He is a 1923 graduate of the Palmer School of Chiropractic. ______A year ago the Kentuckiana Children’s Chiropractic Center was established in what was once a shabby out-dated building leased from the United States Government. This was accomplished through selfless and dedicated efforts of a group of people led by a Louisville chiropractor, Dr. Lorraine Golden. Dr. Golden has modestly and tirelessly carried her dream into reality, and dedicated her efforts to extending hope and courage to “Dr. Ralph Stensel (above) checks Joyce Riley, a polio patient, with the handicapped children and their parents.

Contributions to the Center are tax free. Their policy is “THINKING TALL” and their objectives are: 1. To provide corrective Chiropractic care to every handicapped child whose parents are unable to pay for service. 2. To co-operate with all public, private and religious agencies; federal, international, state and local institutions and departments of health and education. 3. To advise and aid parents in solutions of their problems and to coordinate the efforts and activities of these groups. 4. To provide research data regarding the handicapped and thus contribute knowledge for assistance in the future. Professional services are given free by more than 50 outstanding Doctors of Chiropractic in the Louisville area. They have given their spare time for many weeks to help get the Center on its feet. The 255 members of the Ladies Lend-A-Hand Society have taken over many of the operational tasks. They have given their time generously and have contributed equipment in various ways. Two hundred dollars was given toward laboratory equipment, bucky and shield for X-ray room, draperies, sheets, and kitchen supplies. These women have worked tirelessly in fund drives to help further the “Dr. Lorraine Golden, director of the Kentuckiana Children’s cause. Chiropractic Center shows Dr. A.E.

Additional equipment and services are required at Kentuckiana to take advantage of added facilities already made available by the United States Government. It was indeed a privilege for Mrs. Lill and me to be afforded the opportunity of making this visit. We feel it a pleasure to be able to present to others our impressions of the Center. The worthwhile work being carried on here by these few will undoubtedly be of great value to many in the years to come, and should by all means encourage others to think seriously of contributing to the cause. The business management of this Center is conducted by a group of Louisville business and professional men.

At present, negotiations are under way to acquire more space. Kentuckiana is managed by a Board of fourteen Directors, half of which are prominent laymen in Louisville. President is Mr. Arthur A. Klein of the Mullican Company. They have achieved the status of a charitable agency, and have been successful in raising public subscriptions locally for the support of the Center.

Logan, Logan College of Chiropractic. ------Louisville, Ky. – The Kentuckiana Children’s Chiropractic Center in Louisville, celebrated the sixty-fifth anniversary of chiropractic in a grand way as the Lambert Wing was dedicated September 20. Five hundred persons including top local and state civic officials and national chiropractic luminaries were on hand to observe the occasion. The ribbon cutting ceremony was handled by Dr. Vinton F. Logan, St. Louis; Dr. Arthur G. Hendricks, Indianapolis; Dr. Lorraine Golden, Executive Director of the Kentuckiana Children’s Chiropractic Center; Mr. Ed Fawcett, Admiistrative Assistant to Governor Bert Combs; and Dr. K.C. Murphy, Louisville. With the opening of this addition to the Center, named in honor -“Faith and the mountain: the story of Kentuckiana Chiropractic of Kentucky oilman H.L. Lambert, a notable benefactor of the Center, Children’s Center” (pp. 12-3); text and many photographs, a new era in the care of Kentuckiana’s Physically and Mentally including: handicapped children was opened. The new wing includes a spacious Physical Re-development Department; a Research Department where records may be copiled and kept centrally on the progress of each patient. In addition, Psychology, Chiropody, Audio Visual and Sociologists facilities have been set up on a staff consulting basis with no actual care being rendered, but for evaluation of patient progress. Dr. Hendricks, Dr. Logan and Dr. Joseph A. Cataldo, representing the Atlantic States School in Brooklyn, were unanimous in their praise for the Center’s progress and the prospects for the future with the new departments and the great value of the project to the Chiropractic profession. “This Center personifies ‘togetherness’ in the profession with an object in view… providing a humanitarian phase of the development of chiropractic,” viewed Dr. Hendricks. “A realization,” added Dr. Logan, “of the profession’s responsibility as a servant of humanity. In addition, it is undoubtedly a giant stride in the direction of chiropractic unity.” Dr. Cataldo expressed great interest in the newly added Research Department, extolling the potential value of such a control of statitics and records. Center Officials estimate that 100 to 150 more children will be admitted to the Center in the next twelve months due to the additional services available and the increased facilities. “The increase,” Drs. Lorraine Golden and Dr. Roman A. Schmitt at the Clinic according to Dr. Golden, will probably begin with the admittance “They have been completely selfless in their dedication to a common cause,” he said, “devoting many hours of service to the work of the center without pay or hope of any reward except the satisfaction of having served their community and their profession.” “Dr. Golden herself spends an average of 40 hours a week at Kentuckiana. And it isn’t beneath her dignity to put on old clothe and help with the scrubbing and painting.” This idea of service without looking for reward is perhaps best expressed by Dr. Golden: “Service is the best public relations that the Chiropractic profession can ever have. We should never start any project with the sole purpose of getting something out of it as far as our profession is concerned.” “If the project is begun and carried out with the idea of serving the public – or a group of people in the general public – then it cannot help but succeed when it is pursued with the firm belief that it WILL succeed. “There is work to be done – much work – so there must be people Some of the children at the Center. to do that work.

