SIR,—Thank you for An Expense of Shame' in the March

26th issue of the Spectator. The Welfare Section of the Infantile Paralysis Fellowship dealt with 700 individual cases of disabled ex-polios last year.

Most of them just wanted a chance to earn their own living and to be enabled to take their rightful place in society.

Some progressive firms realise that a person with disabled legs is just as good at a bench, as an able-bodied person. The problem is to get them there, and some firms value the work of disabled people so highly that they have provided ramps for wheel chairs and other facilities for these workers.—Yours faithfully,
