Hospital, lialeigh*
To prove that a hospital
ized patient isn't at all
dov/n-cast- and blue, Cathy
declares; "Many people
feel that being confined
to a hospital is dull and
listless, I can assure
you that they are very
much wrong. How you make
the day is what counts,
"I have a ..hobby of coll
ecting dolls, dolls from
Japan, Greece, London, and
all over the United States.
I attend drive-in theaters,
ice shows, and visit homes
here in Raleigh, Now, one
of my biggest thrills is

fortunate to get a tele

"I hear from many people,
former classmates and

Your Patronage
As I lie in bed each day
Thinking what next may
cone ray vfay,
Tliinlcing of the folks back
home
And v;ondering hm long
1*11 be gone.
But yet sometimes it may
seem sad,
It»s not really all bad,
V.lien you think of alD the
friends you*ve made
And how they've helped you
guide your v;ay.
And if you alv;ays look
around
There's alvrays someone to
be found
That's sicker than you are
in many ways
And may not see half as
many happy days;
Even though I cannot vfalk
I feel lucky that I can
talk.
Yet it may be a very long
wait before I vmlk to
llj’- home gate,
Some days'nay seem ai/fully
blue.
But I pray thee then I'm
good as new, C,Stott
