Sister Kenny is very close

she took TO heart each little

Rosalind had made a short
on the Sister Kenny treatment
just before she was taken sick.
She had not only donated her
services, but she had paid for
the film. Every cent she could
get together Roz spent Tor the
sick children.
Then one fine day, out Of the
blue came an article berating
Roz for not making the mo-

and blaming her for its delay.

that when YOU meet people

eyes and that face with the

he had seen that article first
and kept it away from her, for
all her waking hours were
spent trying TO help, and on top
of that she had just made her
own short-well, it was just
too much. I didn't mention the
article to her. It is a subject
that the Brissons never want
TO come up in their home again.
Sister Kenny herself told me
Roz had done more to help her
in this country than any other
individual.

 Two theories were advanced by Fire Chief Altman as to the cause of the fire. One, that the hot sun caused spontaneous com bustion among some rags on the porch; and second, based on re- ports of two witnesses that they had seen dense black smoke com- irg from from the kitchen chim- ney before the fire started, that sparks or burning soot may have rolled down the tin roof and blown onto the porch. The only stove lit was Tn the kitchen, it was reported, which was turned low.
