Yes, the Hospital, and its
Auxiliary Members not only ap
preciate the help of the nurses
in raising money for this, our
project, but we are eternally
grateful to them for this volun
teer service. The love of their
profession, in saving the lives
of our people has prompted such
service! We love yoy for it!
Don’t forget! I« our hospital
has been good to you and you
want to help...we will not turn
your dime or your check down...
we will appreciate it as much
as if it was for $1,000.00, if
it’s only a quarter or a dime...
because we know you cared. You
know, I ain’t nuthin but a mere
Office Boy, but I been thinkin’...
what kind of equipment would
our hospital have if every person
within the county determined in
his, or her, heart to send one
dime, or one dollar, to the Hos=
pital Auxiliary of Newton County
Hospital for equipment, and an
Auxiliary Room, at the Hospital.
We will get ¢‘held over the
coals by the heels’” for what
looks like begging but you know
what? Your Office Boy can give
hints of what could be, a whole
heaps better than he can say:
‘“‘won’t you please buy this to
help the hospital”’, We just
drop hints...and so many people
respond because you simply
AIN’T BEGGIN’ nor puttin’ any
one person on the spot...(Come
to think of it, it’s beggin’ my
folks will tell me as they look
awful cross...so I’d better hush
rite now...’cause I done said...
TOO MUCH...but don’t you forget
what I said!
We had a prowler at our house
last night...we mean ’jest ME.
We went out to Emory College,
at Oxford, with friends Monday
evening for dinner. Rode all
over the County and had the
most wonderful time viewing the
new homes, It was arealtreat...
Except we sorter wanted a home
out there in the quiet trees, or
‘‘whispering pines’’...and we
knew we couldn’t have one...
Returning home we got our Study
Course Book we are doing at
the Church...sat down to a long
evening of “4improving our
mind*’...when in about an hour
we heard, up stairs, somebody
just rumbling around making
noises! The chill bumps ran
up and down our spine so fast
it almost raised the hair on our
head. The policemen and fire=-
men are right here...but it was
so far...yet so near, We heard
it in different rooms... Well, we
hoped they would get what they
wanted - all of it...and leave...
but no sire I had to get my
door unlocked and SEE WHO it
Wa5...50 just as I came to the
foot of the stairs, and to the
living room...WOW! it was in
there...l opened the front d00r...
and there were all my friends,
the firemen, police and next door
neighbor talking about the new
equipment at the Fire Dept. So,
over they came to protect a
pore old Office Boy...and they
could see nor hear nothing...but
suddenly out popped a young
Thrasher...it’s mother had a
pretty nest of little birds at the
end of my walk. They were
afraid it was a Chimney Sweep...
which they informed me carried
Rabies...WELL! My hair stood
straight on ends...so they caught
it ina plastic canister...and killed
it. I never looked to see if it
was one of my pets that squalls
until I feed them on the walk
every morning. But we were
thankful that the ¢‘Culprit”’ was
caught and duly punished...WOW!
here’s that broom...and I'm al=
ready at my job of jest’
