The next morning she was [ startled just about out of her [wits when, on awakening, her [husband jumped out of bed land halfway across the room when he saw her face. ‘What on earth happened 1 1 0 you?” he shouted excited fly. “I’m going to call a doc tor! You’re turning black! |Vou must be dead!” I A look at the bedside table olved the mystery. When she eached for the Vicks the ight before, she got the ink ottle instead. P. S.

Textbook Pages ; Are Flashed On Hospital Ceilings kJ o Paralyzed and Tubercular pat ients in Veterans Administration hospitals now may study educa tional courses, even though bed ridden, by flashing microfilmed pages of textbooks on the ceilings over their beds with special pro jectors. According to the Veterans Ad ministration this is the first time it has used this method to bring educational textbooks to veteran patients for study while they are flat on their backs. Heretofore, it was pointed out, the process was principally used for entertainment. Several hundred microfilm pro jetors have been supplied to VA hospitals through Red Cross Com munity Service to Camps and Hos pitals. Large numbers of other I sources. ( VA has microfilmed 32 manuals from the 200 courses used in the educational therapy program to launch this project. The subjects range from “English Grammar,” “American Government,” and “Physics!” to “Radio for Begin ners,” “Elementary Photography,’ and “Electric and Gas Refrigera tion.” Patients “turn” the pages by pressing a button whereupon the projector throws the next page on the ceiling. When the patients are ’ able to leave their beds, they may continue their studies with the reg ular textbooks. All VA Tuberculosis hospitals and paraplegia centers have sev eral copies of each text-film so ' that more than one veteran-pat ' ient may study the same subject at the same time. The films are kept ’ in hospital libraries and may be ' drawn in the same manner as books are drawn. > Warriors Face Heavy Harris High Eleven o The Swannanoa Warriors will give away several pounds to the man when they square off against the powerful Harris high at Spruce Pine this afternoon (Thursday).
