ROOSEVELT PLANS NEW CRIPPLE CURE
New York Governor, Sufferer
 Himself, Would Aid Others

Warm Springs, Ga, AprD II. - When medical authorities tell you that half of the nations SO0,000 cripplcs can blame their affliction on infan'lle paralysis you realize then what it means,
 This explains thc thrcc-year cX. pertinent here that Governor Frank lin D. Roosevelt of New York, him. self crippled by the dread malady, now hopes to spread throughout the | nitcd States. The Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, hitherto prl- yatcly financed by Governor RoosC- welt and a few public-spirltcG friends, is now seeking s1,250,0 ,0oo 10 expand and p6rmanizo the work.
 Swimming back 10 hcalth,' as the unique treatment has been de- scrihcd, is the method. Crippled patients here spend hours each day in a modern swimming pool, exercising lageard , muscles under the expert guidance of r pretty girls in bathing suits who have been trained as physiothcrapists.
 Governor Roosevelt has not found a cure for infantilc par 'lysis. or poliomyclitis as the doe tors call if. Medical science knows no cure. But he has found

cost basis, money for capital in- vestment having been donated by the governor and his friends.
 Today Warm Springs has 100 patients, representing A states. There are three large concrete swimming pools. One of these, en- closed for winter use, was donat- ed by Mr and Mrs. Edsel Ford.
 In Pine Forest
 The grounds cover 1,20o acres in a Georgia pine forest. In the center stands the 5O-year- old Warm Springs Inn now thor oughly modernized Il is used as a hotel, general dining hall and headquarters building. Around it arc numerous cottages where pa tients may have their own homes.
 Each morning a bus makes the round of the community and takes the crippled patients to the three connecting pools. Some of them have 10 be lifted in and out by at tendants; others hobble about on
 
 Attired in bothing suits, the pa tients enter the pools and cling to bars on the side or lie on undet- water tables. There they take care fully prescribed exercises under the guidance of the girl physiothor- apists who enter the water with them. Maybe a dcadcncd leg or arm will be wiGgled in a certain way time and time again to revive a certain musclc-apd usually the muscles improves.
 Many Unusual Cases

are in the majority. Its sym mptoms resemble those of influenza.
 The germ is contracted through the mouth or nose. Entering the blood stream. it passes to the spinal cord and there causes inflammation and swelling which deaden the nerves controlling certain muscles. In a short time the disease itself passes, but leaves in its wake a cripple.
 Nobody at Warm Springs has in- fintiie paralysis new" says Arthur Carpenter, business manager They have already had it. Except for be- ing crippled, they are as healthy as anybody else"

way to help the cripples that the disease leaves in it's wake of putting new life into deadened nerves and warped muscles.
 Water Naturally Warm
 Warm Springs is thus known because of natural spring that supplies I steady stream Of water at So degrees. Winter or sum- mcr, it is always the same.
 For many years it was popu- lar summer resort. famous for its cver-tepid swimming pool. There were reports, too. that this water heated by underground sources possessed curative values for rheumatism and the like.
 A report of this kind from George Poster Peabody, former resident of Columbus. Ga, led Roosevelt 10 Warm Springs to seek reli"f from his own condition. Pea body told him of a Columbus boy. crippled by infantile paralysis, who had been made well by bathing in the warm water.
 Foundation Is Formed
 Roosevelt went to Warm Springs in 1924 and 1925. each time spending several weeks eXer- cising and swimming in the pool. Impressed by his own improve ment. he decided 10 conduct eN- pcrimcntal work under expert medical supervision. pr. LcRoy T. Hubbard. an orthopedic surgeon for tho New York State Board Of Health. was engaged.
 Results with carly patients were gratifying and in July 1927, Governor Roosevelt formed the Warm Springs Foundation and took over the property. Prccluded by its charter from earning q profit, it has since operated on. a

 The buoyancy of the water makes it possible to exercise for a longer time without getting tired, iNloatins legs and arms are not so heavy for weak muscles to lift.
 While the natural warm water at Warm Springs apparently has cer- tain natural advantages, Governor Roosevelt believes that similar re- sorts could operate successfully with artiGcially heated water. In this lies the hope that others will follow in various parts Of the coun- try thus making the unique treat mcnt available to thousands of cripplcs.
 Rooseyclt's Own Case
 Governor Eooseyelt's case is like those of many others. At 40. ap- parcntly in the prime of life, he was stricken by sudden attack of infantilc paralysis in 1921. shortly after concluding his vigorous cam paign as the Democratic nominee for the vice presidency. Helpless for many months, he is now able to walk with the cane and leg brace.
 Few, if any. complete cures are effected because Warm Springs per- forms no miracles. But usually marked improvement is registered and quite often a patient who ar rived on a strctcher or in a wheel chair departs with the mere aid of q cane.

PIN LEAGUE

For many reasons ducKpln
bowling has never been profit
able during the summer months.

Tad Howard, noted for his
many years of pioneer work in
the duckpin game, is certain that
he can successfully organize and
run a summer league for his
Rendezvous establishment.
He has already interested SIX
teams and is on the trail OF two
others. The league is expected to
open it's season next Tuesday
night.
The Rendezvous drives are
ideally equipped for summer

He worked two rounds each with
Johnny Crosse and Paul Cavalier,
using a short uppercut and a left
hook handily. He also boxed one
round with King Solomon and
Solomon'S grunting as the hard
punches registered produced some
convincing sound effects.

DIAMOND TITLE

Eastern continued its monopoly
of the high school baseball cham
pionship by annexing the title for
the third straight time by trim
ming Business. the last obstacle
in it's path, 13 to 6.
Solid and sustained hitting plus
some keen pitching by Dick Lam
ahan stood out in the Eastern
victory. Seventeen base hits we're
collected by the winners. McCul-
Tough and Snyder leading the
attack with four apiece. Lana
han himself also took a leading
part in the offense by banging
out a double and homer, the Cir
cult blow coming with Hayden
on base.
Spencer Chase attempted
the job of halting the Eastern
attack but gave way to Sill
Verman after five innings.
During his tenure of the hill
Chase was reached for runs
and IL hits. Neither Silver
man nor Garner, his reneI,
could slow down the Eastern
attack.
Although the score was I3 to
3 against them as they came to
bat in the last half of the ninth
the Stenogs put on a fighting
finish that caused a mild stir
With the bases filled and none
out Frat sent home two of the
runners with a timely single.
Then Ben Mccullough started a
double play and Lanahan famed
Silverman for the third out to
end the uprising.
Eastern still has one game left
to play, meeting Western next
Wednesday, but the outcome of
this game will have no bearing
on the title.
