Polio Victim On Comeback PrOUes Again
Where There's A Will There's A Way

You may not be able to keep good
man down, but neither can you keep
down a good woman. Mrs. Gail
Traucht, who resides on Route 103,
east of Bluffton, is unquestionable
proof of that fact.
Mrs. Traucht, sister-in-law of Her
bert Traucht, Bluffton, was stricken
with polio in July, 1853, on her 23rd
birthday. But, according to an article
which appeared last week in the Find
lay Republican Courier, there is no
limit to what she can do, even from
her wheelchair.
At first she found getting around
the house was quite a chore. The
doorways were too small, the sink and
shelves too high and that, coupled
with trying - care for her husband
and two children, Stephen, 6, and
Doug, 2, posed seemingly unsur-
mountable obstacles.
Then after treatment at Warm
Springs, Ga, following stays at Lima
Memorial and Bluffton Community
where Doug was born, she learned to
use the wheelchair with considerable
skill. She also learned how to get into
and out of an automobile with ease.
But the best thrill of all came upon
her return home. The house had been
