Rotarians Hear
Report On
Hospital
Crippled Adults
Hospital Does
Great Work

ID. f. Richardson, executive officer
Of the Crippled Adults Hospital at
1248 LaPaloma Avenue, Memphis,
spoke to members Of the Durant Ro-
tary Club at their meeting Tuesday
in the private dining room of the
California Cafe.
Mr.. Richardson spoke e%loquently
of the work being accomplished by
the hospital which is sponsored and
supported entirely by members of
the various Rotary Clubs in Che tri-
states of Tennessee, Arkansas and
Mississippi.
The hospital cares for crippled
adults recommended by Rotary Clubs
who otherwise would not be able to
pay for medical care. 1t is the only
hospital of it's kind in existence in
that it cares for crippled adults. No
other agency cares for crippled ad-
ults. The Federal government makes
appropriations under the Social Sec
urity laws passed in 1885 matching
funds expended by state and local
gONcTflItieILS 10 care IOT CTlpplcu
children, the blind and other INDECENT
sick. But there is absolutely no ag-
ency in the United States to care for
crippled adults.
Mr.. Richardson urged that mem
bers Of the local club undertake an
educational campaign to acquaint the
public with the work being accomp-
lished by the hospital and to bring to
the attention of local Rotary men,-
bers any needy crippled adult in
Holmes county, He said by doing this
we can look to a future where Grip
pied adults will be provided for the
same as crippled children, the deaf
and dumb and blind and other in
digent people.
Present also was Frank Travis,
McComb, who had both legs broken
in a highway accident in Pike coun-
ty in 1886. MI. Travis told how he
had exhausted his funds in other to
try to be well before he was taken
as a patient in the Crippled Adults
Hospital at Memphis. He spoke feel

accomplished for him and said that
