The author tells of seeing a pretty smiling young girl on a bus. When the girl got up to leave, she reached for a crutch and the author noticed she had only one leg. The poet wrote forgive me when I whine; I have two legs, the world is mine. Next the author met a young man selling sweets. They chatted for a while, and the young man men­ tioned how good it was to.talk to someone. He got lonely because he was blind. Then the author said, forgive me when I whine; I have my sight, the world is mine. Finally the poet en­ countered a boy watching some other children playing. The boy didn’t seem to know what to do, and the author suggested that he play with the others. When the boy didn’t answer, the author realized he was deaf. The writer said, forgive me when I whine; I can hear, the world is mine. I suspect the author’s in­ tention was to show gratitude for sight, hearing, mobility and all the other blessings in his life and to urge other people, who had sight, hearing, mobility, etc., to appreciate what they had. I won’t argue with that. All of us take life and its blessings for granted and don’t show enough ap­ preciation. Unfortunately, I think the author chose a poor way to show his appreciation. The poem intimates that the world does not belong to the girl with the crutch, the young man without sight and the boy without hearing. The author and anyone else who shares that at­ titude, even subconsciously, must be corrected. The world belongs to everyone including the blind, deaf, cerebral palsied, paraplegics, quadraplegics, amputees, physically handicapped, mentally handicapped and socially handicapped. A writer from Toronto, who is physically han­ dicapped, submitted an editorial on the poem to a newspaper published by a handicapped association in Windsor. He asked non-handicapped readers to consider this: “If you were told from time immemorial and from all directions that, since you were in a wheelchair or physically different, you were helpless and would always be dependent, that you would not be convinced of it? Everybody and his uncle say so, then it must be so, so helpless I will be!” He adds that his idea of “keeping the handicapped happy” differs from that of some people. He “cherishes the philosophy that we should enjoy, each to his own ability, the same heart­ breaks, traumas, failures, achievements, goals and hard work as our fellow man.” His idea of “keeping the handicapped happy”, he concludes, ‘‘is to instill pride, confidence and a sense of invincibility in the Psychic Reading Also Card Readings If you have a problem on marriage, love, health, business, etc , don't wait.

It can be more harmful than constructive, even though it wasn’t meant to be. We must all realize we were made by the same Creator, and if he didn’t want some of us to be han­ dicapped, he wouldn’t have bothered. The world is yours; the world is mine; the world belongs to everyone. %7 J VII I Open Thursday and Friday nights till 9:00 P.M. $ » I ,✓ - Ml •» v' A a- PHONE 235-0212 open six days a week PLENTY OF PARKING AT REAR OF STORE ■ WE DELIVER SUPERIOR QUALITY MEATS Ji MR.
