tribunedecember5 1990 p5 more editors mail reading is no problem with credit vouchers for kids dear editor as a senior citizen who grew up before television i took a great deal of pleasure in reading i loved to escape via a good book to far away places and meet interesting people therefore i was most concerned that my two preteen and earlyteen grandchildren disliked reading they groaned when required to do a book review for school they would much rather watch tv i gave books for birthdays and christmas which were received with polite thanks but where hard ly ever opened i had the idea of giving them a credit voucher at john lords book store it was a hit they both spent happy hours on several occasions spending their money admittedly some choices were stephen kings horror stories but they also chose help for head injured dear editor id like to bring to your attention the plight of persons who have sus tained a head injury due to some kind of trauma to the brain most patients are sent to a trauma unit in a major hospital for immediate treatment because of this their lives are saved but the families are then left almost totally on their own to find the appropriate

the speaker for palliative care a group of people who support families of the terminally ill i learned about its care and it could not have happened at a better time my son was in a scarbor ough hospital so iphoned betty she was quite helpful we talked and she said i will take you tothe hospital dont go by yourself so on a fri day we went it was wonderful to see my son whether he knew me or not it was hard to tell but betty was there and said keep talking he opened his eyes and squeezed my hand my prayers were answered we stayed for more than three hours the following saturday barbara
