My wife phoned from the bus station the other day, just home from her weekly stint at college. "Bill, I'm in a terrible mess." I groaned si- lently; "What is it this time?" To cut a long story short, she had started out with a little act of Christian. charity, or plain humanity, and wound up with a problem that would have made the Good Samaritan take to his heels. Mrs. Popovich has Parkin-' son's Disease. She can walk by inches. On a good day, she might travel 40 feet in 40 minutes, possibly falling flat on her face twice during the procedure. My wife helped her onto the bus in the city. Four days lat- er, we practically hurled her onto. a bus going back to the city. In the intervening time, she ; was a thorn in the spiritual side, a seorpiOn in our minds. In short, we worried like hell about her. She • is sweet, and she has faith, and she has a sense of humor. And she's as stubborn as a mule. She bad come here to visit the Shrine, with a view to a spot of faith healing. The Shrine is closed in the winter, No priests, no services, Tust a big, dark, cold church, We got her settled in a mo- tel room on street' level be- cause she can't climb steps. Arranged for hot food and drinks to he brought to her, ViSitecl her. Made her promise to phone her daughter- to conic and get her, She was adamant. Saturday, somehow, she got to the Shrine by cab, It takes ten Minutes to get her into or out of a car, , Told the cabbie to come back in two hours, Door of church Was locked. She sat for two hours, high On a hill-top, in a bleak November wind, 'on the steps of the Shrine. Sunday, aftel aliening by phone, we took her to the Shrine. Two hours hard labor. Church like a holy barn. Popovich She did begin to see that it was all a hit fruitless and agreed to take a bus back 'to the city on Monday. After an hour's struggle, we got her onto the bus, which is three minutes from the motel. An- other chap and I carried her aboard. Cane, baggage, purse, all in place. And the bus driver's look said loud and clear, "How can you be so rotten as to pour your poor old mother onto a bus when she can't even walk? What kind of people are you?" I guess this is because my wife kissed her goodbye, and I patted her shoulder. And his voice said, "Who's going to help her off the bus?" And we've been haunted ever since by her dark, sad eYes, and that sweet smile, and that indomitable spirit: "If I don't keep going, I'll be' in a wheelchair for the rest of my life," What got both of us was the coldness and the eager curiosi- ty of the Onlookers. The only person who offered aid, the chap who helped me carry her onto the bus, was a rough-look- ing character who was obvious- ly a junkie or an alcoholic. He said he'd look after her. What a paradox! All those well-fed, well-clothed, well- looking people sat there and watched, as though it were a horror movie, And the only guy. in the crowd who looked as though he needed help him- self said, "We have to help one another, don't we?" A certain Levitt was mugged, rolled, and left to die: Two of his own race passed. i One didn't *Anne get nvOlVed. The other was late for church, And a Samaritan, an alien, heard his groans, and said, "Oy, boy, What's With you? You don't look so good."

In 1967 there were 16,816 less than in 1966, although marriages were up .? Percent, The one exception to this trend was the increase in the number of infants born out of wedlock — 29,391 — about 9.5 percent of the total. Of these, 38 peroent were born to girls under twenty. Are the parents of teenagers, already heavily involved in the expensive process of rearing their own children ready to take on the care of another generation? Are married couples who are avoiding conception themselves likely to want to adopt the babies produced by someone else? (Fortunately a good many — perhaps a third — of these children do find permanent homes, but the gap between available infants and adoptive parents is steadily widening). Government supported foster homes are in short supply. Years ago sqcial workers convinced us that orphanages were a poor means of rearing youngsters who need to be loved and to belong to someone. What is left? Obviously taxpayers are expected to foot the bill for these unwanted babies. Even if there were not a limit to what the hard pressed voter will endure, there is the more serious problem of even half-adequate care. Changing sexual mores may not bother the taxpayer but a.crop of unloved unsupported htiman beings .most bother him — if not today, certainly tomorrow. 1,1 oet, isSISLA aAI dd MI St it Newspaper people and editors are human beings and periodically behave like human beings. They are, at such times, subject to the moods and fancies of all people. They, can drop into the pit of self-pity, and newspaper people can suffer the stings released by well-meaning but sharp tongued critics. A colleague has written a brief editorial that could' only have been composed in moments of dejection. It was titled "You Can't Win," and there is a strong element of truth to be found in the following sentences: If we attend a meeting, we've been nosy. If we don't, we're not interested. If we write 'an in-depth story, it's too long. If we condense it, it's incomplete. If we take sides on an issue, we're prejudiced. If we don't, we're:Cowards.. If. our-clothes are clean anciri-ressed, we think we're big shots. If they aren't, we look like movie-land newspapermen. If we've been around for a while it's time for a change. If we don't stop and talk (deadlines, you know), we're too big for our britches. If we do, that's all we've got to do anyway. If we ask for advice, we're incompetent. If we don't, we're know-it-alls. If we make a mistake, we hear about it for weeks. If we don't, we never hear about it. If we express an opinion, we want to run the show. If we don't, how were we ever raised?' If we misspell your name, you never forget it. If we don't, you didn't read that story. (Camp Borden, Ontario Citizen.)
