By the Office Boy
We’re so happy we just want
to sing...We who? The Hospital
Auxiliary, of course! Why? Well
(we are writing this on Tuesday)
at two o’clock today everybody
donned their uniforms and skip
ped (singing within their hearts)
over to Newton County Hospi=-
tal...and we want the whole world
to KNOW...WE have that Crash
Cart! The Hospital is becom=
ing so well equipped that we
will have no worry along the
line of not having what we need,
in times of emergencies.
Friends, we want YOU to know
that YOU helped, IF you bought
tickets to the parties at the
Elks Club...if you bought ‘¢‘Hot=
Dogs’’ on the square...if you
bought those delicious cakes
etc...that our Auxiliary Members
stood on the square and sold to
raise money for our Hospital
Crash Cart, ¢Crash Cart?”
you say? Well, honestly that’s
its name but we would call it
the physician or surgeon’s right
hand... The expensive instru=-
ments on the cart will enable
him to save lives, that other=-
wise might be lost before he could
get them to Atlanta, for the same
help that we can now give with
the aid of this ¢‘Crash Cart”
and the fine instruments it car=-
ries.
Minutes, and even seconds
count in saving lives...so look
what YOU, and YOU and YOU
have done to save lives! It’s
not paid for YET...but that Hos=
pital Auxiliary will be working,
as will the nurses to raise the
rest of the money. If you love
and appreciate our hospital, and
what it is striving to do...and
you did not get to one of these
“On the Square’’ sales...and are
just aching to have a little part
in this great work of saving a
life...you can send your check
direct to the Hospital Auxiliary,
in care of Mrs. Peggy Moss,
Newton County Hospital, who will
deliver it to the right place.
Those nurses at the hospital,
God Bless them, have gone all
out to help us raise this money,
for they, more than we, SEE
daily, the need of this Cart.
It stands ever readyinthe Emer=
gency Room...at the Physician’s
fingertips when a patient is rush
ed in with a heart attack, or
one having been in a wreck or
any accident which requires ‘‘on
the spot” help to survive.

He pointed out how watershed
development influences the econ=
omic development of an area,
It has been estimated, for ex

new industries or businesses
have been attracted to Georgia
because of watershed work, In
addition, about 30 established in
