On a night in March 1918, i
raw and drizzling rain fell on the
front-line trenches in France. I
| had been raining for several days
and the ground was softened bj
I .. - rain and by ex
( ploding shells.
' I ^ne SeC^?'
' ment. At about
' I I 10 o clock thal
i JK-fSHr night an ordei
| came througl
] to send a raid
' War^ tke <Jer
, man treaches
The man select
. ed to lead the raid was Captain J
Frances Smith of St. John. New
- Brunswick, Canada.
.They set out in the biting wine
and rain. A shell burst nearby
t Phosgene gas. Phosgene, an<
' shell-shock to boot, for younf
Captain Smith!
' They gathered him up, hospital
[ ized him. He couldn't swallow
' so they fed him through I
' stomach tube, then nursed hin
out of the gas, and put him on ai
operating table to cut som<
' shrapnel from his thighs.
; After the operation, Captaii
Smith got out of bed, delirious
' fell and fractured his skull. H<
' recovered consciousness but thi
gas and the jar had combined t<
' put his optic nerve out of busi
; ness. He was stone blind!
When they invalided him ou
, of the service, Captain Smith re
s turned home to Canada a despair
, ing sight?a blind man.
In Jiis early twenties, the ma
. jor part of his life lay before him
. What was he to do with it? Wha
, interest was there for a man whi
_ | couldn't see ? How could a blin<
' man make good- Before 191'
. , Captain Smith had trained as i
! pharmacist and had intended ti
. j become a doctor. Now he decidei
j that he might, with the superio
touch faculty of the blind, becom*
, a physiotherapist. Se he trainei
. j for that, and eventually took staf
1 position as a physiotherapist ii
. i two military hospitals in Torontc
j! The fineness of his touch con
} tinually increased. He though
such a faculty ought to make hir
! good in osteopathy, a scienc
I which treats disease by correc
tive manipulation of displace*
bones, nerves, blood-vessels an*
muscles.
So, acting on the hunch, he en
tered the Philadelphia College o
Osteopathy, where he was grad
uated with honors for brillian
work in Applied Anatomy and fo
* his brilliant showing in his ex
jamination. Today he teaches a
that college as Professor of Neu
rology and Psychiatry; and h
ranks as one of the top-flight me
of the osteopathic profession. H
is also an expert reader of Brailh
He is now 43; and he keeps o
coming.
Dr. Smith is an inspiring ex
ample for people who are tempte
to give up because of some physi
cal handicap. Not only did h
J overcome a major handicap tha
! would have crushed many met
but he is today a better osteopat
than he would have been i
j he had retained his sight. Hi

A total of 2,003 schools and j
141,593 students have been certified

less than 10,000 above the number
certified he said.
Commodities distributed so

greens, 828,704 pounds, estimated

THE ROSE
Fhe rose that hangs among
the thorns
Is very, very sweet;
Jut e'er you reach
that pretty rose
rhose painful thorns you greet.
Ind so it is with anything
That's really worth your while:
["he stinging hardships greet you
first.
And ^fter that, just smile.
?Joseph S. Hufham
JUST IMAGINE
:f you have that sinking feeling
In your very stomach pit
hke the fellow, who believing
himself through,
Tails to muster any courage,
Husters not a grain of grit,
rhen I have a small suggestion
here for you:
riose your eyes and just imagine
rhat the whole world is a goat,
And that you are sitting pretty
on his back;
Grab his horns, and ears and
wring them,
Get a death grip on his throat,
rhen, believe me, you will surely
have his hack!
Just a little 'magination
Has an awful lot to do
For the fellow who is nearly
down and out.
So don't let that sinking feeling
Get the upper hand on you;
Just imagine that you're bursting
"Billy's" snout!

CATTLE DECLINE
Production of cattle in California
declined about 3 percent
in 1939 because of poor range
and feed conditions, says the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
It is estimated by the National
Safety Council that more Americans
died in traffic accidents
luring the past year and a half
than were killed during the
World War.

WASHINGTON, ? Represent- keta
ative Harold Cooley of North to
Carolina declared Friday night an ! whil
_ I anrl
agreement between the United I
States and British tobacco buy- ]
ers, similar to one effected last
year, would be badly needed when
the tobacco markets opened this
fall.
Cooley, in a radio (MBS) address,
referred to the agreement J
under which this government j
bought 75,000,000 pounds of flue-1
cured tobacco last year, holding
it under option for British buyers
until conditions permitted sales i
to England.
The United Kingdom stopped j
buying American tobacco at the:
beginning of the European war j
to conserve exchange for war
materials.
Cooley, discussing the tobacco!
marketing control program, said I
the 1939 agreement prevented to-1
bacco growers from becoming {
"face to face with distress and!
bankruptcy".
"In that distressing hour the'
government stepped in and purchased
approximately 75,000,000
pounds of tobacco which would
normally have been purchased by
British buyers." tm
