There were '2l;'().0fl0 permanently disabled in war service and 1,250,000 civili ans were handicapped during the ir years. About 350.000 Ameri cans are disabled every year from accident alone. And this does not include those crippled by diseases such as arthritis, tuber culosis and heart trouble. Although Congress set up the I'.

GETTING used to crutches at fee live work could be done in the kind of training Dr. Rusk wants Even now il is estimated that the federal agency reaches only one twcnlieth of those who might bene fit and Dr. Husk suspects that even that estimate is too low The U. S. office estimates there are 2.000,000 Americans eligible for benefit un der the 1943 law. But Dr Husk is confident many more might be helped Federal aid is given through state and local agencies. And Dr. Rusk says it is severely handicap ped by lack of specialized schools, shop- and expert advice in local communities. Now the new New York University department and Bellevue Hospital in New York are cooperating with the Baruch Com-! mittee in developing a model re habilitation center. A boy, intent on tying his shoe strings with one hand might be found in almost any American bedroom, with an exasperated parent coming in to tell him to stop trying silly stunts and get on with his dressing. At Bellevue, the boy with one hand missing does the "stunt" in all seriousness with some of the best medical brains of the coun try to help him.

G. llambe, of Haz elwood. and Mr. Jack Fugate. son of Mr. and Mrs IJ. C. Fugate of I Dellwood were married on Feb. In, at Dallas. Ga. They were ac companied by Mr and Mrs. Robert Lee Smith, of Aragon. Ga. The bridegroom and Mr. Smith were in the service together for nearly thn e years On the Sunday night following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Fu gate were honored with a buffet supper party al the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Jacobs.

E. G. Moss, Oxford Test Farm superin tendent. Informs the State Depart ment of Agriculture. Moss said growers averaged about $1,080 per acre on this crop, or about twice as much as burley and flue-cured tobacco producers. The entire amount of Turkish grown in 1946, however, was pur chased in advance at 70 cents per pound by various tobacco com panies.

Deaver of the univrsity medical staff. II usually costs between $300 and $500 a year to maintain a disabled person. Yet $300 worth of training in each case will permit roost of : them to earn their own living. Or. Rusk Insists that the whole man must be treated, his atti tudes, aptitudes, ambitions and social relations as well as the specific difficulties attributable to his disability. Although some agencies are equipped to handle that type of treatment, they are seldom available for the vast ma jority of those who might benefit. Among the agencies which Dr. Rusk believes are doing good work are the Cleveland Rehabilitation Center, the Milwaukee Curative Workshop, the Montefiore Tuber culosis Sanatorium, the Warm Springs Foundation and new cen ters in San Francisco; Bridgeport, Conn.; and Wilmington, Del. Pro grams have been planned or start ed in Chicago; Detroit; Kansas City; Durham, N. C; Boston and Minneapolis. Preliminary steps are being taken in about 30 other com munities. If training centers were univer-1 sally available, the New York Insti tute for Crippled and Disabled says an independent personality who can buy ice cream for his grand child and his own pipe tobacco." Although the disabled sometimes have difficulty finding jobs, Dr. Maple Grove News Mrs. Ed Glavich Miss Bernlce Harrell gave a birthday dinner party at her home on the Dellwood Road on Saturday night, February 22, honoring two of her friends, Misses Edith and Edna McCracken. The George Washington motif was carried out in the decorations. The table was covered with a white linen cloth trimmed with ruffled bands of red and blue crepe paper, white paper napkins with red cher ry design and hatchet shaped place cards were used. A large birthday cake flanked by red candles In silver candlesticks formed the decoration for the cent er of the table. Mrs. Lou Palmer is able to get around again after a weeks illness. J. E. Toy is home again after spending some lime in a hospital in Tennessee. Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Queen are building a five room apartment and their son, Richard, two tourist cabins equipped with private baths near their home on the Dellwood Road. The new buildings are to be used along with the present comfortable farm house to take care of tourists who come to the mountains for several weeks vaca tion during the summer. Meals will be served in a central dining room in the main building. The Woman's Society of Chris tian Service of the Maple Grove church will meet at the home of Mrs. Edward Glavich on February 28 at two o'clock. All members are urged to be present.
