RuARY 17th, 1955
Despite being crippled for
about, six years with multiple -
sclerosis --the past two of them
in at at Alexandra Iospital—
Roy Stingel, 50, of Dungannon,.
radiates a cheerfulness that
has become a byword at the
hospital and a source of a-
mazelnent to all who visit in
the Wing.
A native of Yarmouth, Nova
Scotia, he is as refreshing as the
Atlantic Ocean breezes that sweep
;in over his 'old home town where,
as a boy, he played around the
boats that made up the fishing
fleet there.
From Yarmouthn he went as
a youth to near Boston, Mass.,
but "not wanting to become a
Yankee," he decided to head
back to Canadian territory.
As a result, he went to Tor-
onto for several years. Some
20 years ago, he left Toronto
and came to Dungannon, the
home of his wife. During
these—years . he. .has . been.. a
painter and decorator.
se But his hobby is po'e'try and in
se
time he has written hundreds
of poems. Even at the age of ten
he was writing poetry. If he were
to recite, one after another, every
poem he has written, it would take
many hours to go thrbugh them.
Remembering completely most of
the poems he has written, he can
recite them off one after another.
And he does so for 'the entertain:
ment of himself and visitors to the
hospital.
Although his illness left him
so crippled he can not sit up,
let alone write in a normal
manner, he has devised a
means' of getting his poetic
thoughts dawn on paper. Lying
flat on his stomach; with his
left hand odtstretehed'holding
the paper, he slwly and labor-
iously etches out his writing
.......-,.,.,,-, v?vitTi-'Ill's •• rigFi`"11<h�d'; Ti�.+e'""iin'"e"--,..,:
tying a knot in a string with
arms stretched high above the •
head. He, alone can decipher
his own handwriting, which is
true also of the writer of this
column. No sooner is the poem
written than it is stored in his
memory for years to come.
When we asked Roy why he
liked poetry he said, "It's •like oat-
meal and porridge—just a filler."
Then he added, "'I'm not a poet; I
just like • to put down words
to
express my' thoughts."
•
Like • many people who have
suffered years of illness; Rift'
has strong religious convic-
tions. Evidence of this is re-
• fleeted in his philosophy of
life as he„ says, "I've much to
be thankful for since I have
sight, hearing and a clear mind
and these are not always found
with people who have, been
hospital patients for years."
Such is the outlook on life of
the man. Those with lesser ills
who come in contact with him
quickly forget. their self pity •when
they are exposed to Roy's contag-
ious optimism. The ° situation
could be aptly described .by a
i
maxiii' of long .standing: "I had no
shoes and complained untilel met
a man who had io feet."
A crippled bed patient at Alexandra Hospital for more than two years,O
Roy Stingel of Dungannon has written several hundred poems since he
was a young lad at his home town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Among
the -.' oems...is. "Sea F. ver.'•'- written .since be..has been a' patient and no
� e _
doubt ,prompted by happy boyhood Sys back on -the Atlantic coast.
In the picture above he is seen reading a, poem just completed while
two hospital nurses, Mrs. Howard Fowler and Miss Mildred Marwick,
look on. (Signal -Star photo' by Henry)

SEA FEVER
Oh, far the feel of, a'heaving deck,
And the smell of sea wind blowing;
Omer the waves' s—with''' breakers
flecked,
Till their' phosphorous light is
showing;
And slapping hard against the side
Of the boat on which we're sailing,
Over the ocean's foaming tide
With the sea gulls slowly trailing.
I long for the smell of clean sea air
And the sight of .running sea's;
And the sound of sea birds scream-
ing there,-
•Andesails . in.. a freshening breeze.
Then it's 0 for the feel of a good
stout ship
On the rolling sea green main,
'As r watch the bowsprit rise and
dip,
When we're outward bound again!
The call of the sea is loud and
strong q'
To those who have gone asailing,
And the feel of a good ship dipping
along,
With the sea gulls slowly trailing
Gets into the blood like a hiddea
fire 0.
Where it bursts into sudden frame,
And we yield once ,more to the
desire
For a ship and the 'sea again.

organizations attending the annual meeting of eA.leAcendre,
Marine and" General Hospital Association were told on Men -
day night by R. C. Hays, past chairman of the hospital board.
"We can build an arena and other things in ; town,". Mr.
Hays said. "I think the time has come for the town='to get
•behind the building of a new hospital."
Build Nucleus O'
Mr. Hays, who is chairman of the
board's planning committee for a
new addition, said he felt . that
,most people in Goderich realized
that it • was absolutely necessary'
to build the nucleus . for a new,
permanent hospital ,
"The government says our hos-
pital has become obsolete—and it
has,'' -he said.
He pointed out that everything
that had been done in connection
with new building and alterations
at the hospital in the last decade
' had`beeh with' a view that the day
would be coming when a new hos-
pital would be needed. "That day
is here," he said: "It's the town's
hospital—I think it's the respon-
sibility of the town as a whole."
