About Our Crippled Children. 11-9-34
(From the desk of Mrs. Parman, chairman of Cowley County Crippled Children's work.)
ROTARY SERVICE STATION By Helen Woodman Skillfully constructed braces to ease and support twisted little bodies, stout carefully adjusted crutches to help guide trembling, shrunken legs, and comfortable built-up shoes to fit crippled feet are expensive things and there is despair in the hearts of parents when these necessary appliances are outgrown or become broken. Fortunately they may turn to the Arkansas City Rotary club, which operates what Mrs. Parman terms, “an up-to-date service station for all parts needing repair."
This ever-ready, unquestioning assistance dispenses with the customary red-tape and renders immediate help in these emergencies.
Foss Farrare has for the past four years understandingly administered this “service fund" for Rotary.
The local club became interested in crippled children's work seven years ago, about the same time the Kansas Society for crippled children was formed. Un-
til the state assumed the task of rehabilitation Rotary hospitalized many local cases—but the waiting list was so long and growing. After the law was passed the club continued a “follow up service," for those they had aided by caring for their equipment. Children dismissed by Capper’s and the Shrine were soon included in this list.
The club also makes it possible for crippled young people to continue their education; it provides needed glasses, pays the special fees, and otherwise aids them in becoming useful and self-supporting citizens.
Building u p undernourished bodies, preparatory for orthopedic operations; providing special medicines for crippled children, who are ill; and paying for quick repairs on appliances for those
