RIDING ARTHRITIS Community Chest. The above scene, showing help bel given to two men in need of assistance, HARRY F. MILLEN, President of the Canadian Branch of the Canadian Artnritis and Rheuma- tism Society. Salvation Arrays Welfare Work Supported By Community Chest By PAT LOGEMAN The work of the Salvation Army in Canada for years has always been to give both material and spiritual aid without distinction as to race, creed or circumstance. No organization so well combines the work of the hand and heart. No organization is more worthy of a place in the list of agencies participating in the Oshawa Com- munity Chest. EE Nr There are more than 100 Salva-, them useful citizens. The rehabilii- tion Army centers in Cahada where | tation of released jail prisoners is the troubled, the weary, and the |an important part of its work. The poor are given the help t'° 'y need both for body and In Oshawa, the Salvation Army under Major Gilbert Dockeray car- ries on a welfare service of which both the resident and the transient may avail himself. Major Dockerary often wanders how all the vagrants and tramps passing through town know that the white house behind the Salva- tion Army Hall is his home. Some days as many as 20 destitute men travel the well-beaten path door. They are given free meal tickets to a local restaurant in the hopes they will keep on moving. Some older men are given jobs by the Salvation Army, such as renovating old furniture. They may be too old to work elsewhere, yet they make useful once more old cast-off materials which the Army can use. CASTOFFS FROM SOCIETY The Army in turn takes the cast- offs from society --drun's. iail- birds, and wanderers and makes Army finds jobs and homes for men who might, on their own, be root: less and purposeless. It enables to stand on their own feet those who might, without help, only crawl through life. Whole families are sometimes thrust into the Army's capable arms. In a large city, an Italian famil, of ten was evicted after the customary six months' notice. They found themselves and their furniture on the street with no place to go and no money to get 'his | there. The Salvation Army heard of their plight, and quietly moved in. They found temporary lodging for the large family and had their furniture stored until a permanent home was found. Troubles like these aer settled every day by the Salvation Army.

MORE SOUL BENEFIT Although the service is being well used, there are still many sufferers from arthritis and rheu-| matism who do not know of the help it can extend. From Decem- ber 1952 until the end of July this year, the mobile clinic gave a total treatment is being given. Rest, heat treatments, massage, exercis- es may all be advised in varying combinations. Over a long period of time, medi- cal authorities have found that the sooner expert advice is sought upon arthritic or rheumatic condi- ons, the sooner recovery will be possible. In practically every case, the treatment given by the local travelling clinic has met with good | results. ihe clinic in Oshawa was origin- ally sponsored and financed by Oshawa Rotary Club but this year a Board of Directors was named and another method of op- eration worked out. : Officers of the Oshawa Society are: Honorary President -- A. G. Ctorie; President -- Harry Millen; Vice-President -- Dr. A. F. Mac- Kay; Vice-President -- A. S. Hill; Secretary -- D. H. Moore; Treas- urer -- John G. Geikie. RESEARCH PROGRESS In they three years since the founding of the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society, progress has been remarkable, in promoting research, in professional training, | in treatment facilities and in pul lic education for the control of Seumatie diseases. The Society epen argely upon public good- will and public subseriptions.

A modest scale of fees -- a slid- | ing scale according to the need -- is charged, but the nominal fee never exceeds more than $3. Pen- sioners and others on low incomes are not charged unless they care to make a voluntary contribution. Therefore, the remaining finances to operate this essential service are , made up from Community Chest contributions. However, the service is provided to all, irrespec- | tive of their financial status. INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION An integrated program of phy- siotherapy is pursued by Mis Lind- say, each treatment designed to suit the individual need and to complement whatever medical ry is like this: a patient or the mobile physiotherapy units are operated by provincial branches of the society. With more public and government support, these services will be extended. It is the society's hope that in the foreseeable future there will be an adequate supply of treatment centres in Canada to take care of all who need them. To meet the shortage of physi- cians with training and experience in the teratment of rheumatoid di- | seases the society provides clinical fellowships to physicians for post: graduate studics. To d~' ~ nadian doctors have been enabled to take pos. the United Kingdom, United States and Canada.
