Show ! i t i UTAH LEHI FREE PRESS, LEHI, - rs A m. V.- i SEEN and HEARQ Is around tAe by Carter rield government," commented another Southern senator after studying the various roll calls on the reorganization bill. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of the service the South Carolina senator rendered the White House in leading the fight for this bill. Up until a few weeks before the final roll call the whole measure had been considered dead. It was believed that the senate would agree with the house in giving President Roosevelt his six additional assistants. But it was never dreamed that the senate would vote to abolish the office of comptroller, which has proved such an effective check on illegal spending, and the whole purpose of which is to make sure that before money is paid out, the purpose for which it is to be paid is in clear accord with the language of the law. Nor was it dreamed that the senate would hand the veterans' bureau over to White House control. Several factors contributed to the change. Most important, probably, were the secret promises made nobody knows how many. These promises included, it is assumed, a good job for Senator William H. Dieterich of Illinois, who is headed for retirement by the Illinois Democratic factions despite the most slavish devotion to the President, even extending to reversing his stand on the leadership battle last year between Senators Aiben W. Barkley of Kentucky and Pat Harrison of Mississippi. two, which would give the Georgia folks the impression that all was harmony in the party that Roosevelt was for George, that George was for the renomination for governor of Rivers, and that Rivers was for Roosevelt and George. He talked a good deal about his hopes, did "Chip." He persuaded Senator George, very much against the senator's will, to make the trip, and also which was not particularly against his will to say some complimentary things about Ed Rivers. Spilled the Beans The mere fact that George was riding on Roosevelt's train, and appearing with him on the platform, "Chip" thought, would be enough. It really did not make any difference if Roosevelt failed to say anything particularly friendly. The appearance would be enough. But Roosevelt, to "Chip's" chagrin, and to the enormous embarrassment of the George lieutenants, lashed out on the wage and hour scales in the South, and, on top of that, after assailing the forces of special privilege, turned smilingly to Governor Rivers and told the crowd their governor understood his aims and was fighting shoulder to shoulder with him. Which every one within sound of his voice interpreted as an open invitation to Governor Rivers to run against Senator George in the senatorial primary this fall, and run with Roosevelt's active support!

A lot of people haven't. But the disasters that robbed them of these faculties have usually inspired them to make the best of it. More often than not they've achieved outstanding success. Jessie Nineteen - year - old an is example. A few Simpson was acclaimed she back months Miss New Jersey, a personable young lady whose beauty and talent won admiration everywhere. Then one day she ran for a train, missed, and woke up in a hospital a few days later to find both her legs gone. Gone, too, were tennis, golf, dancing and other sports, but Jessie Simpson didn't weep about it like her friends. Disaster brought her a new life, and today she's receptionist at the New York city telephone office. Moreover, she's building a career as a commercial photographer's model, for Jessie's hands are 144-hou- r, ' Pimm . and Carve Useful Careers in World of Business remarknby beautiful. Legless Swimmer. Speaking of legless people, there's also the case of Charles (Zimmy) Zibelman of New York who lost his legs years ago in a Chicago trolley accident. Since then he has become famous as a stunt swimmer. He was photographed drinking beer and smoking cigars while 6wimming "across the Atlantic ocean" in the swimming pool of the Queen Mary. His most notable achievement is a swim down the Hudson river from Albany to New York last autumn. Last winter he planned a similar excursion from Miami to Havana, sharks permitting. In Provo, Utah, a high school student named Wilkins Nuttall is a lightweight wrestler even though he has but one leg! Nuttall used to stand on the sidelines until he said to himself one day, "What has any other wrestler got that I haven't got?" and proceeded to give more experienced matmen a run for their money. Of course he can't apply a "scissors" hold, but it is equally impossible for an opponent to apply the "split" on him. Success on "Stilts." In the village of Bcllflower, Calif., lives Ralph Veady, a leading business man and bicycle rider who nevertheless has no legs. Seven years ago Ralph was working his way through Whittier college by driving a tractor. One day the tractor overturned and he regained consciousness to find his legs gone. Today, seven years later, Veady conducts his jewelry business, drives his car and even dances, with the aid of artificial legs. A star performer in many amateur races, Veady is also an expert swimmer and a clever skater with or without his legs. Only a few miles from Bellflower, in Huntington Park, lives Miss Clover Kerr, who lost both legs and one arm in a traffic accident last year. Like Jessie Simpson, she refused to be pitied, outlining a new career before she left her hospital bed. Today she has found the way to happiness and usefulness through service. Miss Kerr is artist, counselor, philosopher and fairy godmother to hundreds of crippled youngsters in the Far West through her dailv 1 ft ""t SM: onrt.:...V' your Overcome Handicep CORRESPONDENT "I see Jimmy Washington.

Few joys can compare to that ol the blind person who regains his sight through surgery. In Asbury Park, N. J., Mrs. Ella Reynolds was taken home from the hospital to see the three children whose faces she had often caressed, but whom she had never seen. After 15 years of total, blindness she was again made happy by surgeons who removed cataracts from her eyes. In El Paso, Texas, Julian Galindo could only exclaim, "It's wonderful! beautiful!" when he saw the w:orld for the first time in his life. And a grandmother in Denver, whose sight was restored after 20 years, could see her three grandchildren after years of wondering what they looked like.

She writes her own program and answers countless letters which roll in every day. And early this year she complained because 1933 wouldn't have enough days, weeks and months to permit accomplishment of all she had planned ! Blind, But Not to Color! Helen Keller is not America's only accomplished blind person. Her remarkable career is almost equalled by that of Miss Nettie Timonds, farm manager of Bladensburg, Iowa. When she was three years old Miss Timonds was stricken with diphtheria and was left unable to talk. Two years later speech returned, but then came deafness. Nor was this the end of her bad luck, for in lC3.'i Miss Timonds fell on her head am! went blind .on Thanksgiving day. Undaunted, she has become a successful farmer, aided by her . . trusty hired man, Perry Wilson. He will tell you that Miss Timonds is a crank about her peonies; she insists that the duTercnt varieties and colors be grouped end blended just so. And old rose is her favorite color, used freely to decorate the home which she designed personally- But Miss Timonds and Helen Keller both had to learn the hard way, &4 1 twelve-year-ol- d new hope in the joy of living. The most publicized case is that of Frederick Snite, Jr., whose millionaire father willingly spends $2,000 a day to keep his son alive in the "iron lung" which may be his home for the next 10 years. Stricken in China during a cruise. young Snite has lived in the lung al most two years but has never lost courage. He jokes with his nurses and his parents, keeps up an interest in world news and plays chess by calling his moves. round-the-wor- ld From Cripple to Athlete.
