there are no funds for this type
of need the case was discuss with
B. R. Snow, Agent for Bibb
Manufacturing Company. He felt
that Bibb would take care of this
operation, but it was felt that
this was something that all the
people in Newton County would
like to have a part in.
Dr. W. Kirk Swann Jr., son of
Dr. and Mrs. W. K. Swann Sr., of
Covington, is a surgeon in this
type of work and volunteered his
services to help this child. Mr.
Snow guaranteed one-half of the
other expenses which consist of
hospitalization for Ronnie, tran
sportation to and from Knoxville
(Cnnuujhnt News
for Bonnie and her mother, nurs
mg care, board for the mother
and other incidentals which go
with an operation. This was to be
given by Ribb and its employees.
The Covington Elks Club heard
about this project and made a
very generous donation. The
Rotary Club, the Eastern Star,
and other friends were also very
generous.
On October 12. little Bonnie
was carried to Knoxville for the
operation. However, the operation
was not performed until Novem
ber 6. This surgery was a suc
cess, and little Ronne returned
to Porterdale Monday of this
week a happy and almost a well
child as she is no longer a blue
baby. Ronnie cannot walk at the
present time, but she was fitted
with braces and will soon learn
to walk with these. This handicap
was in no way connectd with the
fact that she was a blue baby, and
surgery could not correct this de
fotmity. She will soon become
adjusted to the braces and these
will help her to walk.
Mr. and Mrs. Willard wish to
express their appreciation to Dr
Swann, the Ribb Manufacturing
Company and employees, the
Riks Club, Eastern Star, and
friends who have made it possible
for their child to live a normal
life like other children.
