The Story of a Womanls Kindness At Maritime School for the Deaf

HALIFAX. (GP) - The f..i.fc of Roberts Wadinan and Jean wm.

in the story of I woman's kind-,

neu. Roberts and Jean. blind Ind iieIf, have been the constant

charges of Louise Feron for 10 years. To them she has given her whole effort, just as she has done with countless others at t-he School for the Deaf here for more than I0 years.

Hundreds of children have come to Miss Farm to learn to appre- ciate the richness and wonders of the world despite their handi- caps.

Keen Students

Miss Feron's story is the story of her students. Roberta and Jean. for instance, were bewildered and frightenend when they came to her. At the Silille tiine Marjorie Go- linsky Joined the group through a special ariangeiiient with the Al- bertn government. Normally the school here takes only children from the lilziriiimes, but accepted the. Alberta girl because it is one of only run schools ill Canada that accept students who are both deaf and blind.

The tra.nir.g program is arduous and demands intelligence and pa- tience from both teacher and stu- dents. No kiioulcdge can come to the bl.iid and (lei; child except by the sense. of touch.

Patienily. cai'elu.ly, Miss Feron applies her knowledge and care Now the ion older g.rls have a wide range of lviiioivledgc, not only from what l.lPll' braille textbooks contain but also of the everyday zhmge of the city of Halifax. Each girl has a vocabula:gv as extensive I! that of the average high school Iiudent.

some rcsu.is of her teaching may be seen in an English composition Roberta uvote about a walk through the hoods. The girl. through the eyes and ears of Miss Feron, wrote about the ”gold and scarlet of the autumn." and the Wvhispering of the wind in the trees."

In another essay. Roberts gave her definition of light :

"We each carry our own light within us."

:...

During an absence of the farm- ers, this evening we came with the children to the new stables to assist them at the feeding- lwur there . . . Born and reared on a.fI.rm, we naturally lJwIyl had some knowledge of the food requirements of the livestock, our education being later extended ap- preciably to take in that which came to us from James' exemplary tuition.

Not that he ever (apparently) put much dependence in our abil- ity in this regard, other than to put it to use at such times in the long ago as he was confined to the house, I sufferer from some misery or another, or when his temporary absence from the farm left such duties to our care.

We had nuinberless opportunities to observe too his methods of feeding, especially do we recall now those nights, sweet to look back upon, when with the children snugly iii bed we came to hold light for him at the day's last round of choring.

And sometimes it was on a uinter night like iliis, mild and silent, with a gentle dark dini- niing the white-spread farmlands about. Or maybe it was with foot- steps crunching frostily and breath a white vapor, and we so glad always to come quickly within the warm shelter of the stables. And sometimes too vie have grown a mile inipatientr over James' meticulous uays as he stopped to clean uel the niangers before he would tnink of turning into them the I'i'lf'aSlllES of graiii-atldiiig a handful here, taking away one there until all was done to his complete satisfaction. Stopping to test a tying-chain: to m:ike sure a thinning halter-strap was intact; to appraise too the liyer of fat on the body of a fattening ani- iral . "You do it llkE this."

Mack the youiigest grandchild of the four smiled one day not long ago "ti'vliig" tne flesh of a hcifei we feared might resent for-re'iil'y his touch. "lhat's lino you can tell if tlic-res any tat there,” he offered.

Youih, Now Overseas, Exact: Promises From Two Girls

DEAR MISS DIX: The boy I love is oveise-as Before leaving he asked me to unit for him. Naturally, I said I would. although he will be none for two years. He wrote once. I answered, and heard nothing uitlier from him. Then I learned that he had asked another girl also .9 wait for him. I vii-cte. asking for an explmiation, and he replied that ..e had met her after he exacted my promise, was sure he loved hei. but would like to continue being friends with me. From the gene-:al toni- of the letter. such as the use of pa.ficular pet names, etc, I am sure he still loves me. I know the other girl is not being true to him-as I uould be. She dates other boys, but knows I won't tell. What should I do. PHYLLIS ANSWER: I"m not B scotiisaym. but I do believe you have a bet- ter-tlinii-rveii chance of wiiiniiig the ';:y luck. You must realize. first. that what. he was doiitg when he asked ihe oher girl to write. and wall. for him, was pruviclinz tiuo y-earls 8E'Cll1iK'i' for himself. Try to imagine what it would be like for you to be cut thousands of miles from home, knowing you wouldnii see any of our iniiiiy or friends, and would be doptndent on mail to provide I ci-serial tout-ii. Appai'eiiry he ll'.l5lll too sure that you would wait for ..in. so latched onto another girl for assumiice. Of course. he should have 3.-id more tiillh in you. but peihaps he has boy friends who were let tl'ilVl'l by their own girls. Two years is a long time to expect a young girl to go dateless. 'I'Rl'l-I COLORS WILL SHOW

