122 Thirty-Ninth Biennial Report The highest hopes for a solution of the cancer proble mare now being set forth by knowlegeable participants in the very extensive research program now under way in this disease. This research program is financed by the Federal Government, together with a large number of private and state institutions throughout the Nation wherever research programs can be carried out in a penetrating manner. These high hopes for an early solution of the second leading cause of death and the most refactory of man's illnesses, includes a belief that preventive measures will be made available shortly after the causative factors have been elucidated. Such a p/ospect makes all the more urgent an adequate program of treatment, where cure or marked improvement is possible, especially for all those who stand to die of cancer contracted at the very moment when its prevention is imminent. Long continuing disappointments for all these high hopes is not only possible, but probable. Biennial Report—Crippled Children's Section There has been no significant change in the programs supported by the Crippled Children's Section during the biennium ending June 30, 1962. There has, however, been significant change in the volume and cost of supports of the various handicapping entities. The cost of hospitalization increases from year to year with the yearly increases in the cost analysis per diems. In the calendar year 1960—clinic service was accorded 13,614 children with 25,665 clinic visits, 1764 were hospitalized for 18,568 hospital days and 1021 children were furnished appliances or prostheses numbering 1387. Total cases served were 14,693. In the calendar year 1961 service was accorded to 16,391 children, 14,896 receiving clinic service with 30,277 visits and 2041 hospitalized for 24,244 hospital days. 2774 appliances were furnished to 1361 children. The last quarter of each fiscal year has for many years found us short of funds and forced to deny or delay service or to depend upon such organizations as the National Foundation to assist in support or Vocational Rehabilitation which has frequently come to our rescue during lean months by accepting physical rehabilitation for those of our beneficiaries from 19 to 21 years of age. The end of the fiscal year 1961-62 found us with more than sufficient funds due to a considerable increase in our Federal Grants-in-Aid for the year and to extraordinarily large reimbursements from insurance and from families able to support part of the cost of treatment. The Section is presently supporting 45 orthopedic clinics, 7 Heart and Rheumatic Fever Centers and 4 Speech and Hearing Centers. It supports the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of hearing, only, in two teaching facility clinics and heart surgery in four centers. There are rostered for service to the section 158 cooperating specialists, 33 hospitals and 18 appliance dealers. In 1961 the prevailing entities treated were— Congenital defects (not otherwise coded) ......................................................................................2,650 Disease of bone or organ of movement (not otherwise coded) 1,702 Flat foot (congenital and acquired) ................................................................................................1.608 Polio residuals ......................................................................................................................................1,267 Clubfoot ..................................................................................................................................................1'211 Rheumatic Fever ..................................................................
