ber into a smooth perfection-oriented
team.
And if we had an election for the
most generous, most cooperative, most
vital contributor . . . Strike up the Band
. . . Hail to the Chief . . . We’d vote
Foley’s ... it would be a landslide
victory for this fantastic merchandizing
genius, who, altho not even listed on
our Sisterhood roster, is going 100% in
furnishing magnificent sets, room deco-
rations, table favors, printed programs,
and most important, their incredible
fashion wisdom in planning and execut-
ing the most entertaining and informa-
tive fashion show to make O! Say U.S.A,
a Red-White and Blue . . . bursting
with success . . . old glorious afternoon.
Don’t get too excited . . . Just calm
down and hold your check (which will
confirm your reservation) for the day
the invitation arrives to O! Say U.S.A.
Then mail it quickly then wait impa-
tiently for the Donor that will go down
in history as the biggest celebration
since George Washington’s inauguration.
Sounds of Silence
The world of the deaf is a world that
only the deaf can know. Sounds? What
are sounds? The deaf read about them,
try to imagine them. But how can you
imagine a sound when you’ve never
heard one?
Well, maybe they do, in truth, FEEL
them — the way 13-year-old Glenn Hur-
witz does. Glenn is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jay Hurwitz. He has been deaf
since birth. In a moving, sensitive bit of
verse he writes about “THE WORLD
OF SILENCE:”
“The song of birds—what is it?
The rustle of leaves—can you hear it?
Can you hear the clock tick-tock?
Does rain really ‘pitter-patter?’
Do footsteps echo in the hall?
Is there sound to the bounce of a ball?
The ocean’s roar—the crunch of snow?
A babbling brook—a friend’s ‘hello’?
A baby’s cry—a cat’s ‘meow’?
The bark of a dog—the telephone’s
ring?
To me these should not mean a thing;
But I care—I CARE.
I feel the sounds I cannot hear.”
Can we, who hear, imagine utter
silence, and tell about it as vividly, as
warmly, as Glenn “feels” OUR world?
I doubt it; not many of us have his gift.