Typical of the cases treated was that of Melinda Blanford, who, at the age of 10, had been given only about six weeks to live by her doctors. She was mentally and physically retarded, wasn’t eating or sleeping. She was subject to as many as 14 convulsions a night. The case, considered so hopeless, was referred to Dr. Golden at K.C.C.C. Said Dr. Golden: “She IS alive now, and we will try to help her.” Melinda underwent three days of extensive examinations – as do all prospective patients, before she was accepted as a patient of Chiropractic. She was examined by different teams of four doctors, each from different Chiropractic schools. On each visit she went through the center’s various departments: X-ray, X-ray analysis, neurological, physical examination, corrective techniques and conference. Conferences are held between doctors and parents once a week for four weeks following the patient’s admittance and once each two weeks in the next two months. Mr. Napoleon Hill Two and a half years after Melinda’s admittance she is eating well and sleeping peacefully through the night with no convulsions. She sits quietly now, the constant writhing of her body stilled. She notices things and gives some response. Her suffering has been relieved. Phyllis Burkhead 20, was admitted to the center in 1957 shortly after it opened, the victim of cerebral palsy. Her parents had taken her to many other doctors and paid large prices without receiving help. Phyllis can now get into and out of bed alone. She helps her mother was dishes. She has much less motion and her control and coordination at the typewriter have improved. Mrs. Burkhead commented: “This is the nicest group of people I have ever known. These people take more real interest in the children than anyone I’ve seen in any of the places we’ve been.” Thirty different types of conditions have been admitted to the center, of which 80 per cent were considered chronic cases. Of these, “Dr. Harris, Mr. Hill, Dr. Lorraine Golden, Mr. Stone and Dr. Lipke” 75 per cent have shown some general benefits; 60 per cent have shown some improvements. That is the story of Kentuckiana Children’s Chiropractic Center at Building T-10 in the Old Nichols General Hospital in Louisville, Ky. There some three-score chiropractors, aided by several hundred people “with a heart” are building a living monument to the trinity of Faith, Hope and Charity. K.C.C.C. is guided by a board of directors, half of them laymen. But all admit that the spark which keeps this charitable machine going full speed is Dr. Lorraine M. Golden, who has found it impossible to find the word “impossible” in the dictionary. Her strong faith, imparted to the others, has succeeded in moving and removing the mountains of obstacles which bar the road to hope for many children. -“Doctor Bill Harris; Albany, Georgia; A Digest personality profile” (pp. 4-5, 38, 40); many photographs, including: …Dr. Harris has greatly enriched the Kentuckiana Children Center of Louisville, Kentucky with his unselfish promotion of this outstanding Chiropractic Institution. He is currently conducting a series of “Do- it” days providing inspiration and practical advice to both doctors and laymen in the advancement of the profession with all proceeds donated to Kentuckiana. -“‘DO-IT’ DAY success at Louisville meet” (p. 20); includes photographs: “Mr. W. Clement Stone, Chicago Insurance executive with Dr. William Harris Director of Public Relations for Kentuckiana.” *** The “Do-It” Day movement originated by Dr. William Harris of Albany, Georgia, gained additional momentum March 18th and 19th when 1,200 laymen and 400 doctors from eleven states heard an outstanding panel of speakers at the meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Saturday Night preceding “Do-it” Day was devoted to a laymen’s meeting where Mr. Napoleon Hill author of the book, THINK AND GROW RICH (over ten million copies sold to date) captivated his audience with his lecture THE LAWS OF SUCCESS. On Sunday “Do-it” Day activities started promptly at 7 A.M. with a panel of speakers introduced by Dr. Harris. Included were such outstanding names as Dr. Edward Kramer author and lecturer of St. Louis, Missouri, Dr. Loraine Golden, director of Kentuckiana Chiropractic Childrens Center and Dr. Ken Lipke, Buffalo, New York, chiropractic author and writer. An unexpected treat for the assembly was the appearance of Mr. W. Clement Stone, President of the Combined Insurance Companies of America as well as three other large insurance organizations, whose topic was, The System That Never Fails. At the conclusion of Mr. Stone’s appearance, it was announced that an initial gift of stock valued in excess of $13,000.00 had already been presented to Kentuckiana by the Clement and Jessie Stone Foundation of Chicago. Following Mr. Stone on the “Do-it” Day platform, Mr. Hill told of his recent visit to Kentuckiana where he and his wife together with Mr. and Mr. Stone, personally inspected the facilities. “This (Kentuckiana) is the greatest step forward the profession can possibly take to secure public recognition and appreciation,” Mr. Hill said. His newest book GROW RICH WITH PEACE OF MIND is just now coming off the presses. An entire chapter in this new volume is devoted to an explanation of what Chiropractic care has meant to him. Since Mr. Hill enjoys vigorous health at age seventy seven, this is indeed a tribute to the science of Chiropractic. He also announced that all royalties from this book have been assigned for the first year as a gift to the children of Kentuckiana. Continuation of this gift in the years to follow will depend on how much additional support individual members o the profession contribute to this cause, Mr. Hill said. Local publicity was impressive. All four radio stations aired interviews and the T.V. stations devoted viewing time to the event.

