"I'm thinkinlz. mother" be before we are ready to commence it. And if we delay it. well. when we come to the last of them they'll be pretty tedious to do. I never in my life saw such growth!" A song- sparrow perched in a vine beyond the open door, a trim personable fellow trilled a run of notes, the lyrics of which we fancied intrigu- ing. He sang of the new summer- time, just come and lying before us in a silken shimmer of heat above the pulsing fields. Full of life and hope were the lines. with not a thing about death. How could there be, with every tree and meadow and field vibrant with it? And tiny ex- pectant nest? COO "It's a song sparrow" we com- mented. settling ourself in the old place at table opposite to James. "He has quite a song - for so small a. fellow" James observed. "He has nothing much else to do these days" we offered. The sun beamed on the tiny uplifted head, but the vine cast a cool shadow on the floor of the porch beneath. "I bet he's tell- ing her: 'Now don't you worry your- self a mite, dear. All you have to do is hatch them. I'll carry them loads of insects and worms. And won't they be the fine lads! And remem- ber you're the girl for meZ' " James smiled, sprinkling sugar on his helping of lettuce and adding vine- gar drop by drop to lend it the re. quired and pleasant piquancy. "She would know that without words. It stands to reason" he continued "if he built the nest and settled her comfortably there. he wouldn't have to declare his affection for her over and over again. If she has any brains at all" James nodded "she would know that herself. What would he take her for in the first place - if he didn't have a liking for her? Don't you see, Ellen?" "All the same" we offered with conviction. letting our eyes rest on the soft green of a. hayfieid on the opposite slope, in which Mr. C's two mares lolled "knee-deep in June", "she likes to hear it again!" "And that's all very well" James nodded "but if she were as buy as he she wouldn't have time to be worrying over such slur .' "Now. listen" we giggled " I'll walk beside you' " he sings, but he doesn't indicate the length of time! "And I'll fetch fare for you and the small fry. I'd show you this minute if I could just find my confounded cap - this heat is hard on a fel- low”: head! And where did you say was the best place to find the juici- est worms? Yes. that's what I thought you said! And would you go by the lane or across the lawn? Dear me. I reckon that's a. twinge of rheumatism I have in my shoulder!" "Humphl" James said. pushing back his chair and coming then to enjoy a few precious minutes with his newspaper in the old armchair. "I couldn't commence to pick all the daisies that are open now" granddaughter declared today." "Nor the buttercups. or clovers! But the dandelions" she sighed. "do you know what's happened to them? They've changed their yellow in whitel" "Listen: iwhat do you do when your hair grows white, and the children come to play? They take me up in their dimpled hands and blow my hair away!" Grand- daughter nodded and smile broad- ly. "I did!" she said. ' Until tomorrow - - Diary - - TEE GUARDIAN JUNE 28. 1951 That Body Of Your: By James W. Barton, MD. i E S AIDE5 OF THE IIIENTALLY RETARDED 08. BACKWABD several years ago I wrote about a new occupation that challenges strong men and women who wish to devote their lives to helping the unfortunate patients in state and mental hospitals. Aside from pro- viding a living. this work is of great interest. as those engaged in it are rewarded by the progress of the mentally retarded children and adults in their care. The movement to enroll mental aides is sponsored by the National Assoc tion for Mental Health. Toda thousands of aides are en- gaged in this work and a competi- tion to find and reward the most outstanding Aides is held yearly throughout the United States. The purpose of making these awards is to focus public attention on the need; of the 1.500.000 mentally re- tarded people and to recognize the efforts of progressive aides in in- stitutions for the mentally retard- ed who. in enlightened day-to-day work with their patients. are help- ing to improve the quality of the care and training throughout the country. Retarded mental development is essentially similar, as far as body processes are concerned, to ur- rested or retarded physical growth. Children mature normally to a certain age. then cease to mature any further. There is no set age at which maturity stops in all cases precisely at not all normal or adult lntelligences are equal. Despite this, each retarded indivi- dual can be helped through spec- ialized and sympathetic care and training to make some use of his capacities and with skilled friendly supervision become a working member of the community. Retardation may be the result of injury or disease before or after birth or may be the outcome of factors which future study may reveal. The winner of the highest award was Miss Eileen Bunyan. Monsoon State Hospital. Palmer. Mass.. who came to this hospital five years ago and found a group of children who lived secluded lives. fought fre- quently, had slovenly habits. and had to be locked indoors.
