WHILE the energies are keyed up to enterprise and initiative, it is probable that it may all be to no purpose. There is likely to be opposition from all quarters. with disagreeable situations and lack of cooperation affecting all effort and tempering the will to succeed. judgment is not dependable in the making of new contacts. Litigation could follow a bad mistake.

A snug-fitting abdom- lnal belt will give relief in manyl of these cases but in severe cases” surgical removal of the disc is nec-y rssary. which gives immediate re-5 llcf from backache as pressure is removed from nerves issuing fromi spinal cord. In backache due to injury. the pain is relieved, vmoily! 0? In Dart. by hing down in the Position most comfortable to the patieht. This way he is able to Lake the pressure off the nerves, Ibove mentioned. Rest and wearing Ibdominai belt also helps this type of backache.

In Research Reference Bulletin. Issued by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Dr, Wil-l iian T. Grecn and .Viiss Margaret: Anderson state that a frequent cause of backache is the difference between the length of the legs, the commonest cause of which is poliomyelltis - infantile paralysis. "Differences of three-elghths to one-half inch usually cause not back pain or other symptoms in most persona.

"Differences of one-half to three- quarters inch cause symptoms, although the difference often can be made up by a raise to the shoe. The larger the lift, however. the more unsightly and awkward lJl'i3' Ihoe becomes and the more diffi- cult to manipulate since the shoe must. be worn on the side that is not only shortened but paralyzed to varying degrees."

In severe cases surgicul treat- ment becomes necessary, either lengthening the shorter leg or Ihortening the normal leg. In the adult this operation is compara- tively easy and safe and result ap- pears to be satisfactory in' most cases.

In the child. the growth must be

taken into consideration. the method most used being to bring the -longer leg into lincar align- ment with the shorter leg and then destroying one of the "growing" ends of the long bone. slowing down the growth on that side so that the length of the two legs would be about the same by the time the child stops growing. At the Children's Medical Cen- ter, Boston. there have been 147 cases Where growth of bone was arrested or slaoltened on 105 pat- ients with polio. In 35 per cent of these the result was within one- half inch of the predicted or ex- pected outcome.

Grandmother Active Leader of Political Party

By MAX McMAHON

The first woman ever to lead a recognized party in Quebec politics is a 53-year-old grandmother. long interested in womenls progress.

Mrs. Therese Casgrain, recently elected leader of the Quebec sec- tion of the C.C.F. party, has been known for 20 years as a tireless champion of women in Quebec.

she played a big part in obtain- ing the franchise for Quebec wo- men in 1940, and in helping to bring about legislation the follow- ing year which allows women to practice law in that province.

It was Mrs. Casgrain. too. who made sure that the Federal fam- ily allowaiice cheques were made payable to mothers-not fathers- in Quebec.

when the first cheques were about to be mailed word leaked out that for some reason it would be the fathers who would be re- clpients in Quebec. Mrs. Casgrain stumped the province, hounded Federal officials and organized .i flood of protests to Ottawa. Her campaign lasted only three weeks but when the cheques came out. later than those for other parts of Canada. they came to the women.

"Positive" Approach

Mrs. Casgrain joined the C. C. F. three years ago because. she said. she felt the party had it "positive approach" to social questions which fitted in with her way of thinking.

She had not always had socialist leanings. In 1942 she was In Inde- pendent Llberal candidate for the Charlevoix-Baguenay seat in the House of Commons. which her late husband. Mr. Justice Pierre Caegraln. had vacated on his ap- pointment to the Quebec Bu crior Court. Her father. sir R lphe Forget, earlier had held this sent for 13 years as is conservative.

Mrs. Casg-rain didn't win. but was second in I field of five. losing out to Frederick Dorion. Indepen- dent Ind veteran of politics.
