It was fortunate for the two men that James A. Balslcy 603 Johnston avenue, returning home from work, heard their cries for help as they tried to extricate themselves. Balsley had put his automobile in the garage when he heard cries for help.

Investigating, he saw car tracks lending over the bank. Training his flashlight on the swollen waters below, he saw the machine. Balslcy summoned firemen and policemen. A winch truck, was rushed to the scene and pulled the car a short distance toward shore whereupon Balsley waded into the cold stream and assisted in removing, the' two occupants, suffering from shock and cold. While the water covered the front end of the car, the rear was' not submerged and the men immediate danjjer of drowning.

Not Proven In of all Ihia the net results arc hat in this epidemic the pntienti ire neither better nor worse so far as final condition is concerned than patients in any other epii cmic. It has never beta proved tl at Sister Kenny's patients art in better shape than those whc did not have the opportunity of her. treatment.

There is hardly a doctor North An orica who believes in the treatment. She is at loggerheads with the Motional Foundation. A Comjnittc i of the American Medical Astiof visiting sixteen clinii a and examining 740 patients, 06 of whom had had the Kenny fa uatment, reported that "there if no evidence, that the Kenny tr iatmcnt prevents or decreases tle amount of paralysis." All thlt of course, is pure tragedy. ors are not taking this attitude rora perverscness. Most of them ive-kids of their own and the shade of this horrible disease falls on hem as well an the rest of the 'ulation: they would welcome a are like the rest of the world.

To sun marize the Kenny treat- ment and where ita opponents say it fails: Infantile paralysis- is a paralysis and a paralysis ia inability or failure of a muscle to move. The muscles in your legs, arms, abdomen, neck, face, each have a nerve attached to them and when 'the nerve is stimulated the muscle contracts. The nerve has its origin in a central cell in the spinal cord in the anterior part of the gray structure. No matter how far away the muscle it serves is a fiber from this cell makes a continuous connection. In Infantile paralysis the poison, or viruis, strikes at these anterior horn cells destroys them.

That is the conclusion of every pathologist who ever examined a case. The is naturally spotty, hitting muscles depending on what central cells are destroyed. In a leg there may be three or four paralyzed muscles, and other healthy ones that are in a state of spasm, Thegc muscles in spasm naturally pull the limb out of position. It is Sister Kenny's belief that the spasm of the muscles la what makes the disease. And that the proper treatment is by hot packs to calm down the in spasm.

Her concept of "menial alienation" is that though a muscle has nerve paths intact to the brain it is somehow unable to perform its customary functions. Under the idea of "incoordina-. tion" she tries to teach the para-' lyzed muscles to move again. As said above, the Kenny treatment does no harm, except for the false hope it raises. So it will probably continue to be used, I don't know anybody who will object to that, provided no burdensome financial expenditures are imposed to carry out a potentially hopeless method of treatment.

The real hope lies with those laboratory workers who are trying to find a preventive serum.
