IN Isabel CotviUe APPRECIATION Appreciation I suppose is dif ferently Interpreted by each who reads this column There are a vast number of persons who like to hear good music listen to fine lectures and talks see good pictures eat wonderful foods and admire good craftsmanship of many kinds and yet If confronted with the people responsible for these things become absolutely tongue tied and cannot give voice to their appreciation I think if these people could realize what it would mean to the giver of any of these things to the public they would over come their shyness and say a few words of praise for the ef fort made I think sometimes that the lack of appreciation of some things or the ability to ex press that appreciation comes the way we take in cer tain things How do you read a book for instance With me books have been one of the strongest Influ in my life Books I read as a child read and reread arc as fresh in my memory today as when I first read them and more they have influenced my life People nowadays tend to look down on the childrens books of my generation Well maybe some of them tended to be too good to be true but at any rate they inspired one with high ideals and they had humor too although not of the comic book sort Of course to me a book is a new country to be explored Its personnel to be made friends of or sometimes enemies To be laughed with wept over In fact sometimes they beame too real and I wonder which world Im living in So I live every life in a book that enthralls me and if a book disgusts me in the be ginning and if it is my own I watch it burn with great satis faction If the author of a book that has given me something I need ed is alive I try to write a few words of appreciation and send it through the publishing house It may not mean a thing to the author but I feel I have tried to pay a little on the debt I owe And do you ever go through a picture gallery You just cast a glance at some and then sud denly you come to one that seems to belong to you Maybe its a KIDNEY PILLS TM stretch of water vanishing in the distance into a soft haze and as you look you realize you love it because at some time in your life you have sailed happily on just such a a placid stream It touches a nostalgic chord of memory bringing back friends and places almost forgotten We appreciate the power the painted scene has to bring back other scenes Its power is mani fold its beauty a mirror And what docs music do to you Is it just a mixture of pleasant or unpleasant sound or docs it sometimes lift you to the very gates of heaven or as in some of the weird and en tangled modern music drop you to some unholy depth Music is like picking flowers in a beautiful garden Just as pick out some lovely bloom in a garden so you pick out some exquisite theme in a piece of music Or its like a lovely little stream winding its way though field and forest light and shade For so is the theme It too has light and shade and places where the birds join their songs to the melody and little cascades and big obstacles where the sound is fortissimo Music has something for everybody its the universal language Wc show our appreciation by the way we try to enter into the composers idea And then there is the stage And how soon we appreciate the difference between the person who really becomes the charac ter he or she is acting and the other who whatever he or she says or does is still Fanny Smith or John Brown And do we ever appreciate and say so the skill and know ledge that goes into fine sewing good cooking and the evils of making and building and dec orating And look at a garden The poet says One is nearer Gods heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth And when you look at a garden on which love and care have been lavished is it not true There is the song of birds at tracted by the bushes and shrubs there arc the busy bees the butterflies and the humming birds attracted by the nectar- filled flower cups and there is the fragrance like the breath of heaven There is so much in this world to appreciate and give so little time to enjoy or voice it It seems to me that apprecia tion is a combination of a warm heart a keen mind a love of beauty and a desire to pass on that appreciation to the sources from whence it springs that be not possible then to try to absorb as much of that beauty into oneself that it can be given out again Summing it up I would say that our appreciation of all the good and beautiful things of life is best shown when try to give them out again full ure pressed down and running 1 over HERE IS HEALING Editor Note This biweekly article series wit contain interesting fads about hospitals and is published as a public service by this newspaper in cooperation with the Ontario Hospital Asso ciation There was a time and not so many years ago that infants prematurely born sometimes did not live more than a few hours Despite all the ingenuity and re sourcefulness of medical men the light of life in the little premat ure bodies flickered and went out Today for various reasons some unknown there are more premature births In Canada than in the past Happily however many more of these flickering lights are kept burning and ulti mately glow with the same bri ghtness as those with normal be ginnings There are several for this among them the a vailabillty of modern drugs trans fusions and improved
