SAN FRANCISCO — President Basil O'Connor of The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has issued notices to all State Representatives that the Foundation will assist all Chapters in financing the necessary costs for those who cannot pay for medical care during epidemic or any other time. No victim of infantile paralysis must go without medical care because of lack of funds, regardless of thier age, race, creed or color. The advices said that if the advance is to be used in connection with epidemics, or individual cases requiring long periods of hospitalization, the Chapter's initial request should cover their needs for a period of thirty to sixty days. If additional funds are required, the same procedure should be followed. President O'Connor said checks are sent immediately upon request of chapter chairmen. In his message received here by Dan Marovich, California representative of The National Foundation, President O'Connor stressed the thanks of the National body for the generous response of the people of this State whose efforts have contributed materially to the more than twenty-nine million dollars that has been given in dimes and dollars by the people of this Nation since the movement was started honoring President Roosevelt, himself a victim of infantile paralysis. Applications for the month of July were 77 with forty-four of this number placed in rooms and apartments in Anaheim and vicinity. Of the number placed, seventeen were from Los Alamitos; twelvft from El Toro base; miscellaneous Navy, eight, and miscellaneous Army with nine. Other branches of service accounted for four other appreciations, making a grand total for the month of ninety-nine. Placements for the month were twenty-seven from Los Alamitos; nine from El Toro base; miscellaneous Navy, two; miscellaneous Army, two and from other branches, three, making a total of forty-three placements from ninety-nine requests received. All these were placed in homes in Anaheim and vicinity. The committee has reported that they are more than pleased and grateful for the splendid response they have received from the citizens and that the need is still great for housing facilities. The calls are becoming greater each day as men are being returned from war areas. In a great majority of the instances, the men have been away from their families for one and one-half to two years, and the effort that is being made in their behalf, means more than they can possibly convey to the workers in this splendid project. A great many of these people are native residents of California although many of them are from other states. Since a great many servicemen are being returned to this country from the war areas for rehabilitation and for recuperation from injuries and the many other ills suffered in this great conflict, it means a great deal to their welfare to be with their families during the early part of their road back to health. The greatest difficulty the housing committee is having is in the placing of families with one or more children, although they have been able to place a number of these families. They would be pleased to have more listings for these people. This project is one of the many volunteer war services that is being carried on here in Anaheim and is one that is worthy of the utmost support of every citizen who Miss Bloodgood had a very pleasing personality and was most efficient and trustworthy in the performance of her duties. It was regretted that she had to leave the employ of this office." Signed: M. J. Joyce, Lt. Col., Air Corps, Production Executive, Western Procurement District, Material Center in Los Angeles. Miss Bloodgood had made all preparations on entering the new therapy course at S.C. where she was enrolled in the supplied arts course, a course of study designed for rehabilitation of the increasing number of war wounded. The original class of 50 women, of which Miss Bloodgood was to be a member, will be directed by Prof. Margaret S. Rood, head of S.C. division to begin at the fall term of the university. The original idea of the occupational therapy, as the course is known, was worked out by Glenn Luken, a former instructor for many years at Fullerton Junior college, but due to illness during the summer months, he was unable to conduct any of the classes at S.C. At present he is on the faculty of that university and will teach classes in ceramics and jewelry making at the opening of the fall term. Mr. Luken is world-renowned for his work in this art, having studied and traveled throughout the foreign countries where this art is a national business, and has won a number of recognitions for his excellence in these arts.
