(P) Re becca Cross, the valiant lady ed itor who lost both legs in an auto mobile accident, said she's send ing for her passport. "But Becky," I gasped, "surely you can't be thinking of traveling yet." "Oh, no," she laughed, "not quite yet. I Just wanted to find otlt how tall I was. Your passport is about the only document I know of that shows it." That remark, that attitude, is so characteristic of the Lock Haven.'

I still didn't quite understand. "I'm ordering my artificials soon," she said, "and I've simply got to decide how tall I want to be." She laughed. "At first," she said, "I thought I might like to up myseli five inches so I could see over the heads of the orowda at parades. But then I decided that would offer a real problem. I'd have to get an entirely new wardrobe, one to fit a 6-foot-10 gal. I used to be ahniit K - .nnt ft Dtmn-A Kul T'll have to read my passport to find out for sure." .. What do you say to a person like that? If you don't have a hole in your nead you don t say any thing. You just listen In un ashamed admiration to a very wonderful human being, making her way back, to normalcy with dignity and a sense of humor. Rebecca Gross lost her less about S p.m. on New Year's live. She was driving her car through Wllltamsport, Pa., on the way to the airport to meet her sister. when, wham I There it was.' Two cars collided at an intersection and pinned Becky against a tele phone pole. left leg was amputated be low the knee, the right leg just above the knee. But save your sympathy for someone who needs it. Becky has no use for it.

The last time I had sat and talked and laughed with her had been In my apartment in Moscow, Not a year ago. "You know," she said, . "you must have had a real tough time over there. Over Ini Russia with your Russian wife and children when they couldn't get out. You really" . - "Stop It. Becky," I Interrupted. "I'm damned if I've come over here to receive your sympathy and commiseration!" She' didn't say it but she gave me a look that said she hoped I hadn't come over there to give her my sympathy and commiser ation. I hadn't. People were all around us. Peo ple with one leg. People with no legs. People with one arm. And people with no arms. People who were rehabilitating themselves with the help of Dr. Henry Kess ler. I looked at these people. A young girl. An elderly man. A man In the 40s. About 12 of them. No one appeared self-conscious. 'I imagine I know what you're thinking," said Becky. "No. none of us is self-conscious. That's part of the battle, you see." We told a Joke. Becky laughed again. What are you going to uo wnen you get through here?" Go back home," she said, "and try to lead just as normal a life as possible." "How long Is it going to iake7" "I thought about three months, So you wont to play the ORGAN Phone 2-3200 ERNEST ARMSTRONG but J heard It'll probably take longer." she explained. "I'll learn to walk on one artificial leg first. With crutches. And then I'll learn to walk on both lees." , "Becky." I said, "you are splen did. People used to ask me at Moscow parties how I was able to smile and laugh all the time when it looked as if I was stuck there for life. I never told them, but I used to have my private hell about 6 o'clock in the morn ing when I couldn't sleep and all I could do was think." "Mine comes at 3 a.m.," sold Becky, very quietly and without a trace of emotion. "Look," she said, changing the subtect, "did you know people with no legs can have toe pains?" She explained. With a laugh. As usual. "Eddy," she said, "I'm getting real strong. I did 10 pushups with my hands today. Why, before my accident, all t ever. got up for was to go get a drink of -water. And sometimes that was an effort. Now look at me. It's easy." She was conducting a safety campaign for her paper when she had her accident. Commenting on lt, she said: "The place where your accident is going to happen looks like any other spot you have passed in safety a thousand times. I suppose I snail never drive up to an Intersection again, or approach a sharp curve In the road, without thinking, "This is the place where I may have an accident.' " " J Despite her trouble, she doesn't preach. But she thinks that is something every , American should remember that the place where your accident is going to happen mm Music Students Honored I Thirteen Klamath Union High Dcnooi muaio students nave been honored jy selection lor the Al-1 State Orchestra.
