STAMPED STRADIVARIUS Stradlvarius? 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.

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.

work. You must deliver. How
much can a person learn,
cooped up in the four walls
of his home?
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.
