Wilson Children Improving Slowly At Des Moines Hospital
The Bill Wilson family of Des Moines receives $1,000 in aid to cover hospital costs for two polio victims, Dianne and Larry, at Blank Memorial hospital. Larry shows progress, likely home by Christmas. Dianne remains largely in an iron lung with some chest respirator use. Local fund drives, Monroe County and Apanoose County group efforts, and National Infantile Paralysis Foundation aid continue, with estimates of at least $50,000 in nursing and hospital care and expectations the National group will fund the balance.
