Not only is Wesley glad to | have his health back so he can work but he is particularly hl in heart at what he calls “the red carpet” which has been rolled out to him by all his patrons along the line of mail boxes. I recall when I was one of his' patrons how much inspiration I used to get from meeting him at our box from time to time. I am sure I express the feeling of all his pres- ent patrons when I say welcome back, and also the wish that his health may be continuing and strong for years to come. DISMAY AT VALLEY CREST Last Thursday when I began my rounds of calls through Valley Crest I found many expressions of regret from patients and employees alike at the news just released! about losing Dr. Kraft. We who have known Dr. Kraft's daily concern for the total welfare of his patients feel poignantly the announcement of his resignation. That very morning I had gone in to talk with him about the concerns of He gave me his full attention to this detail. That's the way he is. One patient told me some time ago, ‘Every person is important to him; that’s why we patients like him.” Another patient told me last Thursday morning, “Any of us can go to Dr. Kraft any time, and he listens to us.” I will not try to go into the causes of this catastrophe to our county. Editorials in the news- papers have handled that matter better than’ I could. Especially pointed has been the letter from Dr. Jule Ayer. My interest is that those dear people living at Valley Crest —that most beautiful Home of our | Country — shall not be suffering | for lack of intelligent, dedicated, | competent care the rest of their lives. Perhaps there is something radi- cal needs to be done in our County's | system by which this Home is managed. I'm not expert in such | matters. But whatever is necessary to ensure continuing care and quali- fied personnel must be done. FRIENDS OF MRS. HICKS Some of us remember the quiet suffering Mrs. Hicks went through some time back when Tom was taken ill, hovering between here and there for days. Then relief came and we were glad. Now dark- ness has gathered again and we feel for her. Fortunately Mrs. Hicks can see in the dark. God makes such eyes; some use them and some don’t. She does. But there is no anaesthetic for that kind of pain. She and Myra both know that. But I want them both to know they are never alone. Highest heaven is deeply mixed up in the lowest earth when there is suffering. MT.

THE DALLAS POST OFFSET DEPARTMENT Is One Of The Finest In Pennsylvania daughter of; DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA What Is T o Become Of Chi Chi? Strange that the fate of a monkey should emerge as a problem of such magnitude! But Chi Chi, as many people know (and a regrettable number have teeth marks to prove) is no ordinary monkey. She is not just another of the long line of unwanted animals who, over years, have found asylum in the Risley home — the countless dogs, and cats, chickens, ducks, canaries, sheep, parakeets. It seems that for years any person in the Back Mountain with a stray or pedi- greed pet for whom he was seeking “a good home” has headed straight for the door step of the Dallas Post. And any animal with a grain of sense has always known that once he got his foot in the Risley door he was secure against cold and hunger for as long as he lived. And so it was with Chi Chi! In fact, being one branch above the others on the evolutionary tree, Chi Chi sensed at once the potential of this animal alyssium and took full advantage of its comforts and conveniences. Time was when she was en- sconced in the front office of the Post with visitors to hiss at all day long, and even (on really good days) to bite if they ventured near her cage. In those days she was often taken out to perch on How- ard’s shoulder, her tail around his neck, to scour his head for who- knows-what? She might even be taken over to the House and priv- ileged to strain at the leash with teeth bared at frightened members of the family. And there was al- ways the exciting possibility that an amused Howard might release the chain that extra inch. But everything at the House has changed. And for Chi Chi too. Now relegated tc the basement, she sits there glumly in a corner of her cage, mostly alone; not of course suffering from cold or hung- er, but forced to accept food from those of us cringing humans who are willing to risk being scalped or disfigured for life in order to feed her. One ponders. Planning for Chi Chi’s future will not be simple. A good home was not difficult to find for the Powell's gentle well- mannered cocker spaniel, Buff, who at the 'venerable age of 14 is still sunning himself on a cushioned window seat in Easton. The mag- nificent red setter, Blaze (after several trials, to be sure) found a free-running place where it didn’t stands and - watches and - matter that she could never be housebroken. Forr the innumerable kittens of the unlovely but prolific Stripesy, amazingly all gold and all- black puffs of luxurient fur, there | was ‘always a welcoming lap and a stroking hand. There was space in someone’s coop for the last four of some child's Easter chicks grown disappointly into hens. Many others, of course, stayed on and became permanent members of the Risley household. The great mongrel, Rogue, and the keen doberman, Gretchen, both once mourned by Howard's pen, are gone. Also the faithful mother- cat, Stripesy. Still here, however, are the boxer, Lady, who was never expected to stay but wagged her posterior half into an indispensible place in the affections of the family. Granny's parakeet, Pretty Boy, with his eternally cheerful “Good morning,” still jolts the household — with or without coffee — into the day’s agenda. There are also the current Goldie and Blackie — “out of Stripesy.” ‘And ever present when one opens the back door, with his pleading eyes and enormous wagging tail, is Clarence. While he 'is said to have a home and a master and is, therefore, on a sort of a “Modified SLE EE ERE IE ET EE ESE EST Rear 29 North.

He is obviously next-in-line and a natural successor to Rogue. And Chi Chi. But Chi Chi is not like the others, Lady is quite content. to scratch her back on anybody’s extended foot. Pretty Boy still includes Howard's name in his prattle. Goldie and Blackie purr their gratitude for their warmed milk against any passing ankles. And Clarence has already assumed the duty of escort- ing Myra back and forth to the Post. No, Chi Chi is different. Oh, there are times when she becomes fiercely gay and swings into her wierd, fascinating dance of enticement for the benefit of a passerby. She deigns now to ac- cept a glass of milk from the in- trepid Granny's kind but cautious hand. But more often she strains at the wire of her cage and screams at us in hatred (or is it fear?) ready to bite and scratch, asking no quarter, giving none. Still again one comes upon her sitting in a corner of her cage, frowning in bewilderment, worry— a forlorn creature. Chi Chi is wise enough to know that her life is not the same, but not wise enough to understand why, or to realize—as, indeed, is the case with many a human—that it can never be the same again. Poor little monkey. What IS to become of Chi Chi? Fernbrook Richard Kubasti, son of Mrs. Vic- toria Kubasti, Garfield Street, Roushey Plot, is a surgical patient in General Hospital.
