To Aid Others

said Arthur r. Garner. the volun-
teer, as he settled behind his desk
in the Agriculture Department Of
flee of Information.
Instead of hat, he had hung
his crutches on nearby hatrack.

old till l was Il I crawled around
on my hands and knees" Mr.. Gar
ner related. MY legs were bent
tight and next to useless all that
time. My hands were bleeding a
lot of the time because of the wear
and tear they got.
Il hate the thought of any kid
going through that"

This is not the first time Mr..
Garner has offered his blood-"con-

Ito young polio sufferers. In

one OF the 13 aggregate surgical op-
erations which eventually restored
partial use of his legs. he was con-
fronted by distressed parent. Her
child had just been admitted for
treatment of the disease and needed
an immediate TRANSMISSION.
My doctor said it was okay as
far as my condition was concerned,
so just gave the blood" Mr.. Garner
said. He donated either Ave or
seven times to polio sufferers that
year-he can't remember exactly.
He does recall he rejected with some
Indignation S25 check mailed him
by one of the grateful mothers some
time later. Parents of two of the
children notified Mr. Garner their
youngsters afterward recovered and
were able to walk.
