For some minutes I lay on
the float as it rocked gently
amid the sloping waves. Sud-
denly, a big wave heaved the
float into the air and me into
the water.
AS I reached out to pull my
self back, I felt a sudden tight
ening in my left leg.

DR.. Arthur s. Flemming, who

lowers of Christ will not look
upon mutual assistance pro-
grams as 'giveaway' programs,
but regard them as opportuni-
ties for applying the command
ment Thou Shalt Love Thy
Neighor AS ThySelf.'

manently crippled and am

do anything for which he has
the slightest inclination. He
appears to have a strong feel
ing about the Importance Of
a high school diploma. He
should. therefore. be encour-
aged to get one. If his 10 is
normal he can undoubtedly
do IL.
Probably Marty will not
want to 60 back to school
with a younger age group.
But he should be encouraged
to go to night school or to
a private school which gives
a little special coaching to
students who have had Diff
ficulty passing high. school
finals. If he is told he must
earn the money to do this, he
may have more incentive to do
well on q job and in the
courses he is paying for out
Of his own pocket.
Once he succeeds in one
thing. Marty will begin to
hold UP his head and look for
other areas to conquer. The
Navy may be a good pos
sibility, but his parents
should avoid pushing him
into 1t. Their line Of action
should be that of helping him
find his own strengths and
capabilities. These undoubt-
eddy lie beneath the surface
Of his apparent incompetence.