Since the other girl obviously isn't the faithful type. it wont be long before her true colors become apparent. You are right in not tat- tluig: such behavior would lower you in tile eyes of the boy ills-lElid of limening his interest in her. Continue writing to him the friendly lol- iers he requested. It wont be easy for you. but getting the man you uant. isn't always a cinch. It usually takes a lot of forbearance and patience. But it's worth it, isn't. it?

DEAR MJSS DIX: Our home has been broken up three times in 12 years through my husband's drinking. I have gone back each time think- ing things would be better. I work and look after our little girl. I have tried every possible way to make our manriage a success. but have re- ceived absoluteiy no co-operation. My family, however, insist I should go back to him. Are they right to interfere in my business?

OLIVE R

ANSWER: Families may not have the "right" to interfere. but from time immemorial they have tried to. and until the end of time they will continue. Very often their interference is justified, and should be considered, but not in your case Struggling through life with a con- firmed drunkard is not 8. course to recommend.

VALUE OF VITAMIN 31.2

When the discovery of the won- derful body-building effects of

- vitamin Bill, the majority of phy-

sicians Ira prmcrliing it in all cases of I rundown condition and for the serious 'form of anemia (thin blood) in which both the red corpuacles and the hemoglobin tin these wrpuncleal I.re greatly re- duced (pernicious anemia).

Fbr I long time physicians prea- cribed vitunin 312 only by injec- tion as it salve better results than when given by mouth. More rec- ently several well-known and well- established drug manufacturers have been nianufacturlxig tablets and capsules of vitamin 312 that are taken by mouth as they have been able to overcome the factor in stomach digestive Juice which interfered with the building-up properties of vitamin 312 when taken by mouth.

What would appear to be an- other and even more simple method of using vit.a.min D12 is reported in American Journal of Medical sci- ences by Drs. R. W. Mbnto, J. W. Rebuk, and M. J. Brennan. What many of us forget is that the lungs are really outside the body in that the air breathed in comes immed- iately in contact with the 77' vessels of the lungs, One of the largest capillary (blood v.55,-i. beds in the body which contacts the outside air is that of the blood circulation in the lungs. Inhalatioii (breathing in this outside airi seemed to be a logical route for the administration of vitamin B12. in this series. crystallin B12 in physio- logical solution, without the addi- lion of a preservative, was utilized in two cases. In I third case 1,000 micrograms of crystalline B12 in 0.1 cc by volume of lactose powder was used for administration as I dust. The B12 lactose powder was administered by means of a dust inhaler. The patient was directed to take ten deep inhalations a; each administration at tlmP5 cor- responding to the usual times the injections were given. .

What were the results obtained by these research physicians"? Sat- isfactory clinical and hematological (richness in red blood cells and iron in the red cells) results were obtained in all three pafieiits. There was no objective tseen by the pliysiciam or subjective (fell. by the patienii evidence of poisoning or sensitiveness in the lungs.”

These physicians point out that while these results are encoura- iiig. they' present only preliminary observations as to the efficacy of crystalline vitamin B12 in the treatment of pernicious anemia and further investigations will coli- cerii the question of long-teriii maintenance of these beneficial ei- fccls.

This iiilnilation of dust contain- ing vitamin E12 by the blood ves- sels of the lungs should really give the same results as those obtained by the injections or the method by mouth with intrinsic factors which prevent the deteriorating effecls of stomach digestive Juice on vitamin B12.”
