Hospital's Therapy Cart Inspires Patients To Make Useful Articles By JEANNE LaBLONDE MOUNT KISCO— \Next to maternity, this is the happy service of the hospital,\ j said Mrs. Alonzo Clark in ex plaining the benefits of the ther apy cart at Northern Westches ter Hospital. Started on a weekly basis last fall, the program has grown to three days a week and has ex panded from the few items in shopping bags that it was origi nally to the grocery cart abound ing in hand-made articles that can be seen around the hospital today. The articles on the cart are not for sale but are samples made by volunteers. The ma terials and instruments used to make them are donated by church groups and individual contributors. Mrs. Clark, who is assisted by Mrs. Fred Malina of Mount Kisco, then instructs pa tients in the construction of sim ilar items. \The aim of the program is to give convalescent patients something to keep them occu pied and renew skill with their hands,\ Mrs. Clark explained. Approved By Board The idea came about after a conversation be t w e e n Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Gabriel Haus- ner, social service director at the hospital. It was subsequent ly approved by the social serv ice board and Mrs. George Wes- terberg of Mount Kisco became director of patient recreation service. In its early months the program lacked continuity, Mrs. Clark said, since not enough pa tients could be visited on the one day a week schedule. Mrs. Clark first came to the hospital as a volunteer and with the advent of the program was hired as assistant to Mrs. Wes- terberg. She has had training in occupational therapy and for merly worked in the Neuro-Psy- chiatric Institute in Hartford, Conn., now known as the Insti tute for Living. \I've always been interested in this type of work and have done a lot of hos pital volunteer work,\ she said. 2 Kinds of Therapy Constructing the articles dis played on the cart encompasses two kinds of therapy. The pure ly recreational end of it is known as diversional therapy. Occupa tional therapy, explained Mrs. Clark, is prescribed medical treatment with specific physical benefit to the patient. In this case, patients are referred to Mrs. Clark by a nurse, doctor or social service and the work they do on a project aids their recovery. In most cases patients can choose what they want to make, provided it's within their limita tions. Among the varied articles displayed on the cart are pot holders, pincushions, hot plates, yarn animals, banks and waste- baskets. The small budget allotted to the service covers the cost of tools, but for most of the ma terials donations are depended upon. Mrs. Clark welcomes con tributions of heavy knitting yarn felt, old nylon stockings, orange juice cans, metal cough drop boxes, pipe cleaners, ceramic tiles, masonite, styrofoam balls, and plastic containers without writing. Also needed are small black buttons for eyes and dis carded bed pads used to make potholders. Right now Mrs. Clark is looking fqr a pair of pinking shears that will cut in scallops. All articles donated must be in usable condition. Patients Knit Squares \We are always looking for ideas of something that's easy to make,\ Mrs. Clark said, \but everything must be geared to working in bed without upset ting the patient.\ Volunteers do the preparation work to make MRS. ALONZO CLARK is wheeling the Northern West chester Hospital's therapy cart. The many articles on the cart are not for sale, but are samples of the sort of things patients can make even while bedridden. Mrs. Clark, who,is assistant to Mrs. George Wes- terberg, director of patient recreation service, instructs patients in the fashioning of items on the cart. Materials and instruments are contribut ed by church groups and in dividuals.—Staff Photo by Jeff Harrell. things easier on the patient, and the articles available to make come in varied degrees of diffi culty. For those who wanted to knit but didn't want to under take a large project, Mrs. Clark recently started patients work ing on the Afghan. \Many of the patients donate what they make for samples on the cart,\ she said. Mis. Clark is not the only member of nor family who is interested in hospital work. Mr. Clark is a hospital architect and their daughter Robbm, 18, is spending her third summer as a candystriper at Northern West chester Hospital. Along with her other duties she assists her mother with the therapy cart. The Clarks live on Old Roaring Brook Road in Mount Kisco. The appreciation shown by the children in the pediatrics ward makes the work done by the patient recreation service even more rewarding. Recently a little boy who was a patient at the hospital for seven weeks received a unique \most out standing patient\ award for completing almost every project on the therapy cart.

North Westchester Times New 'Castle\ Tribune, Mount KISCQ, N.Y., Septembers, 1963 Speed Limit Concern Of School Board CHAPPAQUA— The Chappaqua Board of Edu cation held a discussion at a recent meeting concerning the road hazards that exist for the school children of the district. Many parents are concerned at the existing 50 mile speed limit where there are bus stops. This is a matter of concern to the board as well, explained Wil liam Hoeft, board president. This posting, however, is a state matter and a difficult one to get changed, according to the board. Mr. Hoeft .said that the board would attempt to get the help of the Board of Cooperative Educa tional Services in attacking the problem, since it no doubt ex ists in many areas in northern Westchester. The probelm will also be brought to the attention of the County Board of Super visors and the Westchester School Boards Association. Morris Lasker, member and past president of the board, pointed out the difficulties that any one district has when state roads were involved and highly endorsed an organized approach through the agencies mentioned. Dr. Charles Cowan, district superintendent, suggested that as a first step a complete sur vey of the district's hazards be made by Mrs. Alice Westover, bus superintendent, and Oscar Pultz, business manager, per haps accompanied by Maurice Hayes, police chief. Perhaps, said Dr. Cowan, such a survey would then lead to an inspection by someone from the state who would be able to order signs such as \dangerous curve\ or \school bus stop ahead.\ WWW .<t>v. DR. RUSSELL PLUMPTON will be school psychologist for the Katonah-Lewisboro School District. He received his B.A. from the University of New Hampshire and Ed. D. from Teachers College, Columbia. From 1951-59 Dr. Plumpton was Sussex County school psy chologist for the State of Dela ware and state supervisor of group testing \programs from 1559 to '61. He has been school psychologist for BOCES in West- Chester for the past two years, working three days each week in the Katonah - Lewisboro schools and part - time for the special classes for re tarded children at the BOCES Guidance Center. During the two summers he has worked in the summer reading clinic. Dr. Plumpton married Cyn thia Covey of New Hamshire. Their two daughters will at tend the Increase Miller Ele mentary School.

Mogtr Ave. MO 4-801 • OFF AND RUNNING by John LDay 1 Taking No Chances West Germany and the United States may have their differences in certain areas, but oft one thing they are definitely agreed. Bilking a bookmaker, while perhaps dis honest, is not a crime. In the case of a couple of Hamburg businessmen who obtained re sults of French races from a friend by phone and were thus able to bet with their \favor ite\ bookmaker before he got his results, the West Germany Supreme Court reversed a low er court conviction of fraud and ruled that horseplayers have no obligation to inform the bookie of race results. In the United States last year, according to a case history in the files of the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau, a Federal District judge in Mil waukee ruled that betting on a sure thing did not violate the anti-gambling laws. In the case of three enterprising Mil- waukeans who used a two-way radio to \past post\ their bookmaker on races already declared official the judge ruled, \The defendants were certain to win and the book makers were certain to lose. Therefore, however nefarious, the scheme did not involve the ejement of chance.\ He forth with dismissed Federal grand jury g a m b 1 i n g indictments against the trio.
