A new chair will transform the life of multiple sclerosis sufferer and war veteran Jim Smith, The electrically propelled chair, which will enable sixty three year old Mr Smith of Marshlands, Dymchurch, to get out and about, was presented to him last week by Mrs Mary Proctor, national director of welfare for the Soldiers, Sailors and Air- men's Families Association (SSAFA). His need was brought to the attention of Wing Com- mander Eric Tooth, of Lyminge t district organiser for SSAFA, by Mrs Sloper of the WRVS in Dymchurch. Mr Smith t who does a lot of work for the British Legion, had a chair to get round the house but not outside, and his wife is out at work during the day. Wing Commander Tooth—pictured with Mr Smith and guests at the presentation—set about raising the funds. He received £100 from Multiple Sclerosis; £150 from the Royal Army Ordnance Corps Aid Society; £75 from the Royal Artil- lery Charitable Fund and £75 from the RAF Benevolent Fund in respect of his wife's service with the WRAF. Mr Smith saw service in North Africa and is a veteran of Tobruk. Incidentally, Wing Commander Tooth who does such good work for SSAFA in the district is eighty four years old—or should it be young. 169 — |
