As permanent national muscular
dystrophy poster boy, his job was
to publicize the disease.
His drawings helped achieve
that goal, but they went beyond
it, too. They remind me that we
should all seek our job, work
hard at it, and do it as well as
possible regardless of difficulties.

said, “Did you advertise for a lost

It was an expensive purse and
contained more than $20. plus re-

cherished antique jewelry.
From his dirty bag, the man
pulled out my purse. Despite my
pleas, he refused to accept a re-
ward and wouldn’t even take a
bite of food or cup of coffee.

Sketch of Courage
A simple outline drawing of a
carbine rifle often lifts me from
discouragement. Despite its sim-
plicity, few drawings required so
many hours of painstaking care.

The patients got the “feel" of
normal living by singing, swim-
ming, playing games, and eating
home-cooked meals.
Doctors observed one woman
who after 20 years at Eastern
State learned how to swim and
dance and live again Another
woman who had not been able
to feed herself for four years
eagerly consumed a steak, French
fries, and salad, and chatted gaily.
We in Tennessee hope to de-
velop a year-round community
for patients approaching the time
for going home. It’s simple ther-
apy, but if we can provide this
informal, nonhospital setting, we
feel that we will be able to re-
turn our patients to their com-
munities with a better chance of
adjustment.— M F. Carmichael,

The Uufailing Medicine
New drugs have brightened the
future of our mentally ill, but
another medicine will always be
needed — human understanding.
The superintendent of Eastern
State Hospital in Knoxville, Tenn.,
recently demonstrated its potency
by helping a group of patients
bridge the gap between a long
hospital confinement and their
return home.
He took about 80 patients to
a camp site in the Smokies where
as little hospital routine as pos-
sible was maintained. The only
safety measures were those nor-
mally used on a camping trip.

I n 1933, when we were living in Oregon, several tran-
sients came to our door each day asking for food. Early one
morning I heard the usual knocking. It was an old man, stooped
and ragged carrying a dirty canvas bag over his shoulder. I
said “Good morning” pleasantly. He was silent for a moment,
then said, “Lady, would you give —--------------------------

For thrills—and spills! — bronco-busting
is a gome that's hard to beot. Cowboys
who participate have to have nerves of
steel and a constitution to match. A fa-
vorite spectator sport out West, bronco-
busting can also be seen in the rodeos
that tour the East. For more on this
rugged sport, see page 16. (Photo by
