Her arm and parts of both shoulders are becom ing increasingly calcified, which means change of the muscle tissue into a hard stony substance. This somber-faced child is the tragic victim of dermato myositis, one of the forms of rheumatic disease. Another form is rheumatoid arthritis. The majority of people don’t know that children suffer from arthritis; they believe mistak enly that arthritis afflicts only the aging—someone’s grand father or grandmother, surely not the very young. But there is urgent reason today why grownups and par ents especially should be intel ligently informed about arthri tis among children. Dr. William S. Clark, director of medical care of The National Founda tion, whose expanded program embraces arthritis, birth de fects and continued work in polio, said this week: “Rheumatoid arthritis is a type that can make children very ill indeed. They may be come severely crippled. Their joints may ‘freeze.’ Happily, we can now demonstrate today that with proper treatment and care, most of the crippling caused by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can be prevented.” But the cardinal point. Dr. Clark emphasizes, is that thou sands of children have rheu matoid arthritis without know ing what the disease they suffer from really is. Their parents may dismiss the aching in neck, knees, wrists or elbows (or, more rarely, in all these joints simultaneously) as “growing pains”; or for a vari- Want Ads WANTED TO BUY WANTED TO BUY USED PI ANOS TOP PRICES PAID.

Ga CITY ELECTION Election for Mayor and Councilmen will be held Wednesday, October 4, 1961. Candidates are required to qualify before September 19, 1961. T. J. THORNTON, MAYOR r Nine-year-old Christine Versluis must hold her right arm in this awkward upright position because it is turning into hard, stony substance. But there's hope for her in research sponsored by The National Foundation. ety of other reasons, the right । diagnosis is not made. “We now estimate that in the United States, more than 50,000 adults who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis had their actual onset of the disease in childhood,” Dr. Clark added. “Had they received modern treatment at that time, most of the crippling in maturity could have been prevented. That’s one reason why The National Foundation’s program in ar thritis and patient aid for the young is so significant.” Child victims of rheumatoid arthritis are estimated to total 30,000 in this country alone, with 16,000 a year ill enough to need medical care. About 5,000 or 6,000 of these may re quire treatment as intensive as the rehabilitation needed for those stricken by paralytic polio. There are at least 11 millions in the nation today who suffer from some form of rheumatic disease, including arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis victims Veterans Asked To Cooperate Before microfilming pertinent information on veterans insur ance records for safeguarding a gainst disaster, the Veterans Ad ministration is asking veteran policyholders to cooperate by providing it with up-to-date bene ficiary listings. “Even though veterans may not wish to change the benefici ary or option designations cur rently on file with the VA, they are urged to fill out the form being sent them and return it to the VA anyway. It’ll reassure them that the VA has their cor rect choices and help us greatly in the new program,” Harry W. Piper, Acting Manager, Veterans Administration Regional Office, Atlanta, Georgia, said. If, on the other hand, some change has occurred in the vet eran’s family so that his designa tions should, and have not been brought up to date, this is his chance to make this important change, Mr. Piper further ex plained. The form is in duplicate and if both copies are returned to the VA, they will be validated and an official copy returned to the policyholder for attaching to his policy. The last beneficiary designation on record with the VA is binding, therefore, it is important that veterans notify the VA of any changes or additions of benefici aries promptly to avoid insurance proceeds going to undesired bene ficiaries. Mr. Piper pointed out that, un der the law, a last will and testa ment will not serve to make a change of previously designated beneficiaries for government in surance. He added that the law gives GI policy holders the right to change their beneficiaries at any time without the consent of the prior beneficiaries. “Microfilming the records for compact storage in damage-proof depositories along with other vi tal veterans records does not mean that future beneficiary changes cannot be made at any time,” Mr. Piper emphasized. Since GI poliicyholders have several different options as to how the insurance shall be paid and making certain that all de sired beneficiaries are included becomes somew’hat complicated, veterans with any doubts are urg ed to take advantage of the help of experienced people in the VA offices.

The dis ease is the nation’s No. 1 crip pler. To return to Christine, the little girl with the arm and shoulders turning into a stony element, she is receiving treat ment at the March of Dimes supported Arthritis Study Cen ter at the University of Roch ester School of Medicine —one of four National Foundation arthritis centers around the country. Her doctors hope they are slowing the advance of calcification but the outlook at this time is not certain. Uncertainty, then, is the dis quieting prospect facing this little girl. Her mother, Mrs. Eugene Versluis, hopes that if enough people support Nation al Foundation research, per haps in time Christine’s right arm will fall back where it belongs and the stoniness will disappear; and that eventually the appalling figure of 30,000 children with crippling rheu matoid arthritis each year will decline.
