1NFANTILE PARALYSIS EXPENSIVE

Infantile paralysis is of the most expensive dis known to medicine. Not only must many victims of past epidemics receive continuing care, but each years outbreaks add to the steadily growing list disqualification for single patient costs than $2 25OO year Some cases cost less, much more, depending on the severity of the attack
 Not only does the proper treatment of the disease in it's acute stage require constant skilled of and physical herapsts and frequently expensive equip ment but and treatment must often be continued for months afterwards.
 Few families meet the cost of extended polio treatment The Foundation has pledged that mo victim of polio shall go untreated for lack of money, regard less of age race, creed or color"
 Through the March of Dimes, January 14-31, con- ducted by the National Foundation for nfantile Paraly sis treatment and care be assured for all polio tims regardless of age, race, creed or color.

FRUITFUL IDLENESS
Anchorage Times)

There seems to have been some trouble recently at the regional surplus property office in Denver because one of the executives with annual salary of $6320 said to have nothing to do It charged that he had an office but secretary, telephone office mem oranda.
 Not knowing the qualifications of the executive in question, will attempt no comment on the case But will say that such setup might be good thing
 One of the fundamental faults of bureaucracy is that it surrounds some of it's best with too many ang
 ling telephones and too many secretaries busng in and out of the office with stacks of memoranda which de- mand immediate action It doesn't give the best any chance to think.
 After a Dr. Einstein has done of his best work in an office without phone, secretary memoranda just table and pencils and paper Put the right in those surroundings, hand do not disturb sign the door, and might get quick and wise decisions on of the countrys most pressing problems-prob lems which will never be solved in atmosphere of interdepartmental drectives and telephoned invita- tionS to lunch.

 They reported to the hospital and went to work, MT. Hawk by night and Mrs. Hawk by day. Un- der the supervision of Rogers doc tor, they worked with nurses and physical therapists, helping to give the little boy his hot packs and ex- ercises. Perhaps the devoted care of his parents, right there every day helping the hospital staff to care for him, gave small Roger an extra incentive to recovery. In any case, the boy began to respond to treatment.
 Roger continued to improve steadily. Within five weeks, he was able to stand and walk with the aid of crutches. To the hospi- tai staff, it was miraculous" re- covery. -
 The Hawks had proved adept and conscientious in their share of Rogers treatment. After careful consideration, and in view of Rog- CTS remarkably good recovery, his doctor decided that the boy might be permitted to return home in his parents care. He could be treated at home, with periodic check-up and outpatient supervi- sion.
 It worked out fine. MT. Hawk, day switchboard operator for cab company, gave his nights to care and treatment of his small son. Mrs. Hawk, night waitress in a restaurant, had her days free to devote to the child. Small Roger has continued his progress, and is now able to walk unaided
 The Hawks, about the happiest parents in Baltimore today, credit kernan's Hospital staff and the l Maryland Chapter of the National Foundation with Rogers recovery. They are in turn credited with their share in the miracle"

From Primaries
by Tho Assoeioisd Press

ATLANTA, Oct 5.-The now DOM
inant Talmadge faction among
Georgia Democrats is ready, spokes-
men say, to take the first step at
the State convention in Macon
Wednesday to stop Negroes from
voting in the State party primaries.
In doing so, Georgia would fol-
low the lead OF South Carolina,
which already has put into effect
similar measures.
Restoration Of the white primary,
ruled out last summer by a Fed
eral court, was promised by Eugene
Talmadge In his successful summer
campaign for fourth-term guber-
material nomination.
Here is the way Talmadge leaders
say 1t will be done:
l. The convention win ask the
Georgia Legislature to repeal ali
laws relating to primary elections
and, at the same time, approve anti
fraud measures under the States
police powers.
2. These laws, now in effect for
governing party elections, will be
adopted by the Democratic party
as Its own rules and regulation for
conducting primaries.
3. In addition to these rules, the
convention will limit membership In
the party association to white per-
sons and further require that only
members can vote In primaries.
In this manner. Talmadge fol-
lowers hold, the primaries would be
made extra judicial-taken outside
