There are lots of them. Far more
than the averaRe person realizes.
In a low. rambling brick Duua-
Ing amid luxurient surroundlnRsH
off Bummers lane, 36 older people
rest quietly, recovering irom tnc
ills of age and loncllcsss.
They are all patients at the Klam
ath county farm, most of them
sent there by tho countv welfare
olllce. Half of them are bed-ridden,
unable to leave their beds more
than a lew minutes a day
They live wlihln the confines ol
the main building, under the close
supervision of Supt. L. A. Smltlri
and Mrs. Smith, who acts as his
assistant. Fourteen staff members
are on call for duty there.
Eighteen other patients, recup
erating and able to move around
more, reside in the cottages that
grace the north side of the hos
pital properly.
None of the patients, bedridden
or convalescent, have recreation.
ThouRh life there is not unhappy
and without cheer. It's a long way
from the active, full lives that
many of the patients led in their
younger and more healthful days.

Kelly.

tive figure. A stocky, well built
fellow now 58 years old. Kelly's
character-lined face reveals his
past, though he may not mention
a word of U.
The reason Kelly's a county
ward: he's almost entirely blind.
When one enters his room, in
one of the outlying cotlaRes, Kelly
bounds to his feet with the grace
of an athlete which, not so long
ago, he was.
In his early years he was a flRht-
t0 er. boxing In the featherweight dl- lm fof tne sUff A of tne sttt,f

Is the reason I never boxed In the

Kelly says he was an assistant
athletic director In two gymna
siums, and was on the stage lor
some time as an acrobat.
