Mrs. Grace Skillman, who lives just north of Shelbyville, Ind., said she hopes to sell this violin stamped "Stradivarius" to bring enough money to build a new home. She said the violin has been in her late husband's family for many years. The instr men has markings indicating it was made in 1730, even years before the death of the famed violin maker Antonius Stradivarius. (UPI) The Family Council Editor's note: The FamUy Council consists of B judge, e phychlatrlst, three clergymen, three editors and a women's editor. Each arUcle Is a summary of a family disagreement presented to the Council. The Council deals with problems, major and minor, encountered by guidance counselors and social workers. Edited by Mrs. Alma Denny. (Copyright by General Features Corp.) The process has been going on, of course, since the bar barians sacked Rome 16 cen turies ago, and carried away many of its treasures. Medieval popes and princes continued it, stripping the Coloseum of marble and stone and razing great pagan build ings to erect churches and pal aces. In the 20th century dictator Benito Mussolini ruthlessly tore down old buildings and sealed over ancient ruins to build broad avenues from Pi azza Venezia to the Colosseum and from the Tiber River to St. Peter's Basilica. Park Closed Off The park of the Villa Strohl- fern, said to be one of the city's most beautiful, is closed off to Romans behind high walls because it belongs to the French Academy. The Doria-Pamphili Palace, one of the architectural mas terpieces that ring Piazza Na- vona, has been sold to Brazil for its embassy. The park of the Villa Abam elek cannot be visited because it is part of the Russian Em bassy An American-built hotel and apartment buildings are going up on Monte Mario, a long, green hill that encloses- the city to the northwest. Other new buildings are springing up along the ancient Appian and Aurelian ways. One of the city's best mu seums has moved out of the historic old center of Rome into a modern building in a remote section built by Mus solini and is viewed as a dese cration on the face of Rome. On top of all this, three de velopments in recent months brought on outpouring of in dignation and protest from the Italian press. Plan Religious Institute First was the news that a modern religious institute was being built on Caelian Hill, al most within the shadow of the Collesseum and other ancient monuments. Then came word that an other Doria-Pamphill palace, this one on the Janiculum Hill, was about to be sold to Bel-glum. And finally a real estate firm advertised the Poli Pal ace against which the famed Trevi Fountain is built, was up for sale as an embassy, ho tel or other commercial build ing. Under a new regulatory plan for the city of Rome- which is aimed at preserving the city's historic treasurcs the palace and it 400 acres of ground were destined to be acquired by the authorities for use as a public park. But both the national and city government say they can't af ford to buy the palace. : Xt.V IssssfcA l 1 Jr&J tCy, Is' A Yj't - CI RELEASED The East Ger mans have released a five-year-old girl, Beate Kernke (above) so she can travel to her mother In California.

Stella B. - Due to his handi cap he won't even try to do anything. Roy B. - It's no use attempt ing anything if you can't get around. a Stella B. - My husband is confined to a wheelchair and he is letting that handicap be the excuse for just going com pletely to pot. He's not quite 60 yet, has a wonderful mind, and a real talent for photogra phy and sculpture. But he's not following through on any of the job ideas, or the hobbies and interests which the reha bilitation people worked out with him in the hospital. The latest project he just threw over was wood-carving. If he'd gotten good at it, ne was in line for some work making scale models for the next World's Fair. But he's convinced he can't compete and he gives up without a fair try. 9 Roy B. - I'm sick of all the pep talks. I get them from the visiting social worker, from my wife, and from those other marvels who can lick the world from a wheelchair.

With that wood-carving, T reached a point where I just had to get to the museums and the gift shops. There's a limit to what I can get from books and magazines and TV. No matter what I turn to, I find myself stymied by the need to travel from place to place. . The Council: Was there really a will, Roy? If not, that's why there was no way. For when you show a willing ness to move an inch, there's Stella plus conscientious indi viduals and agencies who are eager to stretch that inch into city blocks. Wheelchairs gel to museums and art exhibits every day. True, some of them are "well heeled" chairs, wafted by pri vate chauffeurs. Others, how ever, are transported aloft the "magic carpets" woven by the American Red Cross and or ganizations such as the Feder ation of the Handicapped (211 W. 14 St., N.Y.C.). This latter group, for example, keeps a file of drivers who can lift a wheelchair into and out of a roomy high-top car. These skilled "cabbies" get people like Roy anywhere, and at nominal costli And to cut through Roy's glum mood even further, here are two other glimpses at a brighter future. Denver, Colo., has set the rest of the nation an exciting example in con verting station wagons into taxis for people in wheel chairs. A company called "Chair Cabs, Inc." runs a fleet of 25 of these vehicles, complete with ramp and Im mobilizing brackets. And in New Jersey, there is official awareness of how great a barrier even one step to climb is for a citizen in a wheelchair, or even on crutches. How forbidding those steep flights in front of public buildings. Thus, to en able handicapped people to get around independently, old building's are being modified, and new ones must show plans to accomodate them. Garden State Parkway restaurants, for example, now have ground level or ramped entrances. Emphasis today, Roy, is on how much you can do, on what skills you still have. You seem to have plenty. Avail yourself of the willing hands, both inside and outside your four walls. "Where to, sir?" Anywhere you say.
