"Tho' much is taken, much abides. , ;" Alfred Lord Tennyson says so very much with these six'. simple words. As the picture that is worth a thousand words, this quote -contains a thousand emo- tions, a hundred thousand situa- tions, and a thousand thousand people. One of those people is Terry. Terry was 22 years old whenvhe was seriously injured in a truck accident. He was left paralyzed from the neck down. Literally all he could do was blink his eyes. He was totally dependent on others for his every need, Terry's Situation appeared hopeless. He had little outlook for the future, little if anyth%to live for. Everyone close to hum and more particularly his `hospital staff was extremely, concerned. Terry was the Centre of every- one's inquiries, no one wanted to see himgive up his fight. This concern led to his transfer to another hospital for extensive tests and the development of a suitable medical restoration pro- gram for him. For two years pro- fessional .people tried to give Terry what seemed: to be the im- possible. Hope of any degree of independence for Terry looked bleak. Terry's first chance at doing something for himself came when 'he was loaned an environ- mental control system. This° ap- paratus gave him hig first hint of independence since the accident. With a breath or a mouth move- ment he could call a nurse, turn on his light, or operate the radio, TV and the fan: The cost of this extension on Terry was covered by the hospital staff.

A scripture verse containing the word "love" will be the rollcall for the 'next meeting to be held at the home of Mrs. W. Beacdm. Mrs. J. SMith led a Bible study lesson on the life of Sarah. It proved to be most informative as she outlined the events that por- trayed the characteristics of faith, love, loyalty and devotion of this great woman, who was held in such high esteem by the Hebrew people. In closing, Mrs, Smith said, "This woman who lived 127 years presented us with the great miracle work' of the Bible." The 'study, "Mission Impos- sible—Unless", was introduced by 1V[rs. C. Hemingway.

Mobility was the obvious answer, the mobility of a wlchair, Various agencies were approachedi with- out success because of the high Tod involved in a custom built, specially adapted electric, wheel,, chair. When all avenues seerned exhausted, someone recalled that the March of Dimes Ability Fund might help. in a matter of months the Fund was able, to provide Terry with an electric Wheel- chair, tailored to his special needs' and complete with mouth operated controls. The, change this chair made in his life was no less than a miracle. Once he had this mobil- ity, limited though i*, his face regained colour, his eyes showed a spark of life and a bit of the Old Terry slowly returned. He was given the run of the hos- pital and the grounds, and before long, he could manage the oc- casional jaunt into the com- munity with a minimum of as- sistance.
