Johnny,” said the nurser “We're going to see if we can't help you to use it.” “Leave me alone!” said Johnny, tucking the arm further under his| coat. “Johnny has had a hard time,” said the social worker who had brought him in. “He has had a crippled arm since birth and his sisters and brothers tease him because he can’t use it. He doesn’t seem to care about anything. He won't do his school work, and his Inferiority complex makes him morose and sullen.” “Look at this rug, Johnny,” said the nurse. “Wouldn't you like to make one like it? Here’s how you do it. You take these strips of cloth and weave them in and out on the loom. Braid them this way as you go. Re- member not to use your good arm. Use the other as much as possible.” Three Rugs for Exhibit. A few weeks passed. “That arm seems to be much bet- ter,” said the nurse. “You've made three rugs now, and we're going to send them to the exhibition in Cleveland.” “Oh!” said Johnny, “do you think Il win any prizes?” Johnny can use his arm for a good many things now. He's going to take vocational training and wants to go into electricity. He studies hard and his inferiority complex is forgotten. He's any boy's equal now.

To the casual observer, the small room in the basement of the hospital might appear a kindergarten or play room where children can wait their turn for massage and other treatment in the physical therapy department. However, the youngsters, seemingly at play, are in reality being taught to cure themselves. The little rocking horses, rugs, bags, mats and printed sheets of paper which lie about the room are all means to an important end. Physical Therapy Treatment. Patients treated in the occupa- tional therapy clinic are, of course, also given physical therapy treat- ment. Doctors and nurses massage the affected parts of their bodies or else supervise exercises which will effect a cure. It is the object of the occupational theraplst to teach the patient to cure himself. Mrs. Lena Hitchcock, who is n charge of occupational therapy at the hospital, says that she never makes any child do anything hé doesn’t want to do. To get the best results, a child must only do work in which he or she- is interested. Then they forget their affiictions and the crippled limbs get the needed exercise Occupational therapy has been in use for some time.

After the conference with Williams, the group adopted a resolution em- bracing a five-point program for con- tinuation of their campaign, includ- ing a proposed “mass hunger march” on the Capitol next January or Feb- ruary “if conditions become more acute and remain unrelieved.” Other points of the program in- cluded registration and -organization of all unemployed, with concerted action to provide them with jobs “or adequate direct relief.” Preparations to “enforce our pro- gram by means of local demonstra- tions, local stoppages and finally, if necessary, a general strike * * *” also were recommended. - South Gets Hospitals.

The other officers of the county or- ganization, which is conducting & vig- orous campaign, with glorified head- quarters, are Vice chairman, Mrs. W. C. Mitcham, prominent in parent- teacher association work; secretary, H. L. Taylor, & lawyer, and, treasurer, Keely Grice, in the oil business. Na- than M. Sharpe is in charge of ad- ministrative activities at headquarters, Ernest D. Grady is publicity chair- man. This organization “while realizing that the local field was entirely safe for Democracy” decided for the first time to wage a vigorous party cam- paign and get out the largest pos- sible vote. Four divisions were cre- ated at headquarters, co-ordinated un- der general supervision and with no overlapping.
