Polio
Four Units For Aid Now
Established
The nation right now is ex
| periencing what may prove to
oe one 01 the largest polio epi
demics in the recorded history
of the disease in this country.
This was made known tooay by
Mrs. Robert uaines, chairman 01
the Macon County chapter, ol
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
"80 far this year", Mrs.
Gaines said, "according to the
U. S. Public Health service the
upsurge of polio cases nation
ally has exceeded the rise dur
ing similar periods ever since
infantile paralysis figures have
been reported by that agency.
"We cannot tell how severely
we may be hit, "the chairman
said, "but the National Foun
dation and its chapters are
prepared as never before. Long
range planning early this spring
now is paying invaluable divi
dents in ability to meet the
present emergency.
"Four polio emergency aid
units have been established in
cooperation with Stanford Uni
versity, Harvard University,
Northwestern University and
the D. T. Watson School of
Physiotherapy," Mrs. Gaines ad
ded.
These units, it was explained,
art comprised of an orthopedic
surgeon, pediatrician, ortheope
dic nurse, an epidemiologist and
tw physical therapists. Upon
request of state and local health
authorities the units go into
epidemic areas, assist in setting
up facilities and help instruct
local professional personnel in
modern methods of diagnosis
and treatment of infantile par
alysis.
Should any chapter exhaust
its treasury in providing for
adequate care and treatment of
victims in its area, national
headquarters sends in supple
mentary financial aid, Mrs
Gaines said. Services of the
Foundation and its chapters are
rendered polio patients regard
less of age, race, creed or color.
