in The Bronx.

sammy Ginsberg OF 1921 Union ave-

deal of fun. He is just 8, an age
at which most little boys are interested
in everything that happens tremendously
exciting and when they can hardly help
having a good time. But Sammy is
deaf and dumb. lie hasn't lived long
enough to be able to express himself
in any way but with his eyes. No
one but his mother understands him.
No one else ever knows what Sammy
wants or what he would say If he could
talk.
Il always has been difficult for the
little deaf and dumb boy to find any
one who would play with him. The
other boys call him ''Deefy." and say

and cry. He can cry wall--ne has had
so much practice at Il. In fact. he finds
Il very hard not to cry all the time.
But Sunday afternoon Sammy deter
