Speaking of

Your

My father had a stroke six
months ago. They said he
would never recover, but he {s
a courageous man. Now,
except for the fact that he
can’t walk, his biggest
problem is that he can’t speak.
This seems to bother
most. It’s frustrating to him
and he becomes irritable when
he can’t get out the words he’s
trying to pronounce. Is there
any hope that he will even-
tually regain his speech? —
Mr. H.W., Maine. ‘

Dear Mr. W.:

Many patients who have
suffered a stroke now are
rehabilitated and can again
function in many serviceable
ways. The sclence of
rehabilitation has advanced
enormously in recent years, In
fact, rehabilitation starts
almost immediately, once the
patient is able to be treated by
any of the remarkable
methods that are now
available. The result is that
many patients who might
otherwise have been
bedridden and incapacitated
are able to function in a
dignified and constructive

way.
A stroke, or “apoplexy,” is
the common name for a
sudden interference with the
normal blood supply to the
brain. The. blockage of an
artery which carries life-
sustaining oxygen to the brain
can be caused by a clot
(thrombus), the narrowing of
the artery due to ar-

Ranger District

Friends and work assoc-
iates gathered last Saturday
evening at the Ranger station
in Salmo to salute assistant
ranger Lino Muto, who is
leaving the B.C. Forest Ser-
vice after 23 years.

Upon his arrival Muto
was given a silver mug from
Ranger District 21 (Salmo)
and his wife, Bonnie, received
a corsage.

A crowd of 70 people
enjoyed the barbeque and
salads prepared by members
of both Swift Creek Logging
and the forestry student
crew. After the dinner, mas-
ter of ceremonies. Rob Gay,
introduced several speakers
who related amusing anec-
dotes from their working days
with Muto.

Gifts were also presented
to the guest of honor at this
time, including a “WorkMate”
portable workbench from
members of the Nelson Forest
District; a multi-purpose tool
and a cross-cut saw inscribed
with his forestry work his-
tory; as well as two plaques to
adorn the walls of’ his new
office.
