I'he development of minia
ture receivers has made the
use of hearing aids much
more attractive to Ameri
cans who suffer from a loss of
hearing. In the past, many
persons refrained from wear
ing hearing aids because
they did not want to wear the
device or were ashamed to
let other persons know of
their hearing defect.
The modern hearing aids
are so small that they are
virtually unnoticeable. The
hearing aid can be disguised
in the frame of eyeglasses
and in other ways to make
the device practically in
visible. A hearing aid is
actually a microphone, an
amplifier, a receiver and a
battery combined to aid the
hearing.
Aid is something we
speciali2e in at our phar
macy. Our competent phar
macists stand ready to give
you the best in service when
filling your prescription
needs. Your good health is
our number one concern.

|P) ‘Whatsoever
Things'
By Donald E. Wildmon
A W ORD ABOUT THE WIFE’S WORK
The other day I heard of the husband who required his
wife to keep the house spotless. He had her to keep
everything in place, clean, and in good working order. The
meals had to be on the table at the right time, and the yard
around the house had better match the inside.
Well, sir, I used to be that way. Used to be that when the
house got messed up I would become rather upset. Fact
about the business I used to use some unkind words to let
Lynda know I wanted the house to be kept looking a little
better. I say used to, for over a period of time I have changed
my opinion.
I guess I really changed my opinion one day when I
walked into the house and it was in a mess. I was all set to let
go with the usual verbal barrage when I stopped to think
things through. And I’m really glad I did, for it put the
finishing touches on changing my attitude.
Before I let loose with the chosen remarks I thought
about what Lynda had been doing all day. She had baked a
cake for the neighbor up the street, and that had taken a good
deal of her time. Then I thought of some of the other things
she did regularly. She had to get sewing done for the
children's clothes in order to save us a little money. She had
to cook all our meals, wash dishes, keep the clothes clean,
make sure the children were dressed correctly and neatly for
school. She made certain that they took their medicine and
vitamins.
Not only that but she was very active in the church. She
taught the little folks in Church School and worked with the
ladies group. Then, too, she tried to do her part in the
different organizations we were involved in. She had to make
sure the children got to their dancing lessons, swimming
lessons, and then she often had to baby sit for another mother
who had to visit the doctor or run an errand.
Not only that but she had some of her personal desires to
fulfill, which every person has a right to. And anytime
anyone asked her to do something to help them or their cause
- like the Mother's March of Dimes - she volunteered. She did
all this and much, much more.
I said I changed my opinion. I did. She is my wife. She is a
good wife and a good mother. She is a friend of several people
and a servant of God. With four small children to take care of
and a sometimes too lazy preacher to put up with, I decided
that what she needed wasn’t condemnation but recognition
and commendation.
It gets pretty messy around our house sometimes. I have
to kick some paper aside to walk occasionally. The yard
sometimes gets in a mess, also. I used to wonder what other
folks thought about it. But it doesn’t bother me now. If they
have been in the same situation they will understand, and if
they haven't then all the explanations under God’s sun
wouldn't convince them.
Yep, our house gets in a mess sometimes. But that
doesn't worry me because our home stays pretty neat. And I
win take a neat home and a messy house over a messy home
and a neat house any day of the week.
