STATUS OF OPERATING FUNDS FOR THE DIVISION O F SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN (42) The Division of Services for Crippled Children, _since_ its establishment as the official medical care agency for crippled children in Illinois, has recognized polio patients as an eligible category for specialized services under its program. This responsibility is recorded in the official state plan which documents the organization and operation of the Division and which is filed with the Children'; Bureau in accordance with regulations of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, relating to federal matching grants. During the early years of the Division, polio patients formed a major group receiving attention and represented a substantial portion of its expenditures. With the increasing success of the fund drives of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (now_ officially known as the National Foundation), the burden of providing financial support for most polio patients was shifted, beginning in the late 1940's, to the National Foundation, It was the Foundation's declared policy to meet the needs of polio patients through the funds raised in the annual "Marcli of Dimes" campaign and thereby supplant tax funds for the same purpose, wherever possible. In the state of Illinois the National Foundation's county chapters accepted this obligation and continued to provide the major financial support for treatment of polio patients throughout the 1950's. During this period, the Division of Services for Crippled Children expenditures for polio patients decreased from approximately $200,000 in 1952 to approximately $10,000 in 1959. Medical care planning for over one thousand polio patients annually was carried on through statewide clinics maintained by this Division with financial support provided by the National Foundation chapters. The Division of Services for Crippled Children funds were used only when a given chapter could not provide further support, usually due to exhaustion of its locally collected funds. Subsequent to the development of the Salk vaccine, the National Foundation experienced some changes. Its annual drives for funds became less successful, and have produced considerably below their expectations each year. This decline in fund raising on the part of the National Foundation reflects a public ima|e of poliomyelitis as a disease that has been conquered. In part, perhaps, the declining fiscal support may be related to the change in the name of the Foundation and its changed purpose announced approximately two years ago, its current name being "National Foundation," eliminating "for Infantile Paralysis."
