I Remember!
BY JAN JENKINS
There is a story told from a
children’s hospital in South A
merica where every afternoon
a child’s voice would ring out
in concert. His songs could be
heard throughout the corridors
of the large hospital.
Weeks passed, his singing im
proved, months went by and the
singing began to take on a pro
fessional quality that was rare
ly found. By the end of the year
—all the people in the hospital
found themselves waiting for the
boy to sing at his usual hour.
Finally the boy left the hos
pital, and eventually went on to
become a great and beloved
concert singer. People through
out his country flocked to hear
him sing.
The boy was a victim of polio,
and the doctors had recom
mended he sing to strengthen
his lungs. At first the child was
merely following orders—then
he began to feel his songs . . •
the people who listened began to
feel the magic of his voice. They
loved him so that they later
made him a national idol.
Our thought to remember:
LOOK FOR THE BRIGHT SIDE
—IT IS ALWAYS THERE!

enthusiasm for birds and finding
additional birds that visit her
yard conveyed interest to all of
the Daughters.
After living in New York for
several years, Mrs. Honan mov
ed to Hastings on the Hudson
and she began to realize how
much she had missed seeing
birds. Now, 18 years later,
she enjoys sharing her hobby
and her family’s hobby with
others, which she has done since
she started putting out bread
crumbs and scraps in small
pieces.
Os all the hobbies in the world,
there are more bird watchers,
she said. It is a hobby for all
ages. She showed color pictures
of rare birds she has spotted in
her yard, they were exhibited to
allow the DA Rmembers to recog
nize these birds, she told of the
feeder just outside her break
fast room window, where she
feeds the birds, via a pulley.
She invited local members to
visit the Wildlife Refuge in Quit

acres set aside as a refuge.
It is open throughout the week,
but appointments must be made
to be able to visit the refuge on
the week ends.
The Regent introduced the
speaker, who has been a friend
since girlhood in Eufaula, Ala.
Mrs. Boyett presented Mrs.
Honan a gift, a bird feeder and
sunflower seeds for the feeder.
At this time, Mrs. Boyett asked
all DAR members to look under
their chair, where feeders had
been placed along with packages
of seed to be used in the feeders.
The FFA members, cooperating
with the Regent and Conservation
Chairman, Mrs. R. E. Mills,
made the feeders and will have
others on sale for people who
would like to buy a bird feeder.
