CRIPPLED SURVEY
BEING STIMULATED
Interest of Roosevelt in
Children Throws Light
on u. S. Needs.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A new national picture of the needs
Of crippled children is taking shape
in the light of President Roosevelt's
interest in the subject, an interest
which the crippled children return
because of the Presidents personal
triumph over infantile paralysis.
Surveys In many States have been
stimulated. There has now been some
actual counting Of noses Of crippled
boys and girls, and tallying OF what
Is being done for them.
Due to depression's toll on all char
table activities, the results of even
these scattered censuses are said to
have been sufficiently startling to
merit some special attention by Con-
gress next Winter when 1t begins
working on the social welfare front.
Certainly this newly developed case
of the crippled child will be presented
TO the Committee on Economic Sc
curity.
New Opportunity Seen.
Some welfare workers are optimistic
enough to prophesy the crippled chill
dren of this modern Pied Piper's tale
will thus find a door of new oppor-
tunity opening for them.
Wherever the President goes, Grip
piled children come to him. Mrs.
Roosevelt, too, is their magnet. And
o steady stream report by mail.
An excerpt from a typical letter,
slightly misspelled and with an origi-
nal use of punctuation from teen
age Mississippi boy follows:
II had paralysis nine years ago,
which left my spine curved and it
caused my left shoulder to grow high,
and my ribs are growing crooked. I
had some treatment three years ago
which the State of Mississippi paid
for. Now the State is not able to take
care of its crippled patients and I
kneed to 60 back to the hospital for
more treatement. But I am not able
on account of money so this is the
reason I am writing to you. my father
has always been a deep Democrat)
am not exaggerating either.
"P. S. have heard that the
(F. e. r. A. was to help cripple
peolpes but I have never drawn any"
Federal Funds Lacking.
The Mississippi lad was misin-
formed. Federal relief funds have
been restricted to furnishing food,
clothes, fuel, emergency medical re-
lief. No Federal funds have been
available for disqualification. braces or
wheel chairs.
The cripples case still rests with
local benevolence.
However, each time such letter
arrives in the Presidents correspond
ence, it is Immediately referred to
the local agency most likely to be able
to aid him. These Samaritans-State
agencies, American Legion, Elks,
medical societies, welfare gronps-
make remarkable roll of honor.

New Plan To Build Up
Feed, Forage Stocks

To build up the nations live stock
feed and forage supplies, the agricul-
tural adjustment administration has
decided to permit wheat farmers who
have Joined the AAA production con-
troll program to plant forage crops on
their contracted acreage in 1885.
They were allowed to do so this
year and administration officials be-
lieve that a continuation of the prac-
tice will provide additional insurance
against feed shortages if there is a
drouth next year. This contract land
totals about 100000 acres.
The farm administration said the
action meant, for cooperating farm
ers, that one-third of the land which
they did not plant in 1884 under the
terms of their contract could be plant
ed back in wheat for 1885 and that
the other two-thirds could be used
again for growing live stock feed.

Home Owners And
Business Alike
Will All Benefit
National Housing Act Makes 1t
Easy For Property Owners To
Make Needed Repairs

Home owners, labor and business
of all kinds will benefit by the new
billion and half dollar National
Housing Act which now makes it easy
for property owners to make needed
repairs which they hitherto may have
felt unable to make, according to a
statement today by Lee j. Etelson of
the Lee Lumber & Supply Company,
Taking advantage of the opportunity
for modernization and repairs afford
ed by this new law will give owners
improvements at low cost, provided
employment, take men off relief rolls
and benefit everyone" Mr.. Etelson
said.
"There are some 16 million homes
in the United States in need of re-
pairs" he reported. "In our own COM
munity we have many homes which
need improvements of one kind or
another. Owners have delayed making
them because of lack of funds or diff
Guilty of making loans under depressed
conditions. This work can now go
ahead. Straight character loans with
out mortgage or collateral, insured
by the United States government, will
now be made by local private banks
or other financial institutions on long
time and at low rate of interest
These loans which are insured by the
United States government can be
made for various amounts up to a
maximum of $4,000 and can be repaid
in easy installments. They can be
made not only on homes but also or
business and other structures provided
ing part of the structure is used for
residential purposes.
"The work of developing this pro-
gram is being intrusted to a local
committee in each community. This
committee will make house-to-house
canvass, spot Improvements that
should be made and show owners the
advantages of going ahead with them
at this time. Appointment of local
committee and Inauguration of the
plan will enable local people to obtain
money on easy terms to do repair and
modernization work. The plan will
substitute employment for doles, in
crease purchasing power and favor
ably affect every resident. Hearty
cooperation by everyone behind this
plan will produce the largest benefits
for the community as whole and fol
the people who live in it."
