Paterson, N. J., Lodge Continues Its Work With Crippled Children

Since the inauguration of its first clinic for crippled children by Dr. Adolph Lorenz in 1923, Paterson, N. J., Lodge No. 60 has registered nearly 900 cases. Seventy operations have been performed which have resulted in restoring the ability to walk to at least nine boys and girls who theretofore had to be carried. Scores of others who had difficulty in getting about have had their disabilities eased by operations, and by massage treatments which help to reduce the afflictions and enable the prescribing of braces and other artificial aids. The Lodge maintains a trained nurse and welfare worker, and Dr. Paul E. Rauschenbach of the Paterson General Hospital is in charge of the clinic. In addition to treatments, the Lodge sees to it that proper educational opportunities are afforded the crippled children.
