Abstract

WHERE SATURN KEEPS THE YEARS I You must see Helen Ward in her moment. It is that moment of blood and decision which makes her years of achievement intelligible, alas-- which makes visible the ghastly halo she wears through her continuing service. She goes on, Helen, doing what she was trained to do. We are told she is one of the most respected pediatricians in Albany.

Frank has the propane dealership for Hackett township, and two of his daughters are high school teachers. They have clung to the Methodist church, taught Sunday School, been fervid supporters of
