Odds n' Ends

Raymond
I thought you might find Raymond's
story as interesting as. I did. • .
'Several years ago a minister moved to a
small town in.Southern Ontario. As was his
custom, he soon became acquainted with
the children-.of his congregation and their
friends. One of these youngsters was a
seemingly - bright, well-adjusted and
likeable twelve-year-old named Raymond.
Jit early August, the minister received a
call from the, boy's mother, who explained
worriedly, "Raymond says he's not going
back to school."
Although he thought it' seemed a little
premature to panic about a twelve-year-old
threatening to not go to school, he went
over to the farm to talk to Raymond's
parents.
He discovered Raymond had a good
reason for not wanting to go back. He
couldn't read or write. The previous year,
when he was in grade five, an enterprising
teacher decided it was about time he
learned. •
She'd write a simple word on the
blackboard, like dog or cat, and ask in front
of the class, "What's this word,
Raymond?" He'd stutter and stammer
while his classmates snickered. "Surely
you know what this means!" she'd press
him.
When.these tactics proved fruitless, she
sent him where all children learn to read -
grade one. He spent half of each school day
crouched on the little chairs with the
beginners trying to read about Dick and
Jane.
"Has he been tested for a lea'r'ning
disability?" the minister wondered.
"He had • been given the provincial
achievement tests with all the other
children at school, and the verdict had
been `mental retardation.'
"I don't buy. that!" came the pastor's •
reply.
With the parents' perminion, he took
Raymond to a hospital for ftIrther testing.
The results showed a rare visual problem.
Raymond saw words backwards; Dog and
cat were hard enough to figure -out, but •
words of two and three syllables were
impossible.
After much searching, the minister
contacted a teacher who had experience in
learning disabilities and rehabilitation. She
painstakingly authored a reader that only
Raymond could undetstand. By Christmas-
time, he was able to write a 'thank you' note
to the pastor; and by the end of the school
year, he passed with merit.
One question temporarily pUzzled the
minister- With all the frustration and
humiliation, the boy had suffered, why was
he not emotionally disturbed?
The answer lay in Raymond's family.
They tried every possible means to help
him learn to%read. But when they realized
he couldn't, they didn't' treat him as a
failure, and' they didn't make him feel
stupid. Instead, they helped him to develop
his other potentials. He was an eager and
capable helper on the farm, where his
inability to read could be compensated for.
As his father put it, "Hell, '13by, if you
can't read what's on the sack, open it and
find out what's inside."
His family accepted hips and loved him
as he was. And Raymond didn't let them
down.

Some of "the luck of ihe 'Irish"
seems to have rubbed off on Mrs.
Adelia Fisher who celebrated her
104th birthday on St. Patrick's
Day in Seaforth ManOr,
surrounded by fainily and friends.
Born in Ellser Lorraine,
Germany, March 17, 1,873, '
"Sammie", as her family calls
her, is frail, but still enjoys fairly'
good health, and a sharp
memory.
Though she is confined to bed
now, she is able to spend part of
each day in a wheelchair, and
enjoys her food and an occasional
glass of wine. Mrs. Fisher has
been a resident of the Mazer for
the past nine months. \
Mrs. Fisher left Germany at the
age of 13 and settled in Buffalo.
She met and married a Canadian,
Gottleib Fisher, who was working
in Buffalo in. 1908, the couple
moved to Ontario. They farmed
near Dashwood until the death of
her husband .in 1922: when Mrs.
Fisher moved her family into
Dashwood. She supported her 13
children, seven of whom are, still
living, by pulling flax, cooking.,at
the Ipperwash Inn, and by doing
housework. While doing house-
work for a family in Zurich she
would walk the seven miles to
work in the morning and walk
home again when the day's work
was done.
Exercising
Until two years6 ago, Mrs.
Fisher was still exercising three
times a day. She has been blind
for the past 28 years, and is hard
of hearing.
It is hard for Mrs. Fislier to
understand some of the changes
that have taken ,place during her
life, especially inflation, The
prices of things astonish her. She
loves donuts, and asked her
daughter, Mrs. Edna Weber of
Dashwood, if she could have one•
at the party. When Mrs. Weber
asked her mother if she knew how
much a dozen donuts cost today,-
