The Shriners' hospitals for Grip
pied children, scattered all over the
United States, admit children only
from families who are unable to
pay for the services rendered. There
are no restrictions Of color, race OF
religion.
It Is estimated that there are
more than 100000 serious crippled
children in North America who need
orthopedic treatment. Medical sci
1enee hopes eventually to master
those children's diseases which leave
their victims crippled, but mean
while the number Of these young
sters, handicapped with helpless or
nearly helpless limbs, will continue
to be very great and the work which
the Shriners have undertaken calls
for the best efforts of the organi-
cation and merits the sympathetic
cooperation and support of all.
On New Years Day, Allan also
announced, the East-West football
game will be broadcast on a ma
tion-wide hookup. AL proceeds from
this game are used for crippled chill
dren In the Shriners' hospitals.
The local Shrine Club. organized

, mission be established.
| The commission would be for the
purpose of promoting the health,
safety, morals, order, convenience,
prosperity and general welfare of
the city, Kelly said.
In his communication to the city
governing body, he asked that the
mayor and council request the city
attorney to draw up ordinances to
provide for city planning, the crea-
ton, organization, powers and du-
ties of city plan commission, the
regulation and subdivision of land
and to provide penalties for the
violations of the provisions of the
ordinances.
He also requested that upon the
establishment of the city plan COM

member of the city council selected
by that body. and six persons APP
pointed by the mayor, who shall
represent the different occupations
and not be an employee of the city

office of the city.
He suggested that the six citizen
members Of the committee-if pos
sible-be a civil engineer, a lawyer,
a banker, teacher, a representa-
tive Of labor and a representative
Of business and industry.
According to Kelly the function
and duty of the proposed commits
sion could be to make and adopt a
master plan for the physical devel-
opment of the city, including any
areas outside the boundaries, which
in the commissions judgment, bear
relation to the planning Of the city.
Such a plan with the accompany
ing maps, plats, charts and descrip-

missions recommendations for the
development of this territory, in
Guiding the general location, char
acter and extent Of streets, viaductS,
subways, bridges, waterways, water

turned over to that body for dis
cuSsion.
