£t infantile rarc lysis
takes. These crippled children rrd
adults need braces- casts
crutches- hospitalization and
special cme. There is need for
doctors with special training, end
who arc skilled in caring for
such coses. \.e must'keep in reserve
a. reservoir of funds, fmmunition to
be used when an epidemic strikes.
Remember Infantile Paralysis strikes
without warning, he must also do
everything v,'ey.can to help those
'"ho have noun crippled, so that
they can be self supporting -nd
lead normal lives. I rn asking the
people of the hat rusks. Valley ard
surrounding districts to come out
to the Pre-sidon -s Ball January 27.
