Raleigh. ? More than 12,0001 North Carolina children have been s registered for examination, clinical treatment and hospitalisation, when 4 ,v njcessary by the Crippled Children's Division of the State Board of Health < since April, 19S6, when die Division : was established. v The total amount expended in this far-reaching reclamation program during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938, was $216,000. This includ ed $114,000 State funds; $96,000 from the Social Security Board, through the Children's Bureau at Washington, and $6,000 contributed by civic and patriotic organisations in North Carolina which are sponsor ing clinics held in all parts of the . State. Prior to 1917, there was no state - ? wide organized activity for crippled - children in North Carolina. The General Assembly of that year, which saw thousands of adults leave . for the war fronts of Europe, made ; legal provision for the first State > operated orthopedic hospital in the ^ South?and in 1921 such a hospital ' was opened at Gastonia. Its ser - vices were limited to white children under sixteen years of age and there J were only sixty beds. , ,| Today, under woat is Known as "The North Carolina Plan of Services for Crippled Children," administered by the State Board of Health, through the Division of Preventive Medicine, of which Dr. G. M. Cooper, Assistant State Health Officer, is the director, clinics are operated in eighteen cities an dtowns, from the mountai-s to the sea. The age lim * it is no longer 16, bq? 21, and a third of those given treatment art" negroes. Hospitalization is afford >;? ed and all cases are followed through. The services of ten of the State's best trained orthopedic sur t? geons are employed ,and the general ... supervisor is James T. Barnes, whose headquarters are in the State Board v of Health Building, in Raleigh. Dr. * M. Cooper is the medical director. "With the passage of the Social Security Act, in 1936," Mr. Barnes , explained, "the State Board of Health ^ selected a committee, representatives of health and welfare agencies, medical society members, nurses and lay organizations interested in crip pledd children. Assigned to this committee was the task studying and preparing a plan of services to crip . ?. pies. After making an intensive survey of existing services and considering bow these could best be utilised and the same time, conform to the re quirements of the Social -Security Act, the committee drsfte<$a pro posal which was presented to a&i approved by the ChHdren's Bureau. '"The new plan, approved in March, 1936, contained the following essen tial provisions: (1) Recognition of the North Carolina State Board of Health as the fisoper* agency to co ordinate the work of the several agencies in the ^ State for solving the problems of the crippled child; (2) the. creation of an advisory group, representative of the primary inter est in the crippled - child, naaaeiy, medical groups, medical schools, health and welfare agencies, educa tional groups and lay dvic organi zations. The organisation thus formed is known as the North Caro lina Crippled Children's Commission and meets semi-annually, at the call of the State Board of Health, tot advisory counseling. "The mam oDjecuves ox me crip pled Children's Division of the State Board of Health, under which the orthopedic program is administered, are: To locate crippled children and cause than to be registered; to pro vide diagnoses and ^treatment,, through clinics; to provioh hospital care at the State Orthopedic Hos pital in Gastonia, and at selected general hospitals located at conven ient points throughout the State; to follow up cases by visiting and su pervising crippled children in their homes, through a field service of per sonnel, trained especially in the care and treatment of individuals affected by crippling conditions, or conditions which might lead to crippleness, and to collect data and publish informa tion engendering public in treat in the solution of the problems involved." The orthopedic sqrgeons whose ser vices are employed are all men who have qualified under the National Board of that specialty and who, prior to becoming associated with this vork, had practiced their pro fession exclusively in North Caro lina for at lea& one year. The general hospitals selected pro vide an average of 100 beds, in addi tion to the 160 at the State Ortho pedic Hospital in Gastonia, for the care of operative cases, to the num ber of 1,000 a year.
