I've heard of a number of reasons why visitors come to Chicago, but one of the most unusual was given by our Traveler of the Month, Miss Blanche A. Sherman, of Monona, Iowa. She made the trip to the Windy City to buy a pair of shoes. She told me that although it isn't so easy, for her it's more important to have well-fitting, comfortable shoes than for most of us. Miss Sherman has been a polio victim since 1910 and cannot use her left limb and right arm. Many of us would consider this a real handicap. But not Miss Sherman. Her smiles, her radiance told me without words that she has had a busy, happy life. That has been her aim since her illness which came shortly after she finished at Upper Iowa University. Hers was the second case on record in her home state and in those days there was no such thing as therapy, exercise in pools and Sister Kenny treatments.

It was only a year after she returned to work that she was advanced to the position of principal of the high school, a job which she filled for twenty years. Those twenty years were not always easy. Three times she fell, and broke the already-weak limb by stubbing her toe or slipping, and each time she had to learn to walk again; braces, crutches, and finally being able to graduate to a cane. During this period she was also caring for her parents, until they both passed away. After the last tumble, she gave up her position at the high school. To loaf, you say, for the rest of her life? Not our Traveler of the Month! About that time the women's club of Monona decided to establish a public library. At first
