For several weeks now Dr. A. Holmes Johnson has been taking a daily plunge, about 7::30 each morning, in the ocean by his Sprucehaven home. Mrs. John son, one of our spies tells us, dio- n't start as soon as he did, nor did she go in so drastically deep, but she adopted che ritual, too.
 We meant to mention 1t some time ago but the weather was too co d for us to even think or write about it. But now that the sun is out beautifully and the skies are blue and the air is bal my we are getting the urge to do a little dipping ourselves.
 To our mind there is nothing like a good, brisk, wade in ocean water. Ankle deep.

Getting news items from some people before the headline is like extracting a bicuspid, which makes more remarkable the fol- lowing item of interest received, neatly typed, from Mrs. Kathryn Francis, postmaster: It says here:

TO me nothing is more pitiful
than the sight of a boy or a girl
sitting in a wheel chair or standing
on crutches on the sidelines while
other boys romp and play.
Clutches Discarded
SISTER Elizabeth Kenny has
proved to the world that in thou
sands Of infantile paralysis cases
these crutches and wheel chairs
could have been discarded and the
children could have led healthy nor
NAL lives if they had been given
quick and proper treatment.
Miss Kenny has proved also that
1t is unnecessary for children strick-
en- with ~infantile paralysis to suffer
pain. humiliating deformities and
other complications.

paign goal and assuring the children
of America that their future health
will be protected"
In his announcement, Crosby EN-
phasized that one-half of the funds
in each state will remain in that
state to further the campaign
against infantile paralysis in local
communities. Funds, Crosby said.
also will help to:
Restore countless victims of in
fantile paralysis to normal lives.
Lessen ravages of this Gripping
disease for its victims.
Enable polio sufferers to recover

all peoples of all nations are fight
ing together against a common foe,"
Crosby said.
Strikes Everywhere
"~Infantile paralysis has no partic-
ular battlefront; it has no p~articu-
lar foe. 1t attacks the White, the
Negro or the Yellow man; Protes-
tant, Catholic or Jew; the strong as
well as the weak. 1t strikes without
warning. 1t may strike in n Sec
ton of our nation today and another
tomorrow. 1t may strike simultane-
ously in many parts of the nation, in
many parts of the world.
Tomorrow it may hit your COM
munity, your family or yourself.
THE Sister Elizabeth Kenny
Foundation 1945 appeal is being con-
Quoted so we can wage an all out
war against infantile paralysis and
lust as wars among nations cost
money so do wars upon disease. If
we are to win the battle against in
fantile paralysis there must be
money for research, there must be
funds for the treatment of those who
fall victim to its ravages."
The Omaha guide., 1945-12-08
Establish Local Clinic

Crosby emphasized that one-halt
OF the funds raised in each of the
48 states where the drive is being
conducted will remain in the state
to carry on local campaigns against
the disease, to finance training Of
Kenny technicians for clinics
throughout the country and to
finance treatment of the stricken.
Funds also will be used, Crosby
said, to:
Enlarge the Elizabeth Kenny In
stitute in Minneapolis. Minnesota.
Carry on extensive research as
to the causes of the disease.
Provide periodical study courses
for physicians and technicians.
Perpetuate and extend the scope
and benefits of the Kenny Institute
not only in the United States but
throughout the world.
Lessen ravages of the Gripping
disease.
Work Of Altruism
Elizabeth Kenny's work has been
a work OF altruism," Crosby said.
"She accepts no fees or salary from
her work. Her only reward is the
realization that she has brought
happiness back into the lives of
countless persons.
Il realize that the people Of Amer
lea have been called upon to contrib
ute to many worthwhile ventures
during the trying years Of the war.
We have won that war through the
generosity and the un~selfshness Of
the people Of America but another
wal that RACES continually remains
to be won. The people Of America
can help win that war too-the war
against infantile paralysis-by con-
tributing as generously as their
purse permits to the Sister Eliza

tive since congress assembled early
In December (not until 1894 was the

port for the current calendar year
