FREEMAN JACKSON

«Jackson Family's "Outlook Brighter;

By RALPH CAMERON Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer "Surely goodness and mercy

will follow."

The Biblical p i1 r a s e comes easily to mind in watching the heart - stopping thankfulness of the Freeman Jackson family when they think of tile reaction of Islanders to their sorrow and loss.

It was just a week ago tllat all early - morning fire slaslled through their home to destroy everything they owned and take the life of their little son Carl who “would have been five ill

prll "

Since 1 h at disastrous day when a heroic 31-year-old moth- er wakened 1'n the early hours to a smoke-filled house a n d /r aekling flames to rescue sev~ #1 of her eight cllildren fr o m .he holocaust. filings have grad— ually brightened for the family.

DFSPAIR IS GONE

Happiness may not come for a long time to the stricken fam- tiy. but at least the black de~ spalr of a week ago is gone. Tlle sense of personal loss is still great. but it is no longer a feel- ing of total loss.

The Freeman Jackson Fund. started by The Evening Patriot the day of the fire. has changed the outlook of the family. It has

*FIRE FU N'D . given them hope. “With this we. i can start thinking of getting an- I

other house and having our fam- ' tly together again." Mrs. Jack- son said yesterday

Right now they are scattered with six of the children out at St Vincent's Orphanage: seven year-old Debra still in hospital “under treatment for cut. tendons

MR. AND MRS.

The youngsters have fun play- . ing in the rin at St. Dunstan‘s University. but “you n e e (1 stick to play hockey". Jimmy, said as he recalled that he had two hockey sticks “but they go burned in the. fire.

Mr. and Mrs. .Iaekson talked freely of their reaction in the response to the appeal for aid but said it had been so tremen- dous and warming “we hardly know the words to describe our 5 feelings with so many 9 o p e . digging into their pockets to ' help us."

They were particularly truicil ed by the stories of the lit tle kids coming into The Patriot of- fice to leave their few pennies— small in amount but tremen- dously large in feeling.

“A person doesn't realize how many friends he has until h c meets a disaster like this." Mr. Jackson remarked.
