Mr. Lewis semt me a tear sheet from “Pictorial Living.” apparently a mazazine section of the New York Journal American, which carried a story “She mothers the waterfront’, written bv Wambly Bald. | wrote to Mr. Bald for Gladys Kadish's ad- dress. then wrote to her and find she still remembers her. ‘‘be- loved Prince Edward Island"’ with deep. appreciation. MRS. KADISH’S stationery ,sarries the title » ‘Seamen's Church Institute of New York and it’s loca at 25 South Street. Her office on the second floor of the 13-storey struct- ure has “Personal Services” on the door, and that’s what the attractive lady from Iris—see picture on page 3—tries to give those lads who come to her for advice and assistance. Many things can happen to a sailor far away from home, but Gladys Kadish usually finds a way to help. Here are a few paragraphs from the story Wambly Bald wrete after visiting the Institute and talking to her personally: -~ Gladys Helps.In Many Ways “GLADYS KADISH. a tall hearty woman with a soothing amile. labors with almost maniacal diligence for her boys’ wher they have problems. She sees about & men a day. You get the impression that she'll de anything but break her neck te help them “Did a guy get drunk and lush-rolled. and need a little as- mstance”? Is he having wife. or girl-friend trouble, with the law breathing down his neck? Maybe he's trying to locate missing relatives after heing away at sea for a year. Or he needs someone odin opt his records for Social Security. or Internal Rev \“He mizht require..ppgpital care too, or re- firement to some, “old men's res§ home’? Or maybe he's just ’ hefocced by ness and wats: semetae te sit down and talk with him.” That gives_you: an.idea a the, ‘versatility of this warm, frendly lady with the charming smile and a warm heart. Here is seme more of the same. again’from Mr. Bald: “& GUY in a jam needs a lawver and a friend. She'll get burn a lawyer. and she'll stay around to be his friend. The sick in Hospitals get her special. attention. frequent visits in the evening to check on their comfort. But Gladys Kadish doesn’t just visit. she brings books and candy, and the news a guy - Wants to hear about his shipmates.” There are some people who occupy a desk or fill a chair at spots like the Seamen's Institute — I've met a few of them ‘ im my time. But this lady puts all of her personality into the jeh to which she has given her life. If the Institute can help the visiting seamen Gladvs Kadish sees that he gets that help. and she adds a warm personal touch that makes the service more deeply appreciated There are many sides to the assistance available at the Institute One of them provides articles of clothing for those whe need it. “Rut if it's only a shirt a chap wants in a hurry, or mayhe a pair of shoes, he'll find them right in Gladvs Kad- ish s office It's quicker. and easier this way” the lady behind the Personal Services desk explains. “I've got shirts in all sizes here uhvy should thew haye te ge rummaging around for that?” the asks with an understanding smile Love Letter Written For Sailor THERE'S MUCH more to the Bald story but I want to add fast this bit Just last week” she told the New Vork writer.” a big seowlinc bruiser from one of the oil tankers came in here and sami ‘Gladys. have you cot a minute’ and he showed me some- thins he had started to write te his girl It was only about four tines but He was stuck.

For this reason the attempt at a very | late hour to have a favourable vote considered as support for a particular method of market- ing hardly appears to be good While it is now nearing. the end of April, winter still keeps the province. Frosts at night and a consider-: _able accumulation of snow at least in half the province is cer- itainly keeping the situation fr resembling anything like spring. The almost complete ab- sence of frosts in the ground means that the melting snow is being. absorbed with practically no run-off. it also means that the ground will firm up very rapidly. | Where clover fields have bar- ed they look promising. gener- ally the situation appears fav- ourable for grass and hay.

Dr. Michael Shea demon- strated the technique to eve spe-_ cialists in showing how surgery | for fixing detached retinas. and removing cataracts can he fa- |cilitated by freezing a tiny por- tion of the eye. The freezing technique was first developed in Rome in 1935 and since the Second World War. a method employing liquid nitre- gen for freezing was developed jat Cornell University, Ithaca, ny. The tool used by Dr. Shea. lens | cumbersome than earlier meth- | ods. was desizned and developed | by Dr. Shea and Ralph Cruttip, | president of Frigitonics Com- pany of Connecticut. Using freon gas as its cooling agent, the tool is a blunt metal probe that creates an ice hall on the part of the eye’ to he treated, making it easier for the surgeon to remove a cataract or fix a retina. Dr. Shea uses the instrument for. an average of about three cataract and seven or eight de- tached retina operations a week. | Some earlier cases of detached retina can be treated on an out- patient basis instead of requir- ing a week or more in hospital.