W. Clement Stone, president of Combined Insurance Co. of America, recently visited Kentuckiana Children’s Chiropractic Clinic in Louisville, Ky., and was greatly impressed by the work being done there under the guidance of its director, Dr. Lorraine Golden, in rehabilitating handicapped children. Stone and Mrs. Stone were so moved by the great good being accomplished there through the volunteer efforts of the 66 staff chiropractors and the many lay personnel that they decided to do some volunteering themselves. Mr. Stone has assigned Napoleon Hill, a well known author and lecturer to help Kentuckiana Children’s Chiropractic Clinic raise money needed to complete the clinic’s building program. Hill, because of the seemingly miraculous recovery of his own deaf son through Chiropractic adjustments, was already a booster for K.C.C.C. and is dedicated to helping children everywhere, just as his own son was helped. Stone has assigned Hill to help Dr. Bill Harris conduct Do-It- Days under Chiropractic sponsorship throughout the nation for the remainder of 1961. Hill also has negotiated to have feature articles on the benefits of Chiropractic appear in the nationally circulated magazine, Success Unlimited. In connection with this, Hill and Dr. Golden have come up with a plan whereby K.C.C.C. will benefit through the sale of new concerning the need for unity in the profession, x-ray interpretation, subscriptions to Success Unlimited. Here, Dr. Golden is asking the and philosophy of chiropractic. He is available for other speaking assistance of chiropractors across the country who are interested in engagements, Dr. Womer may be contacted at 3702 West Fullerton furthering the service being performed by K.C.C.C.

Adelman Dr. Golden notes that the funds from the commission assigned to DC’s donation of VNT to Kentuckiana Children’s Center: K.C.C.C. through the obtaining of each new subscription will be used to help build the Chiropractic profession’s first children’s hospital at Louisville. Dr. Golden says she is sure that chiropractors who join wholeheartedly in this effort and sell subscriptions to their patients and friends will benefit personally. “Those who subscribe,” she reasons, “will show the Chiropractic articles to others. And this spreading of the Chiropractic story will increase the practice of the participating doctor.” Napoleon Hill has another plan which he believes will pay off in double benefits. A number of Chiropractors already using the plan have reported outstanding results. Here’s how it works: Chiropractors present each of their select patients with a copy of Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich,” in the paperback edition and suggest that the patient read it and pass the book along to at least three of his friends who have never had Chiropractic adjustments. Each book will bear the name, office address and telephone number Dr. George Adelman (left) is presented a certificate of appreciation by of the doctor who presented the book.

