There are SO many good people
who have made the Sunshine work
pleasure that can't name them all.
1t would take whole page Of the
dear old Courier to print the names.
| will try rather to tell some Of the
results.
We have made and passed eleven
quilts; have made the money and
bought two wheel chairs that have
given great deal of pleasure The
chairs belong to the Oconee Sunshine
work. AS soon as an invalid gets
better and no longer needs it, it Is
given back, or, as sometimes hap
pens, as with Mr.. Fitzgerald, they
get SO they can't use the chair, then
1t Is given up. The Fitzgerald chair
is idle now. If any worthy person
needs it and will get his or her pas
tor and family doctor to write and
say they are worthy, | will give to
the one who needs it most
On orphans day about forty of the
good Sunshlners met with Mrs.
Shanklin, bringing thread, needles,
pins, thimbles, scraps and little
change to help pay for the Innings
Some gave cotton, some squares. All
worked with good will and soon four
quilts were finished. Mrs. Fennell
STAYED and helped hem them, Mrs.
Milton Sanders came back and help
ed get the fifth one done. 1t is gen
| orally known what picnic dinner
means. Everybody expressed a wish
to be at the next quilting.
To the Connie Maxwell we sent
quilt. Mr.. Jamison sent a note Of
thanks. asking ME to tell the Sun
sinners how much he appreciated the
kindness.
TO the Blind Babies Home in New
York, a work very close to our Pres
ident Generals heart, (Mrs. Alden
it's the first home for blind babies) ;,
we sent quilt, a cradle quilt, some
little things for the babies Mrs. AL
den was very grateful and begged me
to thank every one who helped with
the work.
TO Thornwell Orphanage we sent
a quilt, two bolts OF cloth given by
Mrs. f. f. Hughs, who is on the roll
Of four score. Still she is scattering
Sunshine. The poor or the orphan
never has been refused help by her
Mr.. Jacobs says, "In the rush Of
business it gives me pleasure to stop
and write a note of thanksgiving for
the quilt and two bolts Of cloth 1t
certainly comes in at time Of heavy
pressure And he thanks the good
people who stopped for one day and
thought Of the orphans, nearly three
hundred.
TO the Epworth Orphanage we
sent two quilts. Three sisters who
could not come to the quilting quilt
two. Mrs. Fennell gave a pair of pill
low slip for the Epworth. Mr.. Whar-
ton was very grateful and asked me
to convey his thanks to the good peo-
pie who helped.
Master Clyde Mcdonald gave Csc.
in money to send the orphanage-his
work for one day. Wish l had a
hundred such little Sunshiners.
While the quilters were at work on
the quilts the grandmothers and
rcat-grandmothers got together and
made a lap robe for one Of our wheel
chairs. While all thought their
grandchildren wonderful, and smart,
and pretty, one grandmother says,
81 don't care what you say; l have
three more grandchildren to-day than
| did week ago-two twin girls.
