MUCH PUBLIC attention has been focused on the plight of veterans paralyzed as a result of injury or sickness growing out of the war. Every informed person J has read or heard about the voca tional and social renaDUitation work done by the federal govern ment on behali of paralyzed vet erans. But the spotlight of publicity should go deeper. The veteran does not want sympathy as he adjusts himself to routine life in our communities. He does hope that out of his personal tragedy will come a public awareness of a disaster that does not confine itself to war casualties. The Pilgrim Fellowship meet at Cortland Sunday afternoon and evening with Mary Domingo, Evelyn Lauritzen, Mariane De Craene and Patty LaRue, Vir ginia Elliott, Carol Jean Amb ler, Jack Norris and John Ran- nev was a splendid success. The , croun of youngsters were taken by Rev. and Mrs. John C. Pry- or, Mr. and Mrs. Charles V. Wallick and Mrs. Bonnie La Rue. The latter attended a sponsors group meeting with Rev. Oliver Powell who repre sented the Pilgrim Press of Chi cago. A group of high school students were there with their leader, Rev. Bauman, who is associated with Doane College. Group discussions were held on various problems confronting the young people of today and election of officers. After a fine supper served by the ladies of the church a short evening ser vice was held in the main por tion of the church. Rev. Oliver Powell gave a fine inspirational talk. Rev. Powell is the Nation al Secretary of the Pilgrim Fel lowship. A candle light service for the installation of the new ly elected officers was given by Rev. Powell and the out-going President, Marilyn Miller of Ashland. An offering was taken for the Christian World Mis sion. In the absence of a regular pastor since the death of Rev. G. R. Birch, Mr. Eldon DeVries was the general manager and host of the church. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Morris were home over the week end visiting with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

In the afternoon a tour of the nursery growing plots was held. Broadcasts were made of the meeting to be used in future meetings. At four o' clock a lunch was served to the visitors and plant personnel. If you are ever in need of p. cure for the "doldrums." wc of fer as a sure cure the following Lay members of the National Paraplegia foundation have been shocked to learn that every day three people arise from bed and move about freely the last time on this earth. For, before the day is over, those three will have been in jured or attacked by a disease that may prevent them from walking for the rest of their natural lives. At the present moment, there is little that can be done for these in dividuals. After the first acute phases are over, hospitals do not give them custodial care. There is little effort to make their lot hap pier or easier to bear. The medical advisory board medicine: Take an afternoon or evening trip with a group of young and carefree youngsters (in our case it was girls). Just listen to their laughter and songs, of which there seems to be no end, let yourself go and get in their mood of fun and gayety and you can rest assured that you are bound for a bet- ter outlook on life. Just to watch and hear their hilarious nonsense will dispel all thoughts of gloom and boredom. This is also a surefire remedy for those sleepless nights, as after an afternoon and evening of such you will be. so completely ex hausted from laughter that you won't realize when you go to bed. Such was our exhausted reactions after the trip to Cort land last Sunday. Thanks for the diversion, girls. Deforest-Lynn Magicians from Wichita, Kansas, presented a show at the high school audi torium on Tuesday of last week.

Marvin Friesel, member of the Weeping Water football team was injured Friday following the ball game, by running into the street in front of a passing au tomobile driven by Donna Mae Philpot. The boys had been chasing each other and Marvin in his hurry failed to look and see what was coming. By jump ing onto the front of the car he was able to save himself from possible, serious injuries. As it was he received severe cuts from the radiator ornament that required several stitches to close arid other cuts and bruises. The force of the impact was such that Marvin was thrown over the front of the car and hit the rear of another car, breaking off the tail light. A rally was held in the high school assembly Friday noon preceeding the calling of classes. "Veterans on the Farm" pro gram has been approved by the state department of agriculture. Aqcording to reports the pro gram will start January 1st.

Twenty-five veterans are the limit that can be enrolled. A Monday meetiner nf th Blue Bird3 and Camu Fire Giris leaders was held following a lunch at the J & M. cafe. The of the foundation Is deeply con cerned with the lack of re search into the physiological and bacteriological aspects of paraplegia. Lack of under standing hampers even the work done in the relatively fine facilities of the Veterans' Ad ministration. It brings to a com plete standstill the average doc tor faced with a case of civilian ' paraplegia. To make sure that today's utter frustration and sense of futility will not have to be faced by tomorrow's paralyzed person, the paralyzed veterans of America have organ ized the National Paraplegia foundation. meeting was held at Mrs. R.
