IW1co = year crippled cnllQfen
clinics, conducted by the State Board
of Health division of Child Health
Services, are examining more than
1000 children. This is more than
four times the number of children
being examined under the program
II years ago.
Sixteen clinics are conducted each
spring and fall to serve every county
in the state. The diagnostic services
of the clinics are available to any
child (under Fl years Of age) be-
lieved to have gripping condition.
Children are referred to the clinics
by family physicians, public health
nurses or welfare workers. Referrals
by public health nurses and welfare
workers are cleared for the clinics
through local physicians.
A pediatrician and an orthopedist
examine the child in the parents
presence and report the findings to
the family physician, the parents and
the local health department.
The State Board of Health has been
conducting the clinics since July of
1911; prior to that, crippled children
services were in the Montana Dept.
of Public Welfare. Before that, Grip
pied children clinics were conducted
by the Montana Orthopedic Com
missions.
While the average daily hospital
cost for patients accepted for treat
ment under the program jumped
from $3.45 in 1887 to $13.08 in
1853, the average yearly hospital cost
has been cut from $131.27 of 1887
to $4,000 in 1858.
The average daily cost of patient
care is reflection of the increasing
cost of hospital care and treatment.
The reduction of the average year
ly cost of the care of patients &C
copied for care under the program,
is result of more effective use of
funds available for the program.
This cost reduction has been
achieved by better adaptation of the
care to the individual child's needs.
This has resulted in shorter hospital
stays for the crippled children, more
out-patient care, better management
of the individual cases, care of some
children in foster homes and the re-
turning of the child to the home
extended home care:
Although no treatment is actually
given at the clinics, arrangements for
needed treatment may be made at the
lime of the diagnostic examinations.
The number of children served for
he first time has increased from 624

: Rural electric officials are unalter-
ably opposed to any increase in
REA's interest rate. They contend
that it is designed and fostered by
opponents of the rural electric and
telephone systems. The cost of money
to the government over the past ten
years, they point out, has been below
20. This is backed up by U. S. Treas
ury statistics.
The CHATTANOOGA TIMES re-
ported that the Task Force repeatedly
urged that the interest rate to rural
electric and rural telephone borrowers
be increased to include currently
higher cost of money to government
plus the cost of administrative funds
to provide the lending services of
REA. The TIMES report also said
that REA be reduced from it's present
stature, and be placed under the Farm
Credit Administration.
Former President Herbert Hoover,
chairman of the commission bearing
his name, according to the TIMES,
accepted the Task Force recommen-
dation, prepared by the Task Force
study group, which is the New York
accounting firm of Price, Waterhouse
Co., leading private utility book
keeper.
REA Administrator Anchor Nielsen
announced last fall during the
NRECA regional meetings that he
was opposed to any rate increase to
farmer-owned electric systems. He
has stated that he has the support
of President Eisenhower backing his
opposition to the discussed interest
boost. In his most recent annual re-
port on REA, Nelson declared that
REA had realized a $45-million profit
for the government over the 18-year
history of the program.
Rep. Kit Clardy (Mich.) introduced
a bill in Congress during the first
session of the 83rd Congress, which
would have doubled REA interest
,ates, and destroyed the financial
;olvency of many rural electric sys-
ems, which he admitted was his pur-
pose. In the recent Congressional
elections, Clardy was retired from
Congress by the voters in his home
district.
The repayment record of the rural
Identification borrowers is one of
he finest in the annals of govern
nent lending. Farmers owning their
'wn electric systems have repaid the
government $566,200,000 in princi-
'al and interest on money borrowed
rom REA. This includes $79-million
# principal which has, been repaid
head of schedule. Less than one
enth of one per cent of all the
money borrowed is more than 80
avs delinquent in being repaid.

have reported their findings on 1900
(1.25%) of these referrals. Reports
are pending or are incomplete on the
remaining 1870 (0.89ao) cases so
referred to their family physicians
for examinations.
Final medical reports from physi-
clans on the 1900 referrals confirmed
the presence of: 407 cases of tuber-
culosis (0.23% of the total number
X-rayed in these counties), II neo-
plasms (0.04%), 981 heart condi-
lions (O.55%) and 535 (O.3%o) other

