MacArthur) “Though your sire was my mor- tal enemy, laddie. I'm no holding any srudze '8ainst ye, ‘Twero no fault 0' yours, Hector MacDonald; no fault at. all." The speaker was Old Niel, a Shepherd who had seen many years in the service of Ayr's wealthiest sheep rancher "and was a person of some importance in his own community. Just what had caused the feud between Old Niel and Peter Mau- Donald, i-Iectoi"s mother could not say. All she knew was that the shepherd's coolness toward her vanished with the death of her husband. She knew, too, that her only child, Hector, simply idol- ized the old man of the hills and that these two got together at every opportunity. Perhaps the faithful shepherd dogs, Buff and Rex. and the sight of the lambs playing on the hills. had something to do with the youth's desire to be with Old Nicl.‘ As for the shepherd, him- self, he showed or pretended to show great affection for the son of the man hc had despised in life iind maybe hated in death. Thus it came about that once every fortnight Old 'Niel would arrive at the widow's cottage to escort young Hector to his abode for the week-end. Some two years after the death of Hectofs father, the boy's moth- er died and he went to live with his bachelor uncle. As time pass- ed the shepherd's love for the orphan appeared to grow apace, and between them existed a deep friendship such f1! seldom is seen between age and youth. Young Hector liked to ape his old friend by stretching himself full length upon the ground while together they would watch the young lamps cutting up capers like a group of naughty children. Sometimes the lambs actually ran races; at other times they plagued their mothers by climbing onto their backs and then tumhliiii: over their heads in sheer dcli"lit, Again they would face each other in mock battle while the wise old ewes bloated their approval or chewed their cuds in silence. One day, while the youth was occupied thus, the old shepherd came and sat down beside him. Then. taking a ring from his fin- gerflhe passed it to the lad, say- mg: “My gift to ye, laddie. See that ye care for it, and when ye are old enough to wear it ‘twill bring ye a‘ the luck in the world. That ring, laddie, once belonged to Scotland's greatest wizard—Micli- aol was the name-and he had magic that nane since have ever Continued on page 9 . 0300- How Can I !!! Dy Anna Ashley Q.

But Summer is well beloved. I O I "If farm folks only had the time to enjoy it," James will say. forgetful that at every step of our PW“!

New York, as re- ported in “Survey" by Dr. E. M. Biuestone. Director of the Hospital. “There are some patients who must remain in the hospital be- cause of the nature of their ill- ness and their physical condition. On the other hand there are other patients who, after thorough ex- amination of a few days or a week. during which time the exact cause of the ailment is learned, could do quite as well at home. Instead of occupying a bed in s. hospital ward. he would, in a great. majority o! cases. be much happier and get well sooner under the care of loved ones and a visiting hospital physician." The results were excellent in lo far as the piitlents‘ recovery was concerned, and home care costs just one-fourth iiie cost of maintaining the same patient in hospital. This was during 1947. Now hc-me care under the super- vision of Bellevue Hospital, New York, during i948 is reported in the "Journal of the American Medical Association" by Drs. David Unterman, Arthur C. DeGrag and Henry E. Meleriey. “Home care per- mits earlier discharge of the pat-- lent from the hospital. Experience has shown that it. costs less to treat a patient at. home. which, while not llle prime motive. nevertheless is an ‘important consideration in hospi- tal administration when hospital ibeds‘ are scarce." These patients receiving home oar-e are not well enough to attend the outdoor cliriic, yet. sick enough to need hospital supervision. Cases of heart and blood vessel diseases stood first in the number of cases treated at home. "A careful evaluation of the pat- ients home and surroundings by the social worker was of major 1m- portance in deciding whether home care was advisable." The response of the family to the patient‘: ill- r1555 was equally important. There can be too much or not enough sym- pathy present. The decision to accept a patient for home care was made jointly by the physician and the medical soc- ial worker. Home care is a practical means of extending "continuous" medical ser- vice to certain poor patients for whcin no such provision otherwise exists. makes m emqulai Hot tron transfer p0 11-604 contains motif 12 by 12 and l motifs 2 by l inches with oomph" instructions. . to Needlework Bureau, town Guardian.
