D. Foulois, accompanied Gen. PerShing
and his forces on the punitive ex-
petition into Mexico in 1916. Its oper-
atoms resulted in dismal failure. Six

enough so that anyone outside his
immediate family could under
stand him His speech has pre-
vented him from leading a social
life anywhere near approXimating
the normal. although he is con-
sidered a good laborer and worker.
Both these patients had severe
handicapS to begin with: they still
have considerable difficulty. but I
think they are good examples of
what can be accomplished with
speech therapy. And it is worth
while to note that continued i'm
provement can be expected in both
cases. In Roberts case. the acci-
dent occurred long after normal
speech had been developed. How
ever, Deaver was allowed to con-
tinue his inadequate pattern of
speech until late adolescence.
"If he had received speech help
when he was five or six years old,
who knows how different his pat
tern of life might have been?" DR.,
Ormandy asks.
MANY WITH DEFECTS
1t has been estimated that in
North Carolina today there are
$4,000 children and $4,000
adults with speech defects, due
various causes. Many of the
speech defects result from emo
tional disturbances following or
attendant to becoming cripple.
Conversely, many of the speech
defects cause other emotional
disturbances.
Both of them would prevent the
subject from assuming his normal
place in society, it is believed.
This program of providing
treatment for patients who would
be unable to get it otherwise is
working fine" says Albin PikutiS

SOUND STIMULATION
Dr.. Ormandy says that in be-

necessary first of all to stimulate
him with the sound that we were
teaching him so the he could hear

it was necessary to show him the
difference between the sound as

Timely Farm Questions

QUESTION: Do pine seedlings
have to be planted in the field ex-
actlr as deep as they grew in the
nursery?
ANSWER: No. You can get good
growth and survival of loblolly
pine by planting as deeply as you
want - so long as you don't bury
them. Three-year tests have shown
that better growth and survival
result in planting seedlings deeper
in the field. That's contrary to
popular thinking few years ago.
QUESTION: How deep should
1 put fertilizer in my vegetable
garden?
ANSWER: When fertilizer is ap-
piled as deep as the soil is spaded
or ploWed. it encourages plant
roots to develop we'll below the
surface where greater moisture
can be obtained. This method is
particularly effective for CONNER
cial fertilizers.

day following publication of the

last week, the family's cupboard
was entirely bare. But readers of
the Times story didn't allow that
condition to continue. They began
visiting the Dellinger home
seven miles east of Linccolnton
on Highway 273- coming in

And just as the Jack Delling-

from CroWell Hospital back to his
home. after having been back in
the hospital more than two
months for treatment of an in
fectiouS condition. He has at his
home a special-type bed which
allows for more convenient hand

him day and night.
The young man is remaining
cheerful through all his ad

though he has seen his fOndeSt
dreams crushed. Lining the
walls of his room are row upon
row of letters and get-well
cards from school mates and
others. The arrival of the mail
has become a big event in his
young life. 1t seems to serve
as a spiritual tonic for him.
