Now! our hearts bleed for three
young widows, each with two dar

enough, and willing to do the will
of the nation. I wonder if God
expected us to be unhappy on
earth, to the extent that we would
have to learn to fly. .and walk in

Patients suffering with Cancer,
need pads and bandages. They
are not only easy to make, but
God gives us this opportunity to
serve, so it is a sacred work.
God brought this “Open Door”
to us this morning. Guess who
brought the message! None ot
her than the “Sweetheart of New
ton County” . .. Mae Hardman!
Right across from her office,
these ladles work, every 4th
Tuesday, which is “Cancer Linen
Closet Day”, at Porterdale. They
work from 9 A. M. until 12. Those
who choose afternoons to work:
hours 3 o’clock until about six..
when they gather around a table
with drinks and sandwiches they
brought and have a little social
hour. Back to work until 8 P.M.
Os course if you cannot get In
that much time you can check
out at 6 o’clock.
If the ladles of Covington, or
Porterdale, wish to join In this
opportunity God has made poss
ible for us, call Mae Hardman
at her office, during the day time.
Her number is 786-8801.
Many of us need to get out and
do some kind of work we like to
do. . .and God offers you this
opportunity to serve your fellow
man. The best "tonic” we ever
had was when they “needed me”
at Newton County Hospital to work
with the Hospital Auxiliary! So
many of us “need to be needed
somewhere.” God opens the
doors to such an opportunity
as the "Cancer Linen Closet”
project. What do they do with
the articles they make, like band
ages, you ask? Why there are
thousands of Cancer patients
needing them. . .every day! So
this is your opportunity ladies,
do you accept the challenge?

mostly as a master alloy for the
casting of tough bronze compon
ents in many military applicat

trade name of Pheidur, is still
being marketed by Phelps Dodge-
