• j . ■ . r ; .; ••• • ' .! Over a; year ago, ‘on February 26, 1951, one of the most popular boys.of E.K,C. was stricken with acute Arthritis. To the boys he had been chumming with, it was a great shock, because -earlier that month, ' . ' Hog. Matthews had been playing hockey at Bronx ‘rink. He thought ho had just hurt his fingers playirg hockey. He cpait ' school and went into hospital for Cortisone treatment. With the help of his parents, Reg. started a corres¬ pondence co ' ursenrd had made out very well with it. B „ing a great’ sporis Enthusiast, Reg follows such sports as hockey, ' baseball, and rugby ‘from his bed. He can toll his gang who won the recent games, or what trades have taken place. When the gang bought matching jackets, they bought one for Reg., as’he was t,he most popular fellow in the gang. Reg’s ‘illness, serious as it is, has not prevented his exercising daily. Today, he is making one of the finest bids to regain his original health. His daily exercises have been paying off because Reg. has begun to walk again, and slowly but surely, he will regain his strength. Never at any time did Reg. lose faith in himself, but he has always had before him the thought of getting out into the sunshine again with his pals. Best of luck from all at E.K.C. - Dave Tibbs.
