Free Cripple Clinic Postponed a Week Many readers of The Tribune will be interested in the following an nouncement, which appeared In the Mount Airy News last week, relative to the) free cripple clinic, which has been postponed a week on account of the Christmas holidays: . Due to the fact that everyone will be engaged in enjoying the holiday season, the next- cripple Clinic will be held In the County Health office, Friday, January 2, 1931 instead of the fourth Friday in December. This clinic will be the fourth in the serites of Cripple Clinics to be .held every fourth Friday In every month of the year. These clinics are made possible by the Mount Airy Ciwanis Club, and are under the su ervision of an Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. R. A. Moore, of Winston-Salem, t'hese clinics are also in accordance with and affiliated with the State Department of Vocational rehabili tation. At each clinic a member of the State Department is usually pres ent to outline the training to help make every cripple self-supporting. The state also aids In buying braces and helps to pay hospital bills for those who are unable to pay. Many have taken advantage o( these clinics from Surry, Alleghany, Wilkes, Stokes and Yadkin. Several have also been treated from Virgin ia. Examinations and treatments are done in Mount Airy with the ex ception of operations, which are done in the Baptist hospital in Wins ton-Salem. The Health Department, Kiwanis* Club, and State Department of vo cational rehabilitation are very an xious for every cripple in the four named counties to have proper ex amination and treatment, and if possible become self-supporting; The next clinic will be held in the County Health Office In Mount Airy, January 2, 1931.
