PUBLIC INVITED TO CEREBRAL PALSY
 BENEFIT NOVEMBER 3

The Palmer B. P. o. Elks will sponsor one of their few public events on Saturday night, No vember 3, when they hold their Cebral Palsy dinner-dance at the lodge. The public is invited to attend and help the lodge raise money for this project.
 Alaskan Elks have been doing their part in the National pro- 1ect and have contributed many thousands of dollars to the Ceb- ral Palsy funds in Alaska. As individuals the Elks save coins throughout the year in purple piggy banks which are emptied once a year, with all coins going into the fund.
 Money donated and raised by the local lodge stays in Alaska, t was pointed out. Previous con- tributions have made possible the purchase and operation of mobile units which are located in An ehorage, Kodiak, Juneau, in the Interior and in Southeastern Alaska. Originally the Elks had hoped to build a hospital but it has been found through research that mobile units which go to the patient are far more practi- cal and all funds are being di- rected to these units, the ther- apy work, the hiring of therap- ists. and the costs of maintain ing and shipping the units.
 David H. Morris, registered physical therapist, working with the Elks C. P. program in West ern Alaska, recently wrote Of his work in the program. Parts Of his letter follows: Last week a clinic was held in Fairbanks, and I was referred four patients for physical therapy treatment. I have three patients in Kodiak, three in Seward, one in Palmer, one in Guikana, one in Valdez and II in the Anchorage area, giving us a total of 23 patients under our care in Western Al aska :. I am sure my case load will increase rapidly in the near future -. ;. We are working under the sanction of the Alaska De- partment of Health, who hold Cerebral Palsy Clinics, and Or thopedic Clinics, periodically Our C. P. program is set up primarily home physical ther- apy treatment program I feel that our tyre of treatment program fills a definite need an- will benefit many of Alaska's crippled children
 The dinner dance slated for next week Saturday will begin at TOO pm. with a dinner choice of turkey or roast beef. Special entertainment and dancing will follow. The cost for the dinner and dance will be $500 per per- son; for the dance only, $200 per couple with all proceeds to go to the Cerebral Palsy fund. Tick cts may be obtained from Elks.
