PILLAR TO POST
By MRS. T. M. B. 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

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.

THERE’S NO SHORT CUT to achieving fame for the world’s longest hair,
as Tatiana Cocuzzo, of Catania, Italy, will tell you. It took time and
patience to achieve her three and a half feet of “crowning glory.”
Combing it out to full length at left takes three hours. Braiding it
(right) is a task that requires the aid of her mother. (Internationdl)
