Territorial Crippled Children's Program ' Sponsored

The establishment of an Alas kan Crippled Children's Associa- ton to sponsor the Territorial Crippled Children's Program, es- tablished in 1887, has been an nounced by the Territorial De- partment of Health. A Territori- al Crippled Children's Association was proposed in a resolution pass ed by the Alaska Board of Health at its first meeting in September. Among the objectives of such a volunteer association would be the raising of funds to help provide for the needs of Alaska children suffering from crippling or de- forming conditions, and educa- tional materials on the subject of prevention of crippling, deform- ing and handicapping conditions, to be placed in each community in the Territory. Plans for the care of orthopedic cases within the Territory, including hospital ization, convalescent homes, and probably several rehabilitation -centers could be initiated.
 Local Organizations
 Representatives from several

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1945

interested organizations in An chorage have formed a committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Marshall Hoppin, to organize a Crippled Children's Association. It is expected that other towns will wish to organize local Grip n;ed Children's Associations to in terpret the territorial program and to assist in the raising of monies, in their communities.
 Care of Crippled Children
 Tn Alaska, crippled children's services are administered through the official agency, as in the States, with the aid of federal funds. The Division of Material and Child Health and Crippled Children's Services of the Territo- rial Department of Health is re- sponsible for the immediate su- pervision of the Program, includ- ing the maintenance of contract beds in the Children's Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle and in the Swedish Hospital for older chil- dren. The Health Department contracts for the services of four orthopedic surgeons on the staffs of these hospitals for care of Alas kan children and pays for the transportation and hospital ex- penses of all Alaskan children

children who would benefit from specialized care, although the Territorial Legislature appropri- ates S25.000 for the care of crip- pied children each biennium. There is now available the sum of S40,000 in matching funds from the federal government which cannot be used because the Terri tory is unable to match this money. Monies raised through Crippled Children'S Associations in the Territory and any other do- nations, can be matched dollar for dollar when channeled through the official agency. During the fiscal year 1944-45, the sum of S54,773.7l was spent for hospital ization, administration, payments to physicians and transportation The cost of maintaining Alaska crippled children in the orthope- die hospitals in Seattle is over $3200 per month.

Crippled Children Defined

It is interesting to note that about 50 per cent of the cripDling conditions in Alaskan children are due to tuberculosis.
 A crippled child is defined as a child under 2l years of age and suffering from a condition which has been diagnosed by a physician as orthopedic. Orthopedic cOndi- tions include tuberculosis of the bones and joints, as osteomyelitis and arthritis with deformity; con genital deformities, including clubfoot and dislocation of the hip, hare lip, and cleft palate, con genital cataract, and strabismus; birth injuries, as cerebral palsey, spasticity, etc.; deformities and
