To Start Monday

..Ma
In answer to a cali for funds
with which to meet the emer-
gency created by the number of
cases of MANTLE paralysis in the
state last year, the Jackson Coun-
ty Chapter of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis
sent more than $500 to headquar-
tiers at Jackson and 5000 more
will be sent at an early date, DR..
P. A. Thompson, chairman, an
nounced.
In addition to the funds sent
under the name of the county
chapter, SIS was sent through the
organization by the Junior Wo-
mans club of Pascagoula.
The l945 drive for funds for
this work will begin Monday and
continue through January 81, DIR.
Thompson announced.
To facilitate county coverage,
two auxiliary chapters have been
formed in this county, DR.. Thomp-
son explained. One is at Moss
Point with Mrs. r. e. Eley, chair
man, Mrs. K. w. Burnham, vice
chairman, Mrs. L. A. Watts, Sec
rotary, and Mrs. Malva Jackson,
treasurer. The other is in Ocean

During the past year one pa
tient was admitted to the clinic
for treatment from this county.
He was Morris Simmons, four
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
c. Simmons of Pascagoula.
OF the total amount sent from
this county, $l07.07 was designat-
ed for the purchase of braces and
special shoes for victims of the
disease. The cases are cared for
in the clinic erected after il was
realized in the l94l epidemic
that there was no disqualification
available for paralysis victims in
the early stages of the disease.
This hospital was built with a
grant of $1,000 sent by the Ma
tional Foundation on appeal from
DR.. Felix j. Underwood, state
health officer and matching fed
eral funds administered through
the Crippled Children's Service.
Women's clubs, civic organiza-
tons and many individual chap
tiers of the foundation through
the state assisted in furnishing
the building and preparing it for
occupancy.
The clinic is in operation under
the direction of the Crippled
Children's Service and the staff
consists of two orthopedic sur
geons, a specialist in children's
diseases, a graduate nurse, a
physical therapy technician, a
teacher and several assistants.
The national organization re-
Gently granted two scholarships
for the special training of the
nurse and physical therapist at
the Minneapolis Medical school
where the Sister Kenny Institute
is located. The Kinds County
Chapter has provided a scholar
ship for one of the physicians at
the clinic to take a special physi-
clans course at the same school.
An average of n new, acute
case a week is now being admit
ted to the clinic and with the ar
rival of hot weather the menace
of this disease grows increasing
ly greater.

Porochufing Army 'FirefIies'
Descend on Blazing Forests
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -
Specially trained u. S. Army
paratroopers are being used to
fight the worst series of forest
fires ever to strike the timber
rich Pacific Northwest. Official
name for the project is Fire
fly"
A dangerously dry season,
coupled with an acute manpow-
err shortage, forced the u. S.
Forestry Service to appeal to
the Army for help. So a group
of paratroopers at Fort Ben
ming, Ga, was given six weeks
of special training in fire-fight-
ing techniques in addition to
regular instruction. Now the
men are based at Chico, Calf,
Pendleton, Ore, and at the
Army air base here.
From these strategically plac-
ed points, the Troop Carrier
Command can drop fire-fighters
at any trouble spot from the
Canadian to the Mexican border.
Most disastrous of the fires have
ragged in Washington, Oregon.
and Montana. Reports show the
FREELY" project has already
saved thousands of acres of val
liable timber.
Information on the exact To-
cation of the blaze, type Of ter
rain, wind velocity and size OF
the fire is sent to the closest
base. In less than an hour the
constantly : alerted troops are
ready to take Off.
The men jump as they would
for combat, from a height OF
1000 to 1000 feet. Four or five
men are dropped together in one
spot along the front of the fire.
The jumeprs prefer to land In
trees, because the impact is less
severe. They carry 200 = foot
ropes to let themselves down.
First job when they land Is to
start digging trenches ahead OF
the blaze to keep it from spread
ing. AS soon as it is confined
to a specific area the men try
to extinguish the fire. Whenever
possible, Forest Ranger is on
hand to direct the firefighting.
An officer or non com jumps
with the men to direct their
work or help the Ranger.
One man has been killed In
operations so far. He fell 200
feet out of a tree. Minor cas-
ualties run about 20 per cent.

Clinton Board Receives
Report On Fire Hazards

Although privately lauding
the report Of two volunteer fire
inspectors indicating that haz-
ards existing in some Clinton
Township schools constitute fire
traps, the township board at its
regular meeting last night took
no action on the report.
Supervisor Paul Stepnitz said
that pressure of business and
the fact that two township
meetings were scheduled for
last night postponed actual read
ing of the report, which was
known to all board members.
Stepnitz said he had heard
nothing but favorable comment
on the firemens inspection of
seven schools - four of which
were found to have alarming
fire hazards, including the lack
of fire alarms, fire drills and
proper exits.
II think the job they did was
wonderful" the supervisor said
in reference to the inspectors
work.
II am mostly impressed by
the attitude of school officials
who readily offered their coop
Grafton in eliminating the fire
hazards pointed out to them.
They promised to waste no time
in 'rectifying the faults in
buildings and fire drill proceed