More Than 5000 Licenses
Being Mailed Montana
Establishments

The State Board of Health's divi-
sion of Environment sanitation this
month started mailing licenses to
Montana's more than 5000 food
handling establishments and tourist
courts.
AS part of program, initiated by
the board in July 1853 to improve
Montana's food handling and tourist
court sanitation, 1856 licenses are be-
ing mailed directly to local health
officers. This is being done in order
to better integrate the inspectional
and licensing programs. Local health
officers, by state law, are respon-
sible for certain inspection services
in such establishments.
In the past the licenses had been
sent directly to the operators, except
in a few areas served by a local SAM
tartan. In those situations the issu-
ance of the license was subject to re-
view by the local health officer or
his sanitarian. The license of any
establishment not meeting local sanl-
tary approval was returned to the
State Board of Health with report
and recommendation from the local
health officer.
DR.. G. D. Carlyle Thompson, execu-
tive officer of the State Board of
Health, in letter to local health Off
GERS explained that, "The extension
of the procedure to all areas of the
state will eliminate the issuance of
licenses to unsatisfactory places and
also minimize the need for revoca-
ton of licenses, based on your reports,
as in passed years.
eff the health officer, or sanitarian
acting as his deputy, determines that
the named establishment complies
with the sanitary requirements, he
may sign the license in the appropri-
ate space in the lower right-hand cor
ner and mail or deliver it to the OPP
orator." mi oe~ afaF
eff the establishment does not
comply with sanitary requirements),
he may hold the license for period
of 80 days pending compliance"
Cor the local health officer may
return the license to the
State Board of Health, together with
his reasons for disapproval of the
issuance of the license"
Last year licenses were issued to
995 meat markets in the state; 229
food locker plants; 1859 public eat
ng places; 1915 food manufacturers
(bottlers, Gamers, bakeries, etc.;
BOAT soft drink licenses Including
ce cream stores and taverns); and
359 licenses to tourist courts.
A fee of So is charged for all IL
lenses except food locker licenses
which require a $40 license fee. Mon
" derived from these license fees IS
deposited in the Montana General
fund, subject to disbursement by the
legislature.
The licenses cover the calendar
ear period from Jan. l through De-
ember 81. Applications for the Ii
enses were mailed to the operators
n December.

Airlines Ask CAB To Limit Operations Within Alaska To Alaskan Companies

lines-Northern Consolidated and Wien Alaska have asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to limit airline operations within Alaska to Alas ka companies.
 Another territorial operator, AL aska Airlines, wants the board to integrate airlines within Alaska and those operating between AL aska and the U.S., through six way merger.
 The boards Bureau of Air Op- erations, on the other hand, rec ommends a two-airline competi- tive system between the States and Alaska, with Pan American World Airways and Pacific North ern Airlines flying that route.
 The positions were made known in briefs filed with the CAB.
 Northern Consolidated and Wien said, in a joint brief, that no use full purpose could be served by operation of local routes within Alaska by "Statesides" compan- ies.
 They said that if territorial companies were given the busi- ness within Alaska now handled by companies which operate in the States, the increased volume would reduce costs and increase economies among local air lines in Alaska.
 They also urge that service by Alaska Airlines and Pacific Northern be suspended at points in Alaska served by Northern Consolidated and Wien. Wien urged also that Pan American be suspended on the Fairbanks Nome route.
 Alaska Airlines proposed it take over the systems of Wien Alaska and Northern Consolidated, and that routes within Alaska of Cor dova and Reeve-two other terri torial companies-be merged into the system of Pacific Northern.
 Alaska said savings, if Wien and Northern Consolidated were merged with it, would amount to between $1,86e,OOO and $2,379,0OO annually.
 Alaska said the improved ser vice that would result would cut fares within the territory which, in some cases, it said, now are five or ten times as high as in the States.
 Arnold D. Berkley, attorney for the CAB Bureau of Air Opera tions, recommended against re- newal of the temporary certifi- cates of Northwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines for operations be- tween the United States and AL aska.
 Berkley recommended:
 l. Competition between two air lines to each of the principal markets in the States-Alaska service-Seattle, Anchorage and Fairbanks. He said this would provide competitive balance as contrasted to the present pattern of four air lines dividing this market.
 2. Selection of Pan American as one air line because it is the low cost operator in the area and already holds a permanent certi- ficate to the major markets except for Anchorage.
