ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST TO WOMEN ON PAGE 18 Paraplegic Voices Hope For Disabled Thro' Society's Work Speaking quietly and convincing- ly from hls wheelchair Mr. Ken- neth Langford, secretary of the Canadian Paraplegic Association described something of the work of the association to the members of the University Women's Club last evening. A paraplegic, he said, was a casualty suffering paralysis as a re- sult of injury to, or disease of, the spinal cord. Following World War I when knowledge of the disability was scant, and infection rabid, only the strongest constitutions survived, and these for but a few years, "The discovery of penicillin in World War IT combatted the in- fection," he said, "and teams of neuro-surgeons and physiothera- pists worked together to bring the casualties to the point where they oould be sent back to Canada. Here centres for paraplegics were set up in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver, and in 1945 the Cana- dia Paraplegic Association was in- corporated to assist in the rehabili- tation of war casualties." He spoke of the Lyndhurst centre in Toronto where patients undergo physical re-training. Here a patient learns to get along with- out hospital care and is taught .| how to become mobile enough to get around alone, "Through carefully supervised exercises on floor mats and in a heated pool patients learn how to dress and bath themselves, and get into bed or an automobile using only their arms," he sald. "Many drive hand-controlled automobiles, with accident-free records." He cited many cases of veterans who were now operating success- ful businesses of their own and sald that Canada sets a world re- C.|/cord in this field. In 1046 the facilities of Lyndhurst were made available to civilians and since then the same miraculous results have been obtained. "Any paraplegic," he concluded, "who has good health and reason- able intelligence, can be 're-habili- tated to live a good life without _| being a burden to his family or the community." The speaker was introduced by Mrs, F. M. McLellan and thanks were expressed by Mrs. R. V. Shef- field.
