Parents Of Cripp|es
Told 10 Keep Hope

Don't give up hope" was the
encouragement given last night by
DR.. Gusts Lee Hall, nationally
prominent orthopedic surgeon, to
the despairing parents of children
believably incurable of some Grip
pling disease or inherited deformity.
Problems of the so-called Grip
pied child" of whom it is estimated
there are at least 100000 known
cases in the United States, were
discussed by DR.. Hall in the second
Public Health Forum lecture at
Georgetown University. DR.. Hall,
who is associate professor of surgery
at George Washington University,
has performed an unusual public
service for crippled children in
Washington for many years through
the cooperation Of the Kiwanis
Club.
Causes of deformities are classified
in the congenital and acquired
groups, DR.. Hall explained, and in
either case indefinite years of pa
tient treatment and training are
sometimes necessary before cures
can be effected. Crippled condi-
tions acquired by disease, such as
infantile paralysis or inherited
spinal troubles were especially men
toned as frequently requiring long
time efforts on the part of the doctor
and the parents.
He cited the case of one child
lacking control over her muscles
who required 18 years to learn how
to walk without assistance. But
the important thing for parents to
remember, he stressed, was that she
eventually walked.
The automobile and the increas-
ing number of traffic accidents
were blamed by DR.. Hall for one
of the commonest causes OF Grip
pling conditions in children.
