HICKS In case small things are get- ting you down, and you wonder what you have to be thankful for, we are introducing you to a guest speaker, Mrs. Harry Adams, of Frewsburg, New York, who wrote us a letter a month ago which we have carefully preserved for Thanksgiving. She can walk now, with frequent rests, she has been able to dis- pense with her nurse, and she is gradually taking on again the work that she loves to do, making a happy home for her husband and her little boy, a fat farm dog and a dozing tor- toise-shell cat, Each morning she straps herself into a cruel steel cage which she cannot remove until she lies down at night. Mrs. Adams speaks: How one’s point of view does change in the space of sc short a time- How bright and dazzling the lustre of dull tasks, once taken for granted, when for six long months they have been forbidden! How ex- citing to wrest permission from that despot, the doctor, to perform that dullest task of all, darning socks! How long the patient waiting until the chance of. a disappointing re- fusal is past, how thrilling to take up the familiar routine, even from a chair on the sidelines, when one has lain on a ‘hospital bed for six months, with stern admonition not to even raise the head. How eagerly did I anticipate the arrivial of my new brace, so much more rigid and confining than the one I had worn for three years. That first brace, T had accepted with inner resentment and secret protest, fighting against necessity, but beaten on every count. But you see, wearing the new brace now means the difference btween taking the first wavering steps from bed to chair, and being doomed to a completely vegetable existence, This is far from my first long or serious illness, but it is one of the most painful and discouraging in a long history of ailments. My case is interesting to dodtors, but hias long ago passed that point of fascination for me. Tt is frustrating, for I love to work in my home, my church, and my community. Last fall under my eighteenth anaedthetic, I submitted to an oper- ation wihlich I confidently expected would end all my troubles. It almost ended me instead. I had barely re- covered from that when in Febru- ary I was struck another underhland blow, totally unexpectedly. Had not 5 MAIN ST., DALLAS 4-4506 DAILY: Tues. & Fri. 1-5 P.M.

Optical Repairs 2 EXTRA VALUE the doctor assured me that my spine would grow no worse, that the metal brace, tightly strapped, would ade- quately protect it? Why, ithen, this sudden and unbearable pain, this fever, this loss of weight? What new calamity had ‘befallen me, and through me, my family ? Surely, T reasoned, a short time and a few new wonder drugs, and I'd be well again. But my doctor shook his head. And iso, on April Fool's Day, peculiarly and ironically appropriate to the occasion, I was again admitted to the (hospital which I had left with such la feeling of finality in November, On Easter Sunday the doctor, who had steadfastly refused to grant permission, relented, and ‘the next day the ambulance took me home. There in my bedroom was a high metal bed with boards instead of springs, its rigor somewhat relieved by a foam rubber mattress. “How long, doctorymust I lie on these boands?” [About six months, with luck, was the verdict. But there must be no stolen moments of trying to sit up, not one instant of strain upon the spine, or ‘all would be lost, and helpless invalidism would result. I didn’t believe him. I could not have borne the looking ahead into six months of pain and utter bore- dom and endless expense if 1 had not been an incurable optimist. I went ahead from day to day, ex- pecting the miracle of health, know- ing that some morning soon I would feel the flush of renewed vigor in my limbs, and be able to rise and walk, It has been more than six months, land here I am, allowed to walk around a bit, graduating from two canes, to one, to none. I look back upon the six months with unbelief. I embrace the cruel cage ‘that keeps my back rigid and unmoving, I can- not stoop, I must sit with caution, I must not go up and down steps— but I can walk, I dan even go out- doors into the soft Indian summer air. How good the sunshine feels! Did it ever feel so good before? How soothing and musical the rustling of the reddening maple leaves. Surely there has never been such fall coloring, The cattle on. the far hills have never been so sleek and fat, so White against ‘the green. The starlings gathering to go south, chatter happily in the trees, their iridescent feathers gleaming in the soft sunshine. I give them my bless- ing and wish them safe conduct on their long flight, How delightful thiat my son’s pul- lets have escaped their yard and are sun-bathing in my petunia bed! How thoughtfui of them to scratch the petunias up by the roots where I can watch them, instead of re- maining obediently within their own confines where T cannot enjoy their pleasure. A wear ago their deprada- tions would have been an annoyance and an exasperation. But these are a special 44H project, and petunias are but ‘transitory, only a few flow- ers left, Will my new-found calmness last ? Probably mot. But having once more glimpsed the importance of enjoying the little everyday things lest they be snatched away, of examining dach small happening lest some facet go unnoticed or unappreci- ated, I shall try never again to let impatience rule. Never again will I let the routine of housekeeping turn me into an automaton too busy to see and ap- preciate (the day-to-day beauties with which I am surrounded. I shall remember that God’s in His Heaven, all's right with the world, if I but keep calm in my scul, if T accept those things which come tio me, not limply or in labjelct resignation, but as captain of my soul.
