1t is being recognized more and
more these days that a hospital ex-
perience for a child can be frighten-
ing, not only during his hospital
stay, but afterwards when he goes
home.
There are some things that you
as parents can do to reassure your
child before he is hospitalized. In
cidentally. this will be comforting
to you, too.
l Help your child know and trust
doctors and nurses by taking him
often for check ups Don't threaten
the child with visits to the doctor
as a punishment.
Prepare your child for absence
from mother by leaving him with a
familiar relative or baby sitter Of

being away Tell him when you'll
be back, and try to be there when
you say you will

Mr. Sakakibara heard his children
coming. Their piping. excited vol
ces were pitched high, they were
happy about the new house and the
new furniture and their mothers

Daddy about it
He couldn't be angry. 1t would
take edge off their enjoyment. 1t
would blot the smile from his wife'S
face He looked about again, Slow
ly, savoring the neWness of it all
and quickly, spontaneously, he knew
many things. He knew that COM
plete newness would be too much.
Somehow, his wife haG known that
there must be some attachment to
the old, good things that he'd known
a long time. This changing of his
house; wasn't it all the change he
needed? 1t certainly freshened
his environment And her hair. Al
most, it seemed just a little bit like
living with a new woman Not quite
but she was changed
He admitted all this to himself
even though he'd never say it aloud.
The new rack. that was lesson.
He missed the old one. Would he
miss the old house too, even if the
new one were fresh-wood smelling
and larger? And new job?
The chill en- scampered into the
front of the house and kicked off
their shoes and raced towards him
and he knew he was smiling. and
not feigning He knew without con-
sciously thinking it. that he'd not
be angry with his wife He just
wouldn't say anything.
Mrs Sakakibara watched the
three children pirouette before her
smiling husband. They were babbl-
ing about their new clothes
Anyone watching her face, unless
he knew her well, would never guess
that she was breathing a silent pra-
yer of thankfulness, that her pulse
was racing.
Racing like the pulse of a person
who had never gambled but sudden
ly had tried it and was watching a
roulette wheel spin and slow and
slow the ball falling toward that
number, the all important number.

A Short Story.
THE GAMBLE. .
Q BY ROGER SPLINTER

You'd never know, looking at va
sukazu Sakakibara, hanging on the
strap IN the number II streetcar
that passed the Nikkatsu building
at exactly $50 p M, that he was
embarking on New Life.
He was a typical Japanese bust
nessman He wore hat and an o.
vercoat that made him indistingui-
shable from the other men on the
streetcar Most of them wore loose
fitting black overcoats and most of
them wore gray felt hats, a little
worn, little rain stained. And his
face: it showed no mark of stupi-
dity nor did it look extremely intel
ligent Mr. Sakakibara was inter
nally exhilarated; he was embark
ing on a new life despite his every
day face and clothes and hat.
This embarking, this launching
on a New Life had been long time
building and he thought about it
instead of folding his newspaper
and squirting at it while he hung
on the strap with the free hand A
long time building. Maybe 10 years
maybe more. It's hard to put a
finger on the exact time man
grows restless, starts yearning for
something different new faces, new
places, a different way of living.
A more literary person than Mr..
Sakakibara might have said that
this man was bored with the tedium
of his routine and everyday exis-
tence that he wanted the mental
pickup of a complete change
As the trolley jolted along, Mr..
Sakakibara luxuriated in his plans
He'd saved respectable amount of
yen enough to take care of mo-
wing his home He had enough for
new clothes and, best of all, he had
a good idea where to get new job.
Mr. Sakakibara permitted a little
smile to lift his lips. Things were
going to be fine
The trolley car stopped and star
ted, the doors opened and closed
and feet fusilladed on the metal
bottom step as people got on and
off. None of them, reflected Mr.
Sakakibara, had the rosy prospect
that he had. A sort of pity for these
people touched him. Poor rut-liv-
ing people. They would finish their
days doing the same thing the
same way. They'd have the same
ojb, the same home, the same drab
experiences. 1t takes imagination
and courage to start a new life when
you're over 40 Courage and imagi-
nation
He remembered Mrs Sakakiba-
ra's face when he told her. Not ex-
actly surprised, maybe, just little
resigned Shed looked as though
