Cost of Polio Patient Care
Soars High With New Cases
The cumulative cost of caring'
for polio patients soars tremend
ously each year as new cases are
added to old, H. T. Blackhurst,
1951 March of Dimes campaign
director for Brazos County, said
today.
Consequently, he added, increas
ingly larger amounts of money are
needed to cope with the over-all
load of new and carry-over cases.
As high polio incidence continues—
as it has for the past three years
—the problem becomes increasingly
complex, Blackhurst declared.
There is only one answer to this
new polio challenge,” Blackhurst
said. “That is to make the coming
Mai’ch of Dimes, Jan. 15 to 31, the
greatest on record.”
Funds Depleted
The chairman explained that dur
ing 1948, 1948, and 1950—when
more than 100,000 children and
adults were striken—the treasuries
of hundreds of chapters across the
country were depleted and many
others were reduced to the danger
point. At the same time the epi
demic aid fund of the National
Foundation reached bottom for two
years running, he said.
“We are now faced with a stag
gering polio patient load,” Black
hurst informed. “No matter what
the 1951 polio season may bring
in the way of epidemics, we know
that we will be responsible for
thousands of patients from 1950
and earlier years.
“Costs of caring for new cases
are high—we all know that, but
old cases usually are even more
expensive because they are the ser
iously affected long-term cases. It

Dist. 29 Masons
The Most Worshipful Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge of
Texas, Honorable W. J. Burris, last
night addressed the members of
District 29 Masons in the Brazos

Honorable Gibb Gilchrist.
goes without saying that we can
not abandon even one of these, if
there is the slightest hope for
improvement.”
Costliest Cases
The campaign director said that
in addition to the various types of
prolonged and costly treatment re
quired, thousands of patients need
new appliances, braces, new wheel
chairs and other equipment essen
tial to everyday life.
“Many hundreds each year,” he
C of C Obtains
Health Charts
For Students
“ ‘The Wetzel Grid’, a new
aid being used in schools to
check childrens’ growth and
health, has been enthusiastic
ally received by the teachers
of Consolidated Elementary
School,” said Mrs. H. S. Cresswell,
principal.
The grids are being furnished to
the school by the College Station
Chamber of Commerce for use with
the elementary school’s health pro
gram.
The grids are charts on
which height and weight of the
students are recorded once a month,
and every normal person up to the
age of 20 follows one of seven lines
plotted on the chart. If there is
some abnormality, even a cold, Mrs.
Cresswell said, there will be some
indication on the chart.
Mrs. W. M. Dowell, chairman of
the health committee of the Dads
and Mothers Club, explained some
of the technicalities of the grid at a
recent meeting with the school
faculty.
Plans were discussed for sup
plementary rest and food for chil
dren not up to par, and for par
ent-teacher conferences, Mrs.
Cresswell said.
Each child will be weighed and
measured at the beginning of each
month, she added.

said, “must live encased in res
pirators, with nurses constantly
in attendance; these are the most
costly cases of all. Their care may
range from $7,000 to $10,000 a
year, and sometimes much more.”
In its 13 years of existence, the
director revealed, the National
Foundation has spent some $94,-
000,000 in patient care, almost two-
thirds of it in the last three years.
An increasing part of each year’s
expenditure has been for patients
from previous years’ epidemic, he
said, for with continued high polio
incidence in successive years the
number of long-term cases increas
es.
“Even this is not the full bill
since many thousands will look to
us for help in 1951, if they are to
continue their lives under condi
tions as normal as science and mon
ey can make them,” Blackhurst
continued. “We cannot let them,
down; we must open our hearts
as never before in the 1951 March
of Dimes.”

A Lesson in Building
! This youngster is learning
the rudiments of one of the
oldest and most useful of the human arts—the art of
building. It was a great day in the life of primitive man
when he learned to put sticks and stones together and
build things.
From the crude structures of humanity’s infancy,
the art of building has progressed to its present amaxing
proportions. Today we have beautiful residences, im
posing churches, sprawling factories, tall skyscrapers
and far-flung bridges.
Life itself is a building process which begins in in
fancy and runs throughout our days. All the knowledge
we acquire, all our experi-

ences, habits, thoughts,
ideals, and emotions are
laid block on block to
form the-pattern of our
character.
And the strength of
the life we build is mea
sured in terms of faith-
faith in God and in good.
With this faith man can
bind together the elements of
his life in an enduring struc
ture. The Church and the
Bible are the best guides in
the building of a life.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . ..
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
Th® Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily. j
