If Interested Call— Life (ian Go On In Detroit years ago the local TB association inaugurated a program of aid to emphysema sufferers through loans of breathing aid equipment. In a dozen other cities, breathing clinics and home aid, similarly inspired, now improve the lot of many people formerly consi dered hopelews. In Jefferson County, Alabama, theChrist- mas seal association cooper ates with state health officials lai conducting an emphysema vo cational rehabilitation program that not only provides physical help but retrains patients and fits them for productive work. Medical supervision and re habilitation can make the dif ference between bleak misery and an interesting, useful life for the emphysema patient.
