Rehabilitation fdr the Disabled

3y HERMAN N. BU’WUIN, M.D. WHEN the physical aspects of j a d’.sability have been coped with,' the physician tries to rehabilitate 1 the individual so that he may again become a useful and productive member of society. This is true no matte? how major or ‘minor the handicap may be. Not only his physical health, but also his emotional health, and that of his family, depend on good or bad rehabilitation bf the patient. Age Factor j i • There are factors that determine whether he will again be abld to care for himself in a productive way. If an individual is healthy at birth and is disabled before the age of thirty, the chances of compensating for the disorder and achieving gainful employment are good. « p ! The older the person, the more difficulty he has in adjusting to his handicap. HoWever, if a person is disabled at birth, h< often has a more difficult time in successfully obtaining a job. The More Intelligent Os course, the higher the intelligence of the person, the easier it will be for hiin to obtain employment. Many s. disabled person is forced to u:>e his thinking

The light! are | warning signals to motorists of S danger ahead and they should not be removed for the w-ant of a ? Halloween joke. The highway department reports that roadblock signals were carried away from a bridge- site in Blue Creek township and that the approach was s left unmarked by the thoughtless- ? ness of the pranksters, ConsiderS ation for the other person should £ lessen the desire to inflict injury | on someone. | Lugano Meeting:— I The United States, Great Brlts ain and France have extended an | in-Vitation to Russia to participate ? in a meeting of foreign ministers t on November 9, at Lugano. SwitJ zerland. The agenda would inI chide discussion of a peace treaty f fo'r Austria, unification of Ger- ; many and consideration of how to J assure peace in Europe. Secretary ; of State Dulles said, the Lugano | meeting might lead to talks on I the highest level. ■; Russian rejection of the invitaItion to the conference would make plain to the world that their talk about finding peaceful ways to settle East-West differences is 3 just talk: If they do less than ats gtend the conference with a sin|cere desire to iron out the problems which have created the present world tension they will have |to assume the blame for making impossible. J It should not be believed that 'the conference will accomplish » miracles, even if the Russians do < attend.

People ' with moderate or slight handicaps usually do not have as much difficulty in this respect as those ’ with more severe handicaps. Rehabilitation Services Modern hospitals are now i equipping themselves with Re- ; habilitation Departments that j teach Individuals how to regain t functions lost by disability. They 1 are taught to use whatever powers it they have left in order to seek > I gainful employment. »| Os course, a very important factor is the emotional attitude fthe person has towards his 111’ijess. Most people do very well in J achieving Independence through work if they have the emotional ’jwill to overcome the shock of _ I their disability. | QUESTION AND ANSWER | Mrs. O.: Can a dark brown mole {cause any harm if not removed?

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN BY THE TIME the elevator stopped at the floor occupied by the office of Spencer and Charles, and she saw the large black letters of those names on the door, that old feeling of fear was clutching at her heart again. She felt ,both hot and cold. Humphrey Charles made short work of her dismissal. He said that he had warned her what to expect. He didn’t care to have the name of his firm mentioned again in connection with hep indiscretions. He said he didn’t think she was the type of girl he cared to have in his organization. He handed Nancy a check for two weeks' pay. That night a gossip columnist hinted of the coming engagement of a prominent young millionaire and an exotic, black-haired newcomer from the east who had become an interesting new figure in the city’s Gold Coast set That night Nancy received a note from Linda Van VIleL Would Nancy have luncheon with her at the Colony Inn tomorrow at two? When Nancy arrived home at the usual time on the day that she lost her job she was humming snatches of a gay song. Mother Kelly gave her a quick, searching glance. “It seems to me you’re pretty gay for yourself tonight.” Nancy's song was a bluff and she knew it. She was acting. She was whistling in the dark. Her mother, with that sharp intuition of mothers toward their children, knew it and Nancy knew she knew it. After Humphrey Charles had handed Nancy a check for two weeks’ pay, she had been overwhelmed with an impulse to tear it into bits and fling it into his face. Instead, she had taken it, taken both the check and his cutting remarks because in that instant between the time he had held the check and the time that she had taken it from his hand, a succession of pictures went flashing through her brain. Proud as she might be, there was the picture of Benjamin Stiggins, the landlord, calling for his rent that very night. proud as she might be, £here was the picture of her father, sitting in his stocking feet, getting gloomier and gloomier with the reports each night that he had found no work that day. Proud as she might be, there was the picture of herself desperately snatching every edition of every newspaper to scan the columns, “Help Wanted, Female.” She had taken the check and she had rushed from the office without bothering to take a few personal belongings from her desk, a box of powder, some finger nail polish- She even left a new pair of rubbers and an umbrella.

