"Look—I can stand by myself!" Max Goldberg, victim of a stroke, beamed as he struggled to his feet to display the tremoiwioous stride toward rehabilifation. After many long months, he could indeed, "stand alone." Miss Johanna Kaufmann, a long time paralytic, could not offer the same dramatic proof of the value of the new Samuel and Dora Riekes Physical Therapy Unit at the Dr. Philip Sher Home. From her bed she smiled and said: "I've had exercises on my arms and legs, whirlpool baths and massages. It feels so good. I can't walk yet—but I will! This spring I'm going to walk to the car and take a ride." ' The new hope in the voice of Miss Kaiifmann is equal in importance to the physical improvement of Mr. Goldberg. In the short time the Therapy Unit has been in operation, both were looking forward to a new and better way of life. Riekes Family Gift Donated by the Riekes children in memory of Samuel and Dora Riekes, the Physical Therapy Unit houses a vast array of modern equipment designed to help residents function as independently as possible. Facilities include whirlpool baths, infrared and ultra violet lamps, ultrasonic equipment for deep heat therapy, massage tables, walk- p p - ' j ? ers and exercise apparatus."
