Unless immediate assistance is given
the Throop Avenue Dispensary 70,
Crippled Children in Brooklyn will be
forced to clore Its doors to more than
500 victims Of the infantile paralysis
epidemic Of 1916, who now are enter

According to Mrs. Genevieve B. Earle
chairman Of the dispensary's board OF

treasury to meet the next two pay

The financial condition Of the dis

upon former contributors by the vari

This has ca,sed subscriptions to be GU,

The message, signed by State Super

which he fostered that labor would re-
