GARCHES, France ? "She's a beautiful child," said a nurse at the Raymond Poirtcaire Hospital here, pointing to a five-year-old blond girl. "Everyone here, you know," the nurse continued, 'has had poliomyelitis (infantile paraly sis) and this room is used for the gymnastics which help to re-ed ucate the patients' bodies." The blond girl, laughing and pleased with the attention she was getting, was lifted to a pad ded table and placed on her back. A nurse slowly raised the child's legs, and began exercises which described a geometrical pattern with movements made to a slow rhythm. Only then could the mark of the disease which had struck the girl a few months before be seen; the mus cles of her left leg were still withered enough so that even an unpracticed eye could notice It. The child, Jeanne, whose fam ily lives in Paris, had an inter national audience that day. Watching her and the work of her nurses were a group of train ees brought here by the Intecna tional Children's , Center, which was'estiibHshea wnh the help of the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF.)
