Euery Day 'fChild Health Day" atNe1Uington Home Miss Constance Leigh, Superintendent of Institu-
 ton for Crippled Children Explains Rehabili- | tation Work-Favors Early Immunization

"Every day is Child Health Day with Us at the, ,Newington Home for Crippled Children" replied Miss Constance Leigh, superintendent of the home, when asked to what de- gree Newington Home finds it pos- sible to respond to the urgent request of President Roosevelt and of Governor Hurley that all chil- dren over nine months of age be immunized against diphtheria and smallpox during the month of May as @ feature of Child Health Month Observance.
 Tn fact, so strongly do we advo- cate such iinmunizatiof1," continued Miss Leigh, it is our routine pro- cedure at the Newington Home to see that all children admitted to the home as resident patients are SC immunized. Responsible as we are for so many crippled and handi- capped children, we are always eager to make use of every scien- tifically proved measure and method available in safeguarding and help ing the patients in our care."
 Asked what other preventive measures are in use at the Newing- ton Home, Miss Leigh said: "1n a sense, of course, our whole program is preventive, preventive of lifelong handicaps and sufferings for tht persons who come to us as crippled children. Perhaps Q brief summary of the chief preventive measures might be made as follows:
 Simple Measures:
 "Certain very cimple preventive measures - measures such as might well be available for all children and adults, too are in constant use at the Newington Home as part of our whole program of child care Day in and day out, winter and summer. night and day, we use quantities of fresh air, and- sum shine as freely as Connecticut can provide. with vast amounts of vita-

the early onset of the difficulty.
 At all stages of treatment, of course, close attention is given to | improvement and muscle changes. Guided by and supplementing our surgical work, our highly trained physical therapy technicians carry OH their very effective work of muscle re-education and training.
 Orthopaedic Appliances
 Correct orthopaedic appliances have their tremendously important place in the prevention of further deformities as well as in giving nec- eSsary support to overcome existing handicaps. Immensely valuable in our program is the close cooperation of our trained and experienced worknen who, after careful study and measurements of individual needs, make in our shop here at the Newington Home the mechanical ap- plianceS such as orthopaedic shoes, braces, and splints required for each patient through the stages of his treatment.
 By these varied measures do we strive to prevent and to lesson as well as to remove the physical han dicaps put by accident or illness upon the crippled children of Con- necticut, even while we endeayor to help them in so far as possible to develop strong, sound bodies.
 Other Measures
 But that is not all our task There are still other things we must prevent. Unwholesome mental atti- tude and morbid introSpection-both Sd easy to acquire in long months or years Of restricted actiyity-can be a bitter handicap in life, and lack of sound, practical education can limit and restrict in every phase of life.
 Thus, in addition to our whole physical program we are very zeal olls in our educational and charac- ter-building program. Many of these children must remain with us for years; others come to us for shorter intervals over a period of years. Whatever the length of their stay with us, we provide carefully or- ganized varied program of sound, practical education which will en- able them to participate with cour- age and self-confidence in the &C., tiyities of their group wherever they are. We strive to develop the sturdy character which vii lenable each in- diyidual to merit and to accept the responsibilities that good citizenship and personal satisfaction demand Of each, particularly as they return to their own homes and communities. To develop sound bodies. to stimulate keen minds, and to build strong character which will enable each tn- children can meet with courage and self-confidence the day-by-day de- malids life will put upon them, now and as they make their future ad- justments, Is our earnest, upsWerV- ing purpose.
 Because of our steady, driving effort to strengthen and safeguard the crippled children of Connecticut and to prevent any and everything which might add to their burdens, we hope we are justified in saying Every day is "Child Health Day" at NeWington Home. !"

Racial Prejudice Denied
In Tournament Protest

William J. Smith, president of the
Southeast Council Of Citizens As
sociations, denied last night that the
protest against a Negro national golf
tournament August 1921 on the
Anacostia Park Golf Course was
based on racial ground. The state
ment came after Secretary Ickes
yesterday refused to rescind the
tournament permit.
'"The council would have opposed
an exclusive permit to a group of
white players" President Smith
said. adding that "the Southeast
Council exceedingly regrets that
Secretary Ickes has made an issue of
alleged racial discrimination in his
reply to the resolution adopted by
the council"
He emphasized that the Anacostia
Course Is needed for the greatly
increased population, mostly white,
as we'll as soldiers in adjacent areas,
for their own recreational purposes.
Secretary Ickes in his ruling had
said that Ito deny the use of these
public facilities to any group of
persons because of their race or
color would be an act OF discrimin-
alton" Mr. Smith last night said
Mr.. Ickes' ruling "in effect Is a
discrimination against white play
ers."

ment, It was suggested that public

For this reason the movement in
