RUEHL & COMPANY but 11 157 12 15 President‘s Birthday Party Plays Part in County Assistance Of interest in connection with the forthcoming President‘s Birthday Party, to be held in twentyâ€"seven Lake county communities on Janâ€" uary 30, is the information comâ€" piled by the Lake County Chapter of the National Foundation for Inâ€" fantile Paralysis, of the assistance the funds raised by these parties have been to those who were seized by the dread infantile paralysis. | _ Another case was that of a young Grayslake person who required a leg | brace for the purpose of supporting her in her effort to walk. This brace was purchased by the committee in the absence of funds from this young person‘s own community. Still another case was that of a young man, away from home, who was stricken in Waukegan. Sun lamp and swimming pool treatments were provided in an effort to restore his limp limbs to usefulness. The case of a young North Chiâ€" cagoan serves as a good example of how beneficial it is to have imâ€" mediate attention. This young perâ€" son was seized two weeks prior to the time that medical advice was called in, with the result that it was all the more difficult to prevent the contraction of museles which usually accompanies such cases. A brace was purchased to assist in straightâ€" ening out this young person‘s legs. The use of an iron lung was reâ€" quired for a person in North Chiâ€" cago. The closest iron lung, at the time, was in an Evanston hospital and it was to this institution that this young person was transported, only to have life ebb away within a few hours after having been placâ€" ed within i. Had an iron lung been available in Waukegan or North Chicago, at the time, there would have been a good chance of saving this young person‘s life. In still another case, specially built shoes were required to correct a foot deformity. The shoes were provided by the committee for two years. Tkets are now on sale for the local party, and it is the hope of the committee that local residents will respond wholeheartedly for this worthy causeâ€"to save the body and life of those who are afflicted with infantile paralysis. Included on the executive commitâ€" tee of the Lake County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infanâ€" tile Paralysis are many prominent physicians and surgeons whose proâ€" fessional advice and counsel will now be available to the County Chapter, and it is hoped that as a result of this it will be possible to offer constructive aid, no matter in what community the stricken person may be located.
