with other children they talk,

fights and no one interferes as
long as it is little childish argu-
ment A grownup is always there
to see everyone is enjoying the
playground and when they are in
side there are always attendants
close by to see all of the children
study and are orderly.
The normal children in this way
are so used to seeing boys and
girls on crutches, in wheel chairs
and sightless that they do not
stare or make unpleasant remarks
when they see a handicapped

shame to have another child be-
cause it might be handicapped
The two are healthy and normal
and they love the twins very much
and the twins never seem to feel
they are different.
When the twins started running,
playing games I must say I was
afraid they would get hurt but
they are so sensitive to anything
that might be in their way they
seem to sense it and will actually
seem to play away from trouble"
for them. When they play, the
area is gone over so there will be
no stones, etc, in their path. They
do not know this and they will
laugh and say, "see, I didn't fall
or stumble today. They are only
eight years old now but they are
living an almost normal life. New

smile when I look at my twins
dressing and undressing them
selves. Some times they do get
knots in their shoe laces but not
too often. They have been taught
to help each other a great deal.
At school, they do not sit close to-
gether because they have been
taught not to lean on each other.
At first it was hard for them for
they had always been inseparable
at home but I can see how inde-
pendant they are becoming al
ready.
Now you see why I can smile,
don't you? The four children get
along like those in average families
with tiny ones so close together.
Our oldest daughter, IL years old,
is a regular little mother" to the
twins and the younger ones. It
was hard for Anne to become ad-
justed to the twins blindness. For
some time we were afraid for her
health because she took their hand
leap 50 to her heart.
She has learned not to feel sorry
for them but to be grateful they
are as happy and as healthy as
they are and to accept their handi-
cap. Since she Is older she Is able
to be with them and to act as
though they are not handicapped.
At least she does not cry about
them as she did for 80 long a time.
Lillian brings her family, with
the help Of her husband, out to
church quite often and they are
among the best behaved children
in church. Friends, realizing how
brave she Is, have stopped feeling
sorry for her, and now she really
can smile because she doesn't have |
to endure the plying looks Of her
friends.
Lillian also smiles because all of |
her children have been able to
brave all of the usual batch Of
colds, measles, etc, in stride, with
no i'll effects.
True, she had her trials and
tribulations early in life but she
has met and has conquered them.

almost a deliberate challenge to

DR.. Seamans is for practical

clearly brought out last Friday

Ribicoff Says
NH Research
Won't Be Cut

Cuts in the National Insti-
tutes of Health budget will not
reduce current research funds
the Secretary of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare said yester-
day.
Not one dollar now being
used for cancer research or
research on other disease will
be cut" Secretary Ribicotf
stressed in a telegram to Rep
resentative Fogarty, Democrat
of Rhode Island, who criticized
budget cuts at the second con-
ference on Experimental Clin-
ical Cancer Chemotherapy here
Friday.
Actually" Mr.. Ribicoff said,
"the $l06 million spent by the
Cancer Institute in 1861 will
be substantially increased in
1862 in the amount of S21
million. thereby making pos
sible not only the support of
all current research but in
addition the support of a sub
stantial volume of new research
projects as we'll"
Mr.. Ribieoff told Mr.. Fogarty
the sole consequence" of the
decision to make cuts is that
increased spending above the
1861 level will be made at a
reduced rate, but the increase
for NH above the 1861 level,
$118 million, will make possible
the support of 80 per cent of
all new research projects that
are now anticipated to be ap-
proved and will continue the
significant annual increases in
NH funds that have occurred
in each of the recent years."

The courts decision (No.
$4,000 is especially important
since in a previous case along
somewhat similar lines it had
approved such annual leave
payment to employees.
The latest decision stems
from a case in which an en-
ploye was fired as a security
risk and, following an appeal
was reinstated more than -four
years later.
The employe sued to recover
payment for hours of annual
leave, which he would have
earned at an annual rate oi
100 hours a year during the
time of his suspension.
However, the court denied
the claim. 1t said that he hac

regular pay he lost while of
the job and that the four weeks

vacation purposes anyway. Tht
