Rotary Club Sponsors Drive 10
Get Funds For Crippled Adults

This hospital, in existence for several
years now, is unique in that, although
practically local. it is the only place
in the world where a needy and deserv-
ing crippled adult can get the very best
of o~rthopedic treatment and surgery
without it costing him one dime. That
means just this. Any adult living sole
ly upon his or her income, if rendered
crippled and helpless by an accident or
a bone disorder, Immediately becomes a
total loss and a burden to society as a
whole. For how many of you, under
those circumstances, would be willing to
let your loved ones mortgage their en-
tire our in financing thousands
of dollars worth of treatment and surg

Just quietly retire and remain ~cripples
until too late, or just lie down and die
a slow death of constant physical and
mental agony. Such procedure deprives
the victim and his dependents of any
means of self-support. and leaves it up
to some sort of charity to provide for
them for the rest of their lives. How
evidently necessary then it is to prac-
tice prevention by providing a place
where this type of unfortunate can find

pense of ~equipping and operating this
hospital for years. They feel that they
have pioneered and proved a social ser
vice that should be extended far and
wide. Their present campaign is not a

den. 1t is an invitation for the public
as a whole to come in and share with
them in an investment which reaps div
idends of health and rehabilitation for
you and your ~neighbors.
Some months ago | found myself to-

seems almost miraculous. And thous-

story. Misfortune plays no favorites,
Some day you may be telling the same
story. Let us hope it will have the

the working of the constant

Of Ghandi in India. He showed
how the nation stands almost
