Arlington Democrats
Back Hospital Move

The Arlington Democratic Club
has voted to back a movement look
ing to establishment of a commune
cable disease hospital in Northern
Virginia.
The club offered aid to a COM
mittee being formed by the Arling-
ton Chamber of Commerce to study
methods of acquiring the facility
after spokesman pointed out that
there is no such hospital in the
area.
Speakers told the club Thursday
night that the Virginia Legislature
has authorized formation of COM
missions for single communities or
combinations of localities to oper-
ate communicable disease hospitals.
Under the Hill-Burton Act, local.
tiles are required to furnish ap-
proximately At per cent of the f.
nancing with the Federal and State
governments furnishing the re-
mainder.
The club also passed a resolution
asking for legislation at the next
session of the General Assembly au-
thorizing local electoral boards to
name more than five judges and
clerks for each polling place. A
special hree-judge court which last
month heard a request for a recount
of votes cast in the November
County Board election, recon-
mended that such legislation be
sought.
After hearing talk by Admins
traitor John Anderson of Arlington
Hospital, the club voted support of
a $4,000 Embarrassing campaign to
begin this year. Mr.. Anderson told
the club that 81 would be sought
from each county resident. Last

MaInutrition Case Laid
To Inability 10 Swallow

Maryland Welfare Director J.
Milton Patterson has attributed the
condition of two Huntsville Md
children who were found suffering
from malnutrition this week, to a
mental deficiency which prevented
them from swallowing food.
Mr.. Patterson's report was SUBJ
mitted yesterday to Gov. Lane, who
had ordered an investigation.
His report agreed largely with
earlier findings of Prince Georges
County Board of Public Welfare,
which said the mother had given
the children better than-average
care. The earlier report described
the children as suffering cerebral
palsy.
In his report Mr.. Patterson said
the children, Lawrence E. Hunt, II,
and Marie Louise Hunt, 6, were suf-
fering from congenital mental
deficiency characterized by pro-
gressive failure of vital physical
functions, including the inability
to swallow food.
The children now are in the
Prince Georges General Hospital,
where their condition was described
as poor.
Gov. Lane said he will attempt to
determine what special medical
treatment can be given the chill
dren.

$4,000 Goal Sought
As Arlington Opens
March Of Dimes

With a $4,000 goal, the Arlington
March of Dimes is under way.
A total of 10000 letters have been
mailed to Arlington residents ask
ing for contributions to the fight
against polio. according to Mrs.
Laura T. Boldin, who is serving her
18th term as drive director.
Two Mile of Dime booths will be
opened Friday at Wilson boulevard
and North Highland street, and
coin boxes will be placed in bust
ness establishments and theaters
Throughout the county. The cam
paign will end January 81.
Arlington, had 26 cases reported
last year out of the approximately
800 in the State.
Four Epidemics.
During the last five years" Mrs.
Boldin said, Arlington has had
four epidemics.' An epidemic is
defined as 80 cases per 100 900
population. she stated.
In order to have sufficient funds
to cover the costs of the care of
our patients, we have had to appeal
to the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis time and again for
advances which have totaled more
than $4,000"
Mrs. Boldin pointed out that al
most 100000 has been spent on Ar
llngton polio victims in the last three
years and that the expenses are
continuing in many cases.
Hospital Costs Cited.
Two Arlington victims now are
hospitallzed in Baltimore at a cost
of $3.50 per month each, Mrs. Boldin
said, and two others are in District
hospitals at an individual cost of s35
to $40 day. One of the patients
in Baltimore has been hospitalized
since 1916, she said.
To make certain that each polio
sufferer is given immediate care and
treatment, We guarantee to hospitals
the payment of all costs involved. 2"
the director said, and we have fur
nlshed hospitals and clinics with
necessary services and equipment for
such care and treatment"
The March of Dime campaign is
the only method employed by the
National Foundation for raising
funds, Mrs. Boldin pointed out. She
said that half of the money raised
locally is sent to the national head
quarters.
