JANUARY, 1966 THE PIEDMONITOR PAGE THREE Radio Shop Plays Santa ym HAPPINESS IS A RADIO—Carl Mullins, left, and A! Lenderman presented Sammy with his radio on behalf of the Radio Shop at INT. by K. D, Oakley, INT Radio Shop Every year at Christmas the Radio Shop at INT has found an individual or family who needed assistance i n having a better Christmas. It was always easy enough to find people who need ed something; but never have we found anyone who deserved our Christmas gift as did the boy we helped this past year. His name is Sammy Gough. He is 21 years old and lives at 503 East Salem Avenue here in Winston-Salem. We could not give Sammy what each of us wanted so much to be able to give him, the gift of being able to walk. Sammy has had muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis all of his life. He has always been confined to a wheel chair and has never walked a step. His movements are limited to the use of his hands and arms. His greatest gift would be the ability to do one of a thousand things that most of us take for granted everyday. One would think that a person who has no touch with the outside world, who must always b e closely confined, whose every movement is pain ful, would be exceedingly lonely and bitter. But Sammy is not. In his words, “When a man has Christ and loves life and people the way I do, he has no Pacemaker Puzzle 7 6 M 20 21 25 26 32 33 66 57 ACBOSS DOWN 1. held 1.

To Meet People In order to put himself in con tact with more people we foimd that Sammy had been saving for two years to get a Citizen Bard Two Way Radio. We had no trouble in obtaining help, both financial and otherwise, from the men in the Radio Shop. But a time element was involved. Covering five states, it took over 100 people, two automobiles and three major airlines but Sammy got his Christmas wish. Sammy started 1966 licensed to talk with over 2.5 million other C-Bers who live in or might travel through North Carolina. Each of us who came in con tact with Sammy last Christmas TCA laierlher the driver if you caught +hl$ flight? “Jusf how much did you promise received a gift far exceeding that 1 live, whose smile still carries which we gave. We found it in- sunshine, whose words, hope, deed refreshing to find a person whose laughter is real and whose in this hectic world in which we I “Thank you” is sincere. Teletype Tells Christmas Story When you were at home with your family on Christmas did you think about your co-workers who were still at the office or at the switchboards or pecking away at the teletype machines? Traditionally the teletype has its own tale to tell of Christmas over the system. Some of our op erators must have artistic tal ents. Lettered pictures appeared between the messages. The fol lowing cheerful words are only a few of the actual bits of humor that crossed Piedmont’s wires this past Christmas Eve. ALSTA .ABC SANTAS HELPER N.
