Other agencies are helping him, such as the Utah Society for Crippled Children, orthopedic medical care provided by the Utah State Department of Health at the Children's Hospital at Fort Douglas and the corrective speech clinic at the University of Utah. Paul's improvement within the past five years is an almost unbelievable story of courage, determination, proper instruction and probably the most important of all, a never wavering deter- mination that this child must not be condemned to a lifetime of complete invalidism. When Paul was 2, his parents adopted a little girl that their son might have the normal compan- - mentally would be the joy developed of any special educational class. All told, Paul nas had eight years of physical and academic development, which includes three years of physical therapy and five of special instruction through the school district visiting teacher service. He has learned to hold himself erect, to sit without support, is able to put all educational toys together and can stand unassisted with crutches and braces. He speaks plainly at times and even under emotional and nervous disturbances can make himself understood. He can dictate a story or letter without errors and can remember all his related subjects. Paul's was the first name on the e children in roll of need of educational training at the time the visiting teacher program was inaugurated five years ago in this district. Twice weekly Mrs. Parks visits her young pupil at his home and Mrs. Mendenhall helps Paul carry out his assignments during in- - tervening periods. Paul is given the same assignments and uses the same text books as the fifth grade class of which he normally would be a member in the Lehi school.

Miss Clover, daughter of Mrs. Clara Clover, was one of a group of 35 honored in the lovely exercises. Mrs. Shirley Ann Tuckett Tew, sister-in-lato Mr. and Mrs. Berl Peterson, was also in the group. Mrs. Tew is a student at the LDS hospital. The theme of the capping exercises was, "Although the Lamp is Heavy, We Will Hold It High and Dr. A. W. Keep It Burning." Middleton was the speaker of the evening, recalling the life of Florence Nightingale as a challenge to the young nurses. As the cap was awarded to each student, she was presented with a replica of Florence Nightingale's lamp with tiny lighted candle. The entire group stood, holding their lights, during the singing of "The Lord's Prayer," by Miss Colleen jqk, soprano, who also sang, "You'll Never Walk Alone." 1953 Mr. and Mrs. HONORED OX BIRTHDAY Laurel Madsen and baby daugh- An flttrflPtivA llinrhfvn hnnirad ter; Miss Ferrell Madsen, Janice Mrs. A.

At an impressive ceremony held in Kingsbury Hall on the Univer- sity of Utah campus, Miss Petra work outlined for this age group and thus Paul is kept abreast of the other children his age. The visiting teacher sought outside help in order to coordinate the effort she was making to help this child. Paul Mendenhall is fortunate. He is being reared in a home where normal atmosphere and homelife are maintained. He loves animals, especially horses and seated in front in the saddle and braced against his father, he rides and hunts with him. He has a new wheel chair and gets' about the place remarkably well. He enjoys radio and television. Paul's case is a clear cut example bearing out the theory that children afflicted with cerebral palsy develop faster if the mind is developed along with the body. stay-at-hom- NO DOWN THURSDAY, MKS.
