OUR CRIPPLED CHILDREN 1-14-41
Notes from the desk of Mrs. Luther Parman, Cowley county chairman of Crippled Children’s Activities.
MEMORIES
A fine young chap that has grown up so fast, trying hard to make me understand his appreciation. . . Fingering the lovely gifts from members of the Junior Service League and the Chandler club, then musing, “I’ve always wanted one like this,” he said. . . . Later, his sweet caress as he confided, “You’ll help me thank them both won’t you?”
Maybe this young woman had read the like in stories, but seeing it in real life, how different it was. . . . She also had lingered to chat and to watch the little girl’s excitement as each gift was placed in her lap and later on, to place the packages about the tree. Suddenly out of the house she ran and into the car. Her companion wasn’t ready to leave. Before her the child was crumpled up in her wheel chair. She had been hugging each mysterious package that was delivered to her from the Junior Service League members and her excitement knew no bounds as she watched her friend place each bundle at its most effective slant beneath the lighted Christmas tree. The delicate little frame quivered now with excitement in her effort to say, “Thank them for me,” and her eyes began to search the room for her other visitor.
A bit of reminiscence was upon the woman. It was but a few months back that she had watched this same sweet face, in deep concern and tears, then fearful that she would never again receive the home instruction. She had reached the conclusion quickly when the other children left for school. Her happiness knew no bounds when the League’s visiting teacher arrived. ... It was at Thanksgiving time that someone had questioned her: “And for what are you thankful?” and the answer came quickly, “To have my teacher”. . . . The sponsoring group had cared for her needs lovingly these many years. After all, what a sweet privilege to witness this at Christmas time.
It was a scene that she, was reluctant to leave. ... It was nearing dusk when she reached
befall the handicapped, was now moved by all this. . . . “You would have to be brave and face it like a lot of parents are trying to do,” she answered.
