ST. .1 LL CHEERFUL
(Goderich Signal -Star)
Despite beingcrippled fol'
about six .years with- multiple-
sc1eros s• -the past two of thein
in bed at Alexandra .Hospital
Roy Stingel, 50, of Dungannon,.
radiates a cheerfulness. that has
become abyword at the hospital
and a source of amazement to all
who • visit .in -the Wing,
A ''native of Yarmouth, Nova
Scotia; he is as refreshing: as the
Atlantic.'Ocean breezes' that
sweep ir7 over his old home
town` 'where, as a :boy, h•e 'play=
ed' and. the: boats that made
up thehing.• fleet there
From, YarrnOultF he went' as` a'
youth to near Foston, Mass,ut.
'"not wanting to b.ecome a ..Yan-
kee"; he decided to head back
to -Canadian ".territory. As a ,re
sult, ' he went.. to. Toronto for.
several years., Some 2O years ago'
he left ...Toronto and came to
Dungannon, the home ' of his
Wife. During .these 'years he has
been a•. painter and decorator, •
But; his, hobby is poetry, and
in his• time he has written hun;,
dreds :of poems. Even at the 'age
of, ten • he was :writing poetry.
If he were to recite,' one: after
another, every -poem •he has 'writ-
ten, :it would' •cake i any...ho'urs
to go through thern.:Rernember
ing completely most :of the
poems ..he has written, }1e. can
recite therm •off one ;after ani.=
Other;'. Arid he . does so 'for tlte.
entertainment of° himself, . and
visitors to:. the : hospital..• ; •
Although ;his illness left Jilin
so .crippled he can . not sit up,
let alone wr.•ite•in ''a; normal: Man-
ner, he has .devised a. means -of
getting. his poetic' thoughts dOWin
On :paper. •.Lying flat on ',his.
stomach; ••with 'his : left , hand .out=
stretched holding_ the •paper, .he;.
Slowly: . and .'laboriously etches
•out his writing 'with his right
hand, Tike :one tying a knot in:
a; • string. • with ',arms.' tretched•
high above the head. He .alone
can 'decipher his own handwrit-
ing,:
andwriting,: which is true : also of ., the
writer .of •this colurrrn. No 'soon-
er
soon-er is the poem written. ,than it
is stored in :his memory for years.

took `place :On The; Farmer and
the ' U,rban., Worker, .Is .was the

was more, independent . but the.

However, we, felt that each group

Then 'he 'added, "I'm not
a poet; ,,.1 just: like 'to mut down
words' to :express,;;rny' thoughts"".:
Like many people who have •

has strong religious convictions:
