Home After Long Polio Fight,
Mother Calls Herself Boss

There is a cheerful household
intact again at 1921 Rowalt drive
in College Park, Md, where Is
months ago fate struck a dis
couraging blow.
Back with her husband and
two children after nearly a year
and a half in hospitals-and the
avowed "boss" Of the family-is
happy Mrs. Betty Sullivan. "a
She was brought to the hos
pital with polio on July 81, 1852
Five and one-half hours after
she was placed in an iron lung
she gave birth to her son. Kim
at District General Hospital.
With the help of relatives, the
Sullivans have managed to keep
their home together while Mrs.
Sullivan regained strength.
Husband Hitchhiked.
Her husband, Richard, 80, a
Venetian blind installer, visited
her every day while she was hos
patilized here, and five nights a
week during the IL months she

was in Children's Hospital School
in Baltimore. He hitchhiked
when his car broke down.
But she saw Kim and her
daughter. Leslie Anne. 3l2, only
five times. Kim was six months
old before his mother was able
to see him.
Those days are behind them
now. With Mr.. Sullivan's moth
er, Mrs. Leona Sullivan. a former
nurse, staying on to keep the
household going, the young
couple looks forward to growing
self -sufficiency. Soon. they hope
the elder Mrs. Sullivan will be
able to go back to her own home
in the evenings.
"I've got a good arm, and my
right hand is good" said young
Mrs. Sullivan from her rocking
bed yesterday. Il sewed my
daughters dress today. I have g
wheel chair coming in which
can go out, and I plan to do my
own marketing.
And" she added, I'm the
boss here"
Won Painting Award.
To add to the trophy which
the former Betty Swinehart won
at Hyattsville High School as
girls outstanding athlete and
scholar" from 1945 to 1947, she
now has a loving cup for a new
talent-the second place award
for a painting in the Children S
Hospital hobby show. Mr.. Sulli-
van also displays with uncon-
cealed pride a ceramic pitcher
his wife made.
The SullivanS cannot tell
their story without frequent
praise for the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis,
the Prince Georges County
Chapter of which is taking care
of an estimated $4,000 hospital
bill in Baltimore alone.
The rocking bed-which gives
Mrs. Sullivan essential exercise
and the children a new enjoy
ment- and the chest respirator
which she will gradually discard
during the next month we're
furnished by the foundation,
which also paid the District
hospital bills.
A visiting physiotherapist will
call on Mrs. Sullivan twice a
week.
The Sullivans speak only of
the bright spots in the last Is
months. They are looking for
ward to many more of them in
the future.

Intriguing Resemblance.
Friends were always intrigued
to note that the former Mrs.
Addams, an extremely attractive
woman, nevertheless bore a re-
Semblance to Charley'se witch
wife. She, too, has long, black
hair, intense eyes and pale COM
pleXion.
This is not so unusual" says
James Geraghty, Charley's art
editor at the magazine. I'VE
have three other artists who had
been drawing their wives for
years before they met them"
AddamS can't go to a cocktail
party or open his mail without
getting an unsolicited suggestion
for cartoon. He rejects all but
tiny fraction. He finds it a
little depressing that SO many
people have the same thoughts
vampire at a bloodbank; a TV
antenna on a tombstone; a fac
tory which employs only apes
and bears the sign, untouched
by human hands"
Occasionally he draws things
which the New Yorker has to
reject. One such reject involved
a scene outside hospital de-
livery room. Rushing past the
eXpectant father were doctors,
nurses, anesthetists, all with
looks of extreme horror. No
caption.

horrible" says Editor Geraghty.
after all, what could that baby
have been?"
"I still kind of like it," says
Charles Samuel Addams, with
mild inSiStence.

Bizarre Collections.
AddamS has a serious interest
in relics and antiquities. His
apartment on upper Fifth Ave-
nue. and summer place at West
hampton abound in medieval
crossnows, lances and headSman
axes. He also has a full suit of
armor ia bargain at $700'O. a
miniature skull here and there,
tiny guillotine, a black metal
spider on the wall, and high
backed chair whose top curlS
over the head of the sitter and
creates a mild echo in conver-
Sation. Charley likes to call it
1.-The whispering chair!"
In this great age of character
analysis, many people are faSci-
mated to speculate on what makes
Addams tick. He is the least
fascinated.
II don't think much about why
I do what I do" he says. Prob
ably better not to. If found out
why, I might lose it.. Oh, sup

separate life. a dream thing"

RESOLUTIONS AND MORE RESOLUTIONS

-# & 04N0 AAND UA0AAl ALD0LO41ClVD
MIDNIGHT, DECEMBER 81 we reached out eagerly, yes
greedily, and embraced the NEW YEAR, greeting the young
guy with fabulous noise, wine and dance. As we blew our
horns, wildly waved balloons and scatter confetti, how many
give a thought to what the NEW YEAR holds in store? If we
had an mixing there is a good possibility that the gay, bright
picture would take on a decidedly different hue for a whole
lot Of us. Since, however, we did not know, nor care, for the
moment, we celebrated avishly, a serenade, fostered, undoubt
edIy, somewhere within the dim reaches of our subconscious
where turks the sneaking hope Of counting favor & good luck
ON JANUARY first, RESOLUTIONS are made all over
the civilized world. Standing on the threshold Of a brand new
year, we are filed with new hope and confidence, inspired
by the awareness of a new chance to accomplish what we at
tempted in the year that Just expired. We turn our backs on
our broken RESOLUTIONS, and face the newly arrived year
with a determination to turn over the proverbial new leaf
and start afresh.
EACH YEAR performance is repeated, and each
year we make our RESOLUTIONS, generally in good faith.
The lush determines to get on the wagon and stay put. The
gormandizer decides to lay off steaks" Holsters and the like.
The philandering husband swears he is through chasing
skirts, the nagging wife declares she will quit needing

advice. Quick tempers are to be curbed, profane tongues are
to be cleansed, but thoroughly, the invariably tardy, are never
going to be late again, and, oh dear, one could 60 on ana on

RESOLUTIONS. The Wit points out that RESOLUTIONS
are made simply to be broken. Such a statement smacks OF
nrre falacv. however, and is unfair to the legions who take
their seriously, making their vows to rub
out unlovely weaknesses and bad habits, fully aware OF the
obstacles and temptations involved, fully prepared to meet
the challenge.

which is more or less smelly since any constructive RESOLU-
should not be taken lightly, ever.
WOULDN'T IT be wonderful if the government Of every
country made NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS Wouldn't it be
real tribute to progress if every government progressively re-
solved to be TOLERANT, UNDERSTANDING and FAIR,
mot only to their citizens and subjects, but to each other as
well, RESOLVE to promote an ANTI-WAR policy, @
AGGRESSION and GRAFTFREE ADMINISTRATION.
In so resolving, each government would make its country
a fair Utopia, would it not? What with wars and rumors of
wars prevalent today, it might pay off for the citizenTy and
subjects Of each country to get together their respective gov
'ernments to make a NEW YEAR RESOLUTION to the effect
that it will better conditions for the good Of its people. Ac-
cepted, this would be a noble example, to say the least
