Recently added to the group was Mrs. Frankie Burton of Red Cross and well-known on TV. Thcso Grey ladies take turns at the duty. And each morning at 10 o'clock, the men o the domiciliary who cunnot read for themselves wait for the assigned reader anxiously. When the Grey lady ar rives, she brings to them something which they other wise would not have. She brings them the news and the current events and sometimes reads to them articles or stories in magazines. She reads to them for one hour. These men, due to poor eyesight and various other causes, are unable to read. Some have good eyes but have been shocked into a sort of withdrawal from the world. These disabled men cannot bear to peruse bald printed statements in print. Current news cannot be borne unless there is an inter mediary to read the stark facts of events and happen ings of the present world.
