tickets may be purchased from any
committeeman or at the Legion
Hall Saturday night.
The National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, in cooperation
with existing government agencies,
Mr.. Weinhold pointed out, Is today
setting a pattern for the rehabilita-
tion of handicapped persons which
will serve in good stead as our
wounded veterans return home to
assume their places in civilian So
ciety. Victims of poliomyelitis are
even now opening up new avenues
of hope for those of our men who
will come back permanently dis
abled by proving every day that a
disability need not stand in the way
of economic productivity and in
dependence.
A survey recently completed by
the Federal Security Agency, Office
of Vocational Rehabilitation, re-
veals that 1892 handicapped infan-
tile paralysis cases were economi
cally rehabilitated during the year
ending June 30. 1943 by State Re-
habliitation Agencies alone.
The first step in the rehabilita-
ton of the handicapped person is
the restoration of his maximum
physical independence. In many
poliomyelitis cases, the disease has
entailed partial weakness or COM
plete loss of muscle power in one
or several parts of the body, and
consequent loss of movement. In
many instances, the loss has in
capacitated the victim to such a
degree that he is unemployable.
Often proper physical therapy will
restore at least some degree of
function; often surgery will do the
trick-and this may mean one or a
whole series of operations. Some
times properly fitted braces or orth-
opedic shoes will enable a victim
to walk again, or one who walked
painfully to walk more easily.
Perhaps only little care is needed
perhaps great deal. The nation
cannot, IL only from a point of
sound economy permit him to go
unaided.
Through its Chapters, The Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile Par
alysis. is providing whatever care
is necessary to restore to polio vic
Tins their maximum physical in
dependence, within the limits of
present-day knowledge of the treat
ment for this disease. This aid is
financed by contributions to the
March OF Dimes in Celebration of
the Presidents Birthday. The
March of Dimes takes place this
year January 1881. Aid is given
regardless of the age. race, creed.
or color of the victim, and to
chronic as we'll as to acute cases
The only yardstick is the yard
stick Of need.
