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.

own little daughter, Mary Prances,
who found that first spark of en
couragement at Warm Springs, Oa.,
Just two yeara ago thla month.
"For anyone to refer to thla move

el ared "seems sacrilegious to one

It was through Mr. Roosevelt that
h Holloways first learned of the

which led to the trip to Georgia.

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

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

Mrs. Holloway explained, "but In

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

Two years ago Associated refined the gasoline for the car of
today. It then recognized aero-dynamics as the keynote of auto
motive progress. Associated identified the new principle of this
gasoline with the name FLYING A AERO-TYPE Gasoline.
The air-smooth power of this fuel was no chance discovery.
FLYING A was just one logical step forward in a policy of prog
ressa policy that regarded the essence of leadership to be doing
things, not claiming them. As evidence of that leadership!
ON THE PACIFIC COAST...
ASSOCIATED OIL COMPANY WAS
First to introduce Ethyl Gasoline;
First to recognize a need for equi-fractionatingthe proper bal
ance in all performance qualities;
First to market a gasoline climatically correct for each locality;
First to feature octane stability;
First to add TETRAETHYL LEAD to a non-premium gasoline.
What that means to you we'll leave to the motorists who use
FLYING A. Ask any one of them. Whether he drives a new
wind-borer, a wind-streamer, or an old wind-fighter, he's sure to
say, "FLYING A is certainly smoother and quieter than any
other gasoline I've ever tried."
Try it yourself. There's 1934 air-smooth performance for every
car with the smoother, quieter flowing power of FLYING A. Sec
what it means to your car when TETRAETHYL LEAD is added
to a gasoline as good as FLYING A,
