The disease has been called the Let George do it syndrome. When untreated, the disease has a very poor prognosis and can be terminal for the society. assuming epidemic proportions in most major cities. Smaller cities have shown some immunity, but the disease has been identified in even the smallest rural community and has been documented nationwide.

This treatment, when undertaken by the patient, has proved beneficial both to the individual and for the community.

WAS purchased from private ownership in 1758 by the city of New York, and donated to the Federal government in 1800. Liberty Island, together with nearby Ellis island, constitute the Statue of Liberty National Monument which was created in 1924 by congressional action under President Calvin Coolidge. On this 12 acres island stands one of the largest sta- tues in the world. It was originally christened Liberty Enlightening the World, but is known today as the Statue of Liberty,.. It was a gift from the citizens of France made in commemoration of our Cen- tennial of Independence, along with their own first century of freedom from oppressive rule. THE STATUE, as a gift, was first suggested by Edouard de LaBoulaye, a French historian and jurist who was born in Paris on Jan. 18, 1811. As a staunch sup- porter of democracy and friend of the United States, his views were expressed in one of his volumes titled The Political History of the United States. He conceived the idea for the statue while serving as Director of the College of France. LaBoulaye died in ing. He selected the site of Bedloes Island before he began his gigantic work in 1874. Bartholdi died in Paris on Oct. 4, 1904. The huge figure is fabricated with copper sheets cover- ing an iron skeleton. The framework was made by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel who was bom in DiJon, France, on Dec. 15, 1823. He became famous for his design and construction of the Eiffel tower which was erected in Paris in 1889 for their Centennial celebration of the French Revolution. HE collaborated with LaBoulay and Bartholdi in the creation of the statue. Eiffel died in Paris on Dec, 27, 1923. For the project the citizens, of France raised $250,000 which was pooled with the $280,000 raised by the people of the United States. It was shipped across the Atlantic in sections aboard the French vessel Isere and arrived in May of 1885. THE FINISHED work was by President Grover Cleveland on Oct. 28, 1886. It stands on the old dedicated foundation Fort Wood which was erected on the of island in 1841 and later torn down. The dimensions of this world famous land mark are enormous. The 300 sheets of copper covering the framework weigh about 100 tons. It is a figure of a lady, draped in graceful folds, standing on a pedestal. Her right arm is stretched aloft holding a torch. In her left hand, Paris on May 25, 1883 without seeing the fulfillment of his dream. pressed to her side, is a law book bearing the inscription July 4 1776.

He began his career as a painter, but later turned to sculptur slavery. The base, on which the pedestal rests, is 65 feet high. The pedestal is an addi- the broken shackles dilemmas fade tional 90 feet. IT IS 151 feet from the sandals to the top of the torch. The arm holding the torch is 42 feet in length. From the mean water level of the bay it is 306 feet to the top of the torch. The statue proper weighs 225 tons. Its cost was $800,000. On the grounds by the base are administrative buildings and dwellings for the local employees of the National Park servipe. The American Museum of Immigration was opened to the public in the base in 1972. THE UPPER level of the pedestal is reached by elevator, and 2 spiral stairways ascend from there to the crown. The torch is accessible from the crown by an inside ladder which is too steep and narrow for public use. The crown will accommodate 30 people and there are 25 viewing windows in the circumference. Around the outside are 7 spikes representing rays of light. It is a stirring and majestic sight for those aboard incoming ships. EXTERIOR floodlights were installed in 1916, and both the torch and crown are illuminated from within. The light in the torch comes from 14 huge lamps shining through leaded glass with an intensity of 14,000 watts. EMMA a LAZARUS, Jewish translator and poetess, was born in New York City on July 22, 1849. In 1883 she wrote a sonnet in honor of the statue which she called The New Colossus.
