MIAMI, Fla. - It Is very
early. I'm slept out. My mind
wanders at a time like this.
I lift a solitary blind and peek
out. The sun is up over the
sea and a pair of idiotic
honeymooners walk the sand
hand in hand. Can I think
this early? I doubt it My
mind darts from thought to
thought like a round stone
skipping across a quiet lake.
Gail and her husband were
here last night. He calls-her
Cookie, SO I win have to think
before I address my younger
daughter. Cookie, is it?
Frank Gerace has q Job with
Elkam Stables as exercise boy

this is what he wants in life,
I'm behind him. He'll be
working at Hialeah for Ray
Metcalfe, a great trainer. Ray
is SO horsy that, when he has
a headache, he goes to q

thereafter he did not smoke.

Emotion Can Prove Fatal

THE DETAILS

Karen S. - My sister and
brother-in-law have q daugh-
ter who is z and, almost from
the time she was born, they
realized she was retarded.
But instead Of giving her UP
or placing her in an institu-
ton. they have made hermits
and wrecks of themselves
trying to care for this child
and make her happy.
Naturally they won't 60
anywhere without Jeanne
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-11-30

and when they all come to
family parties, poor Jeanne
Is bewildered and the other
children are torn between
curiosity and fear. So Ada
stays home, except when she
can leave the child with her
husband, which isn't often.
She is sacrificing every
thing for this child, who is
so frail she may not even live
to grow up. She can never
hope for a normal life. We're
heartbroken over what this
is doing to Ada.
Ada G.-Only someone who
loves Jeanne and has watched
her improve in ways that are
hardly visible can under
stand why her father and I
will never give up hope.
Karen only sees what we do
for Jeanne. She doesn't re-
alize what that sweet child
does for us.
Shortly after Jeanne was
born. our doctor explained
we couldn't be sure about how
badly she was retarded
until she was older and could
be tested.
Somehow I had faith that
our baby wasn't too far below
normal and that I could do
more than any institution to
help her develop. I was right.
The tests show her to be a
broderline case. She's SIM
ply slow. but she can learn
many things.
There's no one else, GER
tainly no institution, to give
our daughter the patient en-
couragement and affection
she needs.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
BY institution" we assume
these sisters refer to a cuSto-
dial, residential train
ing school for retarded chill
dren, the sort of place that's
old-fashioned and used ideally
only for completely unrespon-
sive and virtually hopeless
cases. The institutions that
have superseded it are the
home, the special class, the
special school, the special
camp, all working together.
Depending upon the degree
of retardation, there are now
many alternatives to the for
mer horrors of Punishment to
an asylum or hiding lin the
attic" Even when a boarding
school is required for levels
of teaching the home cannot
provide, there are frequent
returns to family living
which keep the child belong

be used with the kinds of beasts
used by farmers in the areas
to be served. This plow alone
has rehabilitated entire villages
that had been unable to fulfill
their basic needs.
Specially developed fish nets
turned the tide of poverty in
areas throughout the world.
Simple block-making machines
made possible homes where, be-
fore, there had been only un-
sanitary novels. Sewing ma
chimes, looms, water pumps and
mechanics kits create industry
where there had been only
poverty-caused idleness.
CARE, supported by Ameri-
can dollar contributions, joined
the fight against disease with
clinics-on-wheels and midwifery
kits. Education kits make it
possible for children in under-'
privileged areas to grow into
healthy, useful adults.
These projects, supported by
American contributions, serve

on a people-to-people basis,
