UNIQUE BATTLE WILL BE WACED
 ON PARALYSIS
Doctor Explains What Work Will Be Done with Funds
 from Birth day Ball
(Continued from Page One)


 Thousands of children have been diagnosed to have Summer com plaint, then suddenly become par alyzed, and are then irreparably de- formed before the proper physiologi- cal rest treatment can be applied to them. Now, by examination of the spinal fluid, the disease can be diagnosed before paralysis sets in. and by prompt, skilled application of casts and splints to the para lyzed limbs, all those twisting de- formities, now the aftermath in thousands of cases can be pre- vented
 But our rank -and-file doctors, who are the front-line fighters of the plague, must be taught this quick diagnosis and treatment, and the foundation plans to make this possible on a nationwide scale, by financially aiding the experts to teach this knowledge-through some body like the American Academy of Orthopedics of the American Medi- cal Associa tion.

Unexpected Support
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Prospects for enactment of a reasonable Federal wage -and-hour law have greatly improved since the House at the do-nothing special session of Congress defeated the Black -Connery measure Most sgnifi- cant is the action of the southeastern governors conference which indorses in principle the presi- dents request for the establishment by Federal legs ation of "a floor for wages and ceiling for hours.
 These governors came from the states where much of the strongest opposition to Federal wage hour legislation has been centered-Aabama Georgia Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee and North and South Carolina It the opposition of Democratic rep resentatives from these states which finally stalled the Administrations drive to get wage-hour legisla- tion through the special session.
 The governors, to be sure have not ndorsed the Black -Connery measure, which open to many valid objections But their declaration in favor of the principle of such regulation may fairly be taken indicating that they reflect the sentiment in their states accurately than do some of the con- gressonal representatives For it will be recalled that recent poll of the American Institute of Public Opinion showed majority in every state including the south, strongly in favor of Federal control of wages and hours
 Also indicative of changing southern sentiment is the decisive victory of Representative Lister Hill J. Thomas Hefin in the recent senatorial primary in Alabama. Hill worked for wage-hour legislation in Congress, and campaigned for it on the hustings His fellow Alabamans gave him to 1 indorsement
 The southeastern governors and such legislators Hill recognize that excessively low wages are in the long run detriment to any community.

To the Editor:
On Sunday, December 3rd, was
privileged through the courtesy of
friend to attend service at Plank
Chapel my home church. The entire
service was fine and deeply spiritual
but the special feature that warmed
my heart was the manner in which
the communion service was conducted
1t was the first time I'd seen it after
this fashion. but it was all SO right
and proper. Plank Chapel, of long
history, is notably for the attention
that is paid to the youth of the con-
gregation as for example, as the
classes reassemble in the auditorium
after Church School the primary,
Junior and Intermediates march to
reserved seats on one side of the
church, filling about third of the left
section; the Seniors and Young Peo-
pies division largely make up the
choir.
When communicates were invited

of the church from primary, and Jun
