Note:—Prof. and Mrs. Frey gave their permission to the Lancaster County Chapter For Infantile Paralysis to reprint the letter Prof.
Frey sent to his many friends and associates. The letter verbatim and in its entirety is printed below.

Take it from one who knows!
Last January 22nd, my wife Jean was admitted to the Lancaster General
Hospital with every symptom of poliomyelitis. Naturally, we held out
every hope that diagnosis would prove that it was not polio, but, with
one swift stroke, fate left her, a victim of the terrible disease. It all
happened so quickly that all of us were stunned in our tracks. Here
we were faced with the most important part of our family a victim of
polio and to make it even more exacting — one of the most serious
types — an iron lung patient.
Can you appreciate our position in our little family circle? Can you
appreciate the anxieties which we were forced to face? Can you appre-
ciate the many worried moments with three children, Allan 11, Chris-
tina 5, and Maria 4, for the most part too young to understand the
terrible transition? I can promise you that there were many sleepless
nights and many days of incoherent thoughts, for I had read of polio
patients — of iron lungs — of costly rehabilatory cases -— but, I had
never given it a thought that it could happen to us,
When the carly days of Jean's unfortunate ordeal seemed darkest, I
‘received a call from the Lancaster County Chapter for Infantile Paraly-
and even more, for the help is definitely continuing.
Jean was a patient at the Lancaster General Hospital until April 12th
when she was admitted to the Children’s Hospital at Baltimore, Mary-
land. The trip from Lancaster to Baltimore was most efficiently
arranged by the Lancaster Chapter and was an event which I will never
forget. On her admission to the Baltimore institution, Jean was a
cor tant occupant of the iron lung but with highly trained therapists
working incessantly, she is today able to be out of the lung with no
help whatsoever for a period of over two hours. Yes, indeed, there is
marvelous progress being made — slow, that is true — but it is progress
and the children and I are looking forward te the day when she can
once again be entirely on her own and come home.
This terrible ordeal which hit us was not only very painful for Jean,
but separated our little family, at least temporarily, and was a most
nerve wracking experience for all of us, And, too, it was a most expen-
sive experience — far more than most people are in a position to
meet. So far, a total of $12,000.00 has Been spent by the Lancaster
County Chapter for Infantile Paralysis in Jean’s behalf. The chapter

has paid every cent of all the expenses and I want my many good
friends and associates to know just that. I haven’t been asked to pay
any part of it — I haven’t been asked what I might be able to do in
the future — I havent been subjected to any “red tape” or financial
worries. The Lancaster Chapter has paid all the terrific costs and has
sent me the receipted bills. Many of my friends and associates have
asked me time and again, “Is it true that the Polio Chapter has paid
all the hills at the Lancaster General Hospital and at the Baltimore
Hospital?” My answer is in the affirmative — The Chapter has paid
everything, amounting to, as I said before, better than $12,000.00 to
date and promises many additional thousands of dollars necessary for
future care and rehabilitation for Jean. There is no telling at the
moment just how long this expense will go on and not once has the
Chapter even suggested that it would be necessary to curtail or termi-
nate such wonderful financial aid.
T would be most ungrateful to the Lancaster County Chapter for Infan-
tile Paralysis if I did not tell you, my good friends, of this outstanding
community health project and I would be most ungrateful if I did not
try to reciprocate, in some way, for the financial aid given the Frey
family in a most trying period. So, I felt that with your help we could
create a JEAN FREY POLIO FUND, to replenish a badly depleted
polio fund here in Lancaster.
Enclosed you will find a self-addressed envelope which 1 sincerely trust
sis — from Mr. Christian C. Rudy, chapter chairman, first of all extend- you w.il use to help continue this fine community service. I will per-
ing his personal interest and thoughts in our plight and then offering sonally acknowledge each and every contribution made on Jean’s behalf,

call meant to me and the family. And right here I would like to tell charitable contribution on this year’s income tax return. Checks should

P. S. What prompted me to write you is that I only very recently learned
that the records show there were 106 polio cases so far this year here in
Lancaster and that better than $125,000 has been spent here in Lancaster
city and county for polio this year and that the chapter is facing a
$20,000 deficit. That’s the reason I felt I'should ask for your support
to the local polio chapter. Jean heartily joins me in this appeal — not
so much in our personal interest but as a security against the future toll
of polio. Remember: respects no group or individual!
