First crippled children's clinic under new Kansas law
The first crippled children's clinic under the new Kansas law was held here yesterday. The aim is to ensure no Kansas child in need of treatment is allowed to grow up less than physically fit. Douglas county receives a fund slightly over $4,000 from the initial tax levy to start the program. The law's practical implementation will depend on experience, but aligns with the concept of a better-ordered state.