Pete, the elevator man, tried to make conversation on the way down. She wanted to scream, “Oh, Pete, shut up.” She conquered the impulse and replied mechanically to the fact that it looked as though a storm was coming. Sfie didn’t know what she was saying. She only knew that she had to get off somewhere by herself and think. A few minutes later she found herself in the reading room of the public library. She couldn’t remember how she got there, or why she went there. . Something in her subconscious mind must have told her that there it would be quiet. She could try to think things out. She took a book from. the shelves. She sat with it open m front of her for half an hour pretending to read before she was even conscious of the title. It was “Heaven's My Destination,” by Thornton Wilder. It brought an ironic smile to her lips that mirrored the thought: “1 wonder what mine is?” Her questloh started a new line of thought and she pursued the idea of one's destiny so intently that she forgot her surroundings, forgot everything but her own determination not to sit passively by and let destiny take whatever course it would. She slammed the book shut. “I'll make my own destiny.” The slamming of the book and Nancy’s declaration that she meant to be a whisper, but somehow came out a most audible statement, startled the bespectacled librarian who had been arranging books behind Nancy’s chair. Nancy hadn't heard her silent approach. i The woman jerked. She had nerves written all over her. Her fingers started fluttering about her throat in Zasu Pitts fashion. "Oh, my, you frightened me so. What was it you said?” “I said one’s destiny is what one makes it I’ve just had another battle with myself and I think I’ve won.” \. The bespectacled one’s ja w dropped. “Wh-a-a-a-t ?” “Oh, nothing. I’m sorry I frightened you.” Nancy left the building, her mind set on one thing. She would not announce the loss of her job at home that night. She had two weeks' pay in her purse. Two weeks in which to find another job. Two weeks of grace. She would keep up her spirits at any cost. She reflected that Moira and Sam were out of town. They had gone to New Orleans. Sam was following the races. Well, all the better. Even if she didn’t g’et a job in two weeks, she would be saved from a lot of Moira’s gabble. Nancy spent the rest of the afternoon at a movie. How strange it seemed tq be in the theater in the daytime. It was filled with women. Nancy pondered upon how many of them, like herself, might be snatching at a few hours of es-

cape before they faced realities again. \ The movie was over before her regular quitting tihie—what had been her quitting time. She walked home to kill time and timed herself to arrive at the usual hour. She had started to sing as she entered the bouse and had been met with: |*lt seems to me you’re pretty gay for yourself tonight.” Her mother nodded toward a letter lying on the table beneath the crocked lampshade. a letter for you. It’s got satne awful fancy writing.” Nancy picked up the letter. The envelope was of heavy, expensive iihen. It was addressed in bold, vertical strokes, with little circles instead of dots above the i's. It struck Nancy as being studied sophistication in penmanship. In the letter Linda Van Vliet said that she had something to toil that Nancy ought to know about, and she thought the Colony Inn after the rush of the luncheon would be a quiet and pleas, ant place in which to cat. She said she knew Nancy would take a half holiday. Nancy read the letter, her mother’s curious eyes upon her. “Who's that from Nancy found herself telling her mother, the person she loved dearest in all the world, another fib. "Oh, it’s just another ad. Some neW stunt they call personalized advertising. There’s going to be a s&fe. They make the announcem«nts read Like personal letters. It'| a form of flattery in advertising they’re using now.” Mother Kelly resumed her rocking. |H-u-m-p-h. If that ain’t nonseftse.” Nancy agreed that it was and hurried to her bedroom, where she re-read the letter, tore it in two ami then held the pieces together to re-read it. gibe remembered her decision that one’s destiny is what one mikes it Perhaps this letter was a link in the chain of her destiny. She decided to accept the invitation. He intuition told her to be on her guard. Linda Van Vliet was sitting In a booth near the fireplace of the almost deserted Colony Inn when Nancy arrived. She was dressed iirblack and with that Duchess of Windsor simplicity. She knew hqw to accentuate her good points, and Nancy knew IL She spied Nancy. "Oh, Miss Kelly, I’m so glad you caftie.” "Thank you—what is it ?” “Won’t you have something ?” ”Tve had luncheon, thank you.” She hadn't Wot even a pot of tea?” Well, if this was going to be a catfest it might as well be over “Yes, I’ll have tea.” (To Se Continued f

Ford Urges liberal U. S. Trade Policy Tariff Reduction Is Urged By Ford .
