There is a remarkable story about an English
man by the name of James Holman.
Holman lost his eyesight at the age of twentv
rour, and he became the most restless blind man
in history.
He kept on the move, touring and traveling
around the world. The fascinating part of this
man s story is that he published several books
on travel and things to see. Even though he
was blind, he compiled the finest book written
on sightseeing.
This is a classic example of what a person
can do if he really has the desire.
So many of us—with all our facilities—end up
many times with few or no great accomplish
ments. We don’t have the nerve of the blind
man who went sightseeing around the world.
9UR THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Life is
going to be exactly what we make it.

THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH
ktksh. unuua
may help cause these l - attacks.
The disease often begins with a
feeling of fullness or pressure
in the affected ear, followed by
dizziness. This may be com
plicated by temporary hearing
loss and nausea. Diagnosis and
treatment by a physician are
important and may include
medication to stop the dizziness
and prevent excess fluid in the
inner ear. Treatment is im
portant since the attacks can
make work or driving unpleas
ant or even dangerous, and the
temporary hearing loss could
become permanent nerve deaf
ness.
Research now being con
ducted and supported by the
National Institute of Neurologi
cal Diseases and Blindness
(NINDB), a component of the
National Institutes of Health,
seeks to help those affected with
dizziness. Because both dizzi
ness and nerve deafness involve
the inner ear, many research
projects and programs on deaf
ness also are concerned with the
:ause, prevention, and treatment
of dizziness.
More than 40 bone bank
laboratories are located in
cities throughout the United
States. These laboratories offer
those with a medical history of
deafness or dizziness a chance
to contribute after death to re
search on ear disorders. These
people may bequeath their
inner ears to a bone bank to be
used in research studies. Grants
from NINDB aided in establish
ing the bone banks and support
the research conducted there.
In addition, the Institute sup
ports five major clinical re
search programs. In these medi
cal centers, an intensive and
varied program of research
involves the ear. Basic and
clinical research studies are
aimed at discovering the funda
mental nature of dizziness and
nerve deafness.
For further information
about dizziness, write to this
newspaper for a copy of the
new NINDB pamphlet, "Dizzi
ness, Hope Through Research."

Rain And Puddles
By MURRELL SMITH
Autumn and winter came
early this year, and al
ready the football season
is over. The fields and
meadows are gleaming
with wet puddles of run
ning water.
Across the wet meadows
black cows graze in the
biting wind; in the soft
clay rabbit tracks run
here and there.
Across the Sound the
pulp mill spreads a stink
ing, disgusting odor so
strong that you can cut it
with a knife—the stench is
overpowering.
In ' the meadows small
streams of rain water run
by; frozen cow manure in
the teeth of the raw wind;
you can hear someone
swearing from one end of
town to the other end.
Heaps of straw has been
piled up for the cattle.
As always about this
time a full moon is born
after a mist of rain; the
sky is painted pink-red
with silver and laced with
clouds.
It’s wet out but the
school bells ring out loud
and clear; grade by grade
they come out hollering.
For a minute there is
every sort of noise imag
ined, then the noise is
broken by the teacher’s
voice yelling, “The grounds
aren’t clean enough; there’s
too much paper clean it
up!”
The streams are swollen
from the rains and the
raindrops jump from peb
ble to pebble and from
house top to house top
singing and beating a tune
ful melody.
A little freckled faced
boy fluttering with his
work; a little girl red lips
and dark eyes stands ad
miring him dreamily and
wanting him to play with
her. He replies boasting
ly, “Look! Can’t you see
I’m too busy to play with
you?”
From the very beginning
of their day to the very
end studying, playing and
wrestling then some one
is kicked on the leg —he
goes off crying, alone.
Blocks from the school
the whitecaps leap from
wave to wave and a lone
ly bell tolls in the chan
nel.
Towards another dawn
when the earth is orange
pink and misty red men,
women and children rise
one by one for the day is
anew and the earth is
aglitter.
A dog raises his bristles
at a beautiful teacher that
passed by my house on
her way to school; in a
little while the whole town
will be drinking coffee or
milk, hating eggs and just
being happy. My grand
mother says, “I have never
seen a day as lovely as
this.”
As the mist was spray
ing over the Sound a
beautiful woman stared at
me provocatively on her
way uptown. I go to the
P & Q, but no sooner did
I get there I had to go
back home I had com
pletely forgotten every
thing.
In the teeth of the raw
wind the rains once again
leap from pebble to pebble
and from house top to
house top—it’s wet out but
again the school bells ring
out all over town. In the
afternoon they come out
hollering like made and the
hollering is broken by a
teacher’s voice that rings
out loud and clear, “Get in
a straight line!” And she
thinks secretly to herself,
“I want to get rid of all of
you just as bad as you
want to go!”
Here and there along
the streets puddles of wa
ter glitter like shattered
mirrors broken into little
slivers. Through a win
dow a slender, dark-haired
woman combed her hair
over and over and rubbed
her red lips with her fing
er over and over again.
One could smell the
rain in the air —in the
darkness sadness overcame
me—just then a car sped
by spattering my face and
clothes—coming straight at
me an enormous woman
cried out violently, “What
time did you get in last
night, you worm?” Her
husband shrugged.
i All around me people
look me over suspiciously
and say he’s crazy and
flee from me from one
, house to another. All
around I can hear the
splashing of feet and the
. splitting sound of doors
; slamming. I look about
; me and not a person do I
see anywhere. I hear a
faint cry and someone
says, “Wait for me!” In
the heavy splashing of wa
ter I recognize her and our
silhouettes quiver and
' sway in the water.
On the way home I re
peated her beautiful name
• over and over as the wil--
lows flap their twigs
against the houses and the
lights in a row of win
dows gleam between the
branches along the street
and the lights go out, one
, by one.
All the next day I felt
i extremely elated as a thun.
derclap of lightning shook
everyone up around me—
crowds of people, hobos,
’ tramps, young people, old
: people, workers, socialites
: and lovely women, in bril
i liant clothes darted from
: place to place in front of
: me. I met the woman
: from the night before
: looking straight into my
i eyes and an excited sen
sation came over me as
; her hair ran down her face
and her artificial flowers
■ fell to the ground and was
crushed in the stirring feet
’ getting out of the rain.
As the rain spattered
around and about and
: from pebble to pebble
once more, the sky was
painted pink and adorned
in red and a gloriously
bright light reflected in
her soul.
As my thoughts passed
over and beyond reality, I
remember two amusing
sketches I spent the sum
mer painting her forever
in my memory and her
outline was always spat
tered in rain the rains
fell from pebble to pebble
and from house top to
. house top singing and
beating a tuneful melody.
