Gratitude Is Hard
To Express. Say
Ray and Joyce Hope
“Sometimes a fellow can be
grateful from the bottom of his
heart but when he starts to say
‘thank you’ it sounds like it just
comes from the teeth out, Ray
Hope said.
"I guess I don't know how to
make fancy speeches but both my
daughter Joyce, and I are grateful
for our good friends who have
done so much for us,” he said.
A community benefit dance was
staged last week to raise funds
toward getting new artificial legs
for Hope who had been hospitalized
seven times for leg amputations.
During his most recent hospital
ization a group of friends renova
ted his apartment in the rear of
his Second Hand Store, partition-,
ing off a living room and building
a ramp over the step into the bed
room so he cait navigate^ his wheel
chair across it.
They also lowered bathroom and
kitchen fixtures to convenient
wheel chair height.
Joyce recently returned from the
Mt Edgecombe orthopedic ward
v here she underwent a delicate
seinal operation through the as
Ei-tance cf the Alaska Crippled
Children’s Association.
Doth Ray and Joyce Hope put
in their appearances briefly at the
.benefit dance which was sponsored
by the Moose Club, the Elks, Fil
ipino Community, Teen Age Club,
and other civic and fraternal or
ganizations. The musicians dona
ted their services and special en
tertainment.

INSANITY PROBLEM
SAN FRANCISCO——The im
pairment of one’s ability to com
municate with others is the basic
problem in insanity, according to
a new book by two University of
California professors.
This distortion of communica
tion prevents the schizophrenic,
for example, from receiving mes
sages correctly and makes it im
possible for him to evaluate the
information he receives, the book
states.
The book, “Communication; The
Social Matrix of Psychiatry," is
the work of Jurgen Ruesch, asso
ciate professor of psychiatry, and
Gregory Bateson, lecturer in.med
ical anthropology.