The historic fire at the Washington Hotel, no longer operating, in no way dampened the enthusiasm with which her idea was met. And, again Columbus, Indiana was the scene of the national $20 million fund-raising kick-off drive on January 19, 1964 at the new Holiday Inn.

A number of Indiana chiropractic leaders made up the Indiana delegation at their Indiana-Kentucky bridge Hands Across the Border meeting on July 14, 1963. It was evident at that time, Dr. Brown’s role in KENTUCKIANA’s future was in no way to be minimized. The episode is described in the MYSTERY RIDE carried under the August Central Office Report in the Hoosier Newsletter. Words cannot describe the tremendous job Dr. Brown has done for the profession in this respect… and it was done at his own expense, time and energy. An ally in the project, Mr. John M. Wells, editor and publisher of the Indiana Record Review and Labor Beacon, Muncie, helped the good doctor’s efforts spiral. Eleven months ago, Mr. Wells told the Columbus audience, he knew nothing whatsoever about chiropractic. Today he is the profession’s greatest booster. He has made the rounds in Indiana and Kentucky highlighting and putting the KENTUCKIANA story on a local level. Dr. Brown is convinced that Mr. Wells should be seriously considered as the liaison link between the profession and the union From left are Drs. Cranston C. Porter, C.F. Jacobs, and W.R.

He is a member of Local Chiropractic Association, authors “The ‘ANA’ in Kentuckiana” 287 and a co-worker of Cindy Beaty’s father. When Mr. Wells first (pp. 30, 32-3, 37); includes many photographs and: learned of Cindy’s plight and the results she received through ANA, or better known as INDIANA, the Hoosier state, figured in chiropractic, he jumped in with both feet to tell the world. He was no small way in the development of the great KENTUCKIANA responsible for the first feature story on Cindy and Kentuckiana Children’s Center in Louisville, according to Dr. Lorraine Golden, which appeared in the Muncie Star July 15. Cindy had served as a founder and director of the institution. In an interview with Dr. Poster Girl for another local charity drive. In all the local news Golden before her address to some 200 doctors from Kentucky, coverage, mention was never made of the part chiropractic played in Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio, she told the writer that it was in her walking. When the full story finally broke, the telephone received Indiana where she first revealed her idea to Dr. B.J.

He was the Muncie chiropractor who He said, “Lorraine, this is wonderful! You have the idea and I adjusted Cindy. Mr. Wells toured Indiana and some parts of Kentucky making many talks on KENTUCKIANA and in December appeared before chiropractic groups in Tucson and Phoenix telling the story. Thousands of copies of the special Indiana Record KENTUCKIANA issue provided by chiropractors has been distributed by union men to their members. As a result of Mr. Wells visit in Arizona, that state will distribute 50,000 copies of the KENTUCKIANA issue. Over 500,000 copies were handed out in Indiana. After Cindy was able to discard her wheelchair, Dr. Brown referred her to KENTUCKIANA for further examination and study for a hearing impairment. While KENTUCKIANA provided free care for physically and mentally handicapped indigent children, regardless of race or creed, the problem of how the child and her mother would live while Cindy underwent treatment had to be faced. Local 287 came to Cindy’s rescue, providing the first $300 for this expenditure. Since then a CINDY BEATY FUND has been created and is administered by the Merchants National Bank in Muncie under duly appointed trustees. More than $1000 has been paid into the fund. These personal experiences aroused Dr. Brown’s interest in KENTUCKIANA. He was quite certain many Cindy Beaty cases are repeated in other chiropractic offices across the land but was puzzled LIBERACE at the lack of action to get this center underway on a bigger scale.

This project is snowballing. Dr. Golden pointed out, “KENTUCKIANA is and always will be first and foremost an institution to care for the handicapped children of the nation.” There are more than 15 million handicapped children you and KENTUCKIANA can help. It is reputed to this number some 300 are added daily. Dr. Golden said, “you and I have screamed and cried, why do they do this to us? Why don’t they let us have the same privileges?” The profession has been given that privilege now in KENTUCKIANA. It is chiropractic’s for the asking. KENTUCKIANA is ready now. It has the outside personnel willing to work with chiropractors – a certified audiologist; psychologists; a retired medical doctor, etc. The federal government will assist KENTUCKIANA in any way possible. Dr. Golden said, “The federal government is truly your friend through KENTUCKIANA.” She and members of the staff have made numerous trips to Washington to confirm this and establish KENTUCKIANA so the profession will know where this institution is going.
