 knew that sitting stretches tho hip muscle, as standing does not; he had been trained to believe that even one little sip might do some harm
 Tt is not the equipment but the choice of suitable exercises and the technique of giving them that constitute efficient treatment ot paralySed muscles" she said. "The importance of teaching patient and family the details of 0gthcpedic care cannot be stressed too much. This must be done in terms the family can understand. When the principles of orthopedic care are carried out twenty-four hours . day with the same care with which sur gical asepSis is practiced-thea we shall have given muscles Q chance, Non-support of weak muscles even for . few minutes is Ike fiogging the defenseless,"
 MORALE
 IS VITAL
 It Is the function of the public health nurse who cares for ortElo. pedic patients to help build up morale among patients and their families, too. The nurse must help plan a program of mental activity for the early months, of physical activity for the later years. A col1le plete program for the care of the convalescent infantile paralysis suf- Herer must include education. vo. cational guidance, training and placement.
 Without social adjustment of patient and family, none ot thts program can be effective. A suffic- tent number of public health nurses working in this field would mean more use of community resources by the handicapped and eventually more resources themselves.
 Miss Stevenson said that this grant from the National Founda- ton for InSantile Paralysis will make . great contribution toward the ful- fillment of a long-Selt need--the need for more well.equipped nurses to fight in the front line against the detorsnities resulting from intantaie paralysis.
