1		The National Patients' Committee had two meetings in June. At the regular monthly meeting on June 6, Paul Rogers, of Warm Springs, was elected vice-president to succeed A. S. Van Horn, of Maplewood, N. J. L. L. Weeks, president, appointed a committee to study a change in the National Patients' Committee pledge. The committee has since recommended a pledge to read:

2		I hereby pledge myself to

3		1. Help the Foundation and others who are crusading against Polio.

4		2. Aid the growth of the Patients' Aid Fund of the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation

5		3. Spread the gospel that physical handicap of polio does not make one a "cripple."

6		4. To this end, I pledge at least two hours a week of my time while at Warm Springs or at least two hours a month while at home, to be devoted to the Committee's work.
