fever had taken a good sized hold
on him. He was napping. That's
the reason I'd chosen the back
row seat, anyway. This fellow had
extremely wide shoulders and if
I'd decided to snooze, no one would I
have noticed.
In other words, it was a lazy
day.
Still, we had to go through the
motions of oral reports, anyway.

He surveyed the situation and
decided to lead with his ace. He
called on the serious little red
haired girl on the front row—Vir
ginia Ezzell—to get things started.
She always did her homework.
I think I peeked around the guy-
in-front-of-me’s shoulders at this
point. She was a rather cute little
girl. No Briget Bardot, but, then,
no straightsides O’Kelly monu

She was a treat to listen to.
Kind of a baby voice.

The Christians drew first blooc

Vacancies In Field
There are 2500 known vacancies
m the field of Physical Therapy,
and to include the unknown va-
epncies, the above figure may be
safely multiplied by four. There
are opportunities open to both full
time and part-time personnel.
Young men and women who liki
ihe idea of varied endeavor will
find definite appeal in the work.
It is especially good as a career
for women, many of whom work
ifter marriage, in spite of chil
dren and relatives, or who may
have to relinqui.sh the role of
nousewife because of circumstance
and go back to being self-sup-
porting.
!n contemplating the need for
(r.Tined Physical Therapists today,
the comprehension of the lay per
son may be limited to what can
I>p .'een in his or her immediate
world, where a few accidents hap-
‘pcn during a year and where ill
cess limits the normal activity of
another group of people during
the same period of time. Grad
uates considering this as a pro-
fe'.sion to follow should remind
themselves that the geographical
limits of their country represent
tl'.L' smallest limits of a field of
work waiting to be done.
Figures are convincing proof of
ready opportunity: for instance,
during the years of World War II
there were approximately 20.500
amputees throughout the military
services: add to th.''.t figure 120,-
000 major amputations resulting
from disease and accident among
our civilian population during that
time. During the war, 44,000 war
workers lo.st limbs in industrial
accidents alone, and 66.000 civi
lians became blind in that same
period. In terms of permanent dis
ability, around 26.'i.000 men were
injured to such a degree during
the four years of the war; 250,000
civilians were classified as perma
nently disabled in the same four
years. Then there are heart dis
ease patients, those with cerebral
palsy, arthritis, dis6rders of
speech, vision and hearing, the
paraplegics, and many others with
:ome physical disability. It has
been estimat^l that with ade
quate facilities and personnel, phy
sical and emotional rehabilitation
are possible to a degree that 97
per cent of all our handicapped j
people can be taught to lead pro-;
