i MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1934. PAOE FIVH! Medford Mother Knows Warm Springs Value to Victims Dread Paralysis By Eva Nealoti Hamilton. "If the public could only under stand that fwling, which comes when the first hope of recovery is given, one's child then tnere would be no limit to the response to a move to benefit the Warm Springs Foun dation. It Is a feeling, which cannot be expressed In words. It comes to those who have sought long and fu- tllely and then suddenly found the answer and somehow I feel the pub lic Is going to understand" With these Introductory words, Mrs. A. Holloway of this city recently accepted for Mr. Holloway and her self an Invitation to act as patron and patroness at the birthday ball for the president here next Tuesday evening. Yesterday she continued her story of the foundation and what It truly means In a sense of strictly human Warm Springs Is non-profit making, non-sectarian and has no lines of social distinction," Mrs. Holloway em- I phastzed. The chief expense Is that of reach ing the place and it is now the hope of the foundation to eventually estab Hah other units, where similar springs are located In Tarlous corners of the nation, the Medford woman said she learned while there. World-wide research Is constantly carried on, for Warm Springs Foun dation Is not exclusively a national project. The board Includes physic ians and specialists as far removed as Germany. The research Is con stantly aimed toward perfection of an Immunisation. Dr. Rhuruh, ex-president of the American Medical society, one of the leading physicians connected with the foundation 'was one time a pa ter Peebody, one of the. national sponsors of the dance to be held next Tuesday. Roosevelt alone, sponsored the foundation, until the project got well under way, giving to it much of his fortune. Another example of the president's personal desire to aid all afflicted humans was revealed yester day by Mrs. Holloway, In the story of the business manager of the foun dation, Pred Bolts, when he arrived at the station, the clerk referred to him as a "corpse" and asked the foundstion representatives to come and get him. Roosevelt was there at the time and Insisted that the man be given a chance. He took him in swimming, gave him the treat ments, snd today, Mrs. Holloway ex plained, to Botts. there Is no greater man in the world than Roosevelt. The patients receiving treatment at Warm Springs are people of all ages. When she visited there, Mrs. Holloway stated, at least two thirds of them were adults. "It Is the one place In the world she stated, "where they make the best of what is left." They coma from all cor ners of the world, but when Mary Prances was there she was the first registered from Oregon. Her case was one for which hospitalization and surgery could do nothing, but for which the treatments at Warm Springs did much. She has continued them consistently since leaving tnere and the one big ambition of the Hoi loways today Is a return trip to Warm Springs to renew that splendid mend ing of spine and legs, which began there two years ago. Forfeits S?S Ball Russell Royer, arrested at S a. m. today by city police on changes of reckless driving, forfeited $25 ball today when he fill ed to appear in Justice court.

"For anyone to refer to thla move aa a political one," Mrs. Holloway de el ared "seems sacrilegious to one who haa been to the foundation. Tm aura that President Roosevelt's In terest In this has never been any thing but humanitarian.. Me has learned through his own suffering tha need for this work. And I know Da la sincerely interested in every man, woman and child who has be eome, as he was, afflicted with poli omyelitis" (the scientific name for What Is commonly known as infantile paralysis). It was through Mr. Roosevelt that h Holloways first learned of the . work at Warm Springs Foundation, which led to the trip to Georgia. which has meant steady Improvement o Mary Frances, who had previously been told "there Is no hope." After Interviewing specialists In Portland. San Francisco and St. Louis, and receiving that same answer, the Holloways wrote to Franklin D. Roose elt. A personal letter was the Im mediate reply. It also annoimced that Mr. Roosevelt hnd written to the doctora at Warm Springs regard ing the little girl's case. Ho urged the Holloways to take Mary Frances to Warm Springs at once. They fol lowed his advice. "Had we only known sooner aha would be walking now." Mra. Holloway said yesterday. "Her Improvement haa been steady and definite since she spent those several months at the Foundation." "The place Is pervaded by a spirit Of happiness and hope. The patlenta are not taught to believe In miracles," Mrs. Holloway explained, "but In themselves, and are constantly urged to make the most of what nature has lft them, to live above their handl' caps. They are given everything their hearta could desire. Beautiful awlmmlng pools, where treatments are administered under water.

Holloway was for tunate In hearing him give a won derful paper on the disease. Dr. Hoke, th leading orthopedic physician and surgeon, gave Up a Ufa of luxury In Atlanta to devote all of hla time to the foundation. Miss Plastrldge, the head physlo-theraplst, formerly lived In Portland. All of this, Mrs. Holloway then ex plained, has been made possible through tha personal efforts of Presi dent Roosevelt, who was ths first per son to see In Warm Springs some thing greater than a fashionable resort. It all began, when, characteristic of a Roosevelt, he refused to accept no for an anewer to his request to go before the American Medical so ciety In the Interests of such a foun dation. He dogged the group until he got an audience. He waa refused entrance In the meeting, ao he cor nered prominent members In the hallway then Warm Springs Foun dation had its birth.
