UndergOes Operation

Last Sunday morning Mt Carbon
County Memorial Hospital. DR.. Bar
Der operated upon Mrs. Geere OF
Walden. Colorado. for Appendicitis.
Tho patient is getting along nicely.
Saturday afternoon DR.. Barber re-
ceived n TELEPHONE message from Wal
den inlulring as to tho kind of n
hospital Rawlins had and asking
whether 1t was equipped so that an
emergency operation could be per-
formed. Upon being assured that the
hospital here could compare with
any In the state DR.. Barber was asked
to be In readiness to perform the OPP
GRAFTON Just ms oon as the patient
could be brought here. Walden was
left Saturday evening and tho next
morning Mrs. Cicero arrived in Raw
Inns.
II Is In cases such as this that the
Memorial Hospital proves It's true
worth ms It would have been very
dangerous TO Mrs. Cicero to have tax

trip from Walden here was very
strenuous and had Il been necessary
TO no on to Denver the results to tho
patient might have been fatal.

RUNNING ENGINE
CAUSES FIRE WHEN
TANK OVERFLOWS

When ar employee OF tho state
highway department left his engine
running as the gasoline tank was
being filled. he gave opportunity for
a fire which could easily have de-
stroyed the entire truck. parked at
the West End Aero Filling station
Tuesday noon.
The gasoline tank overlooked and
n spark. presumably from the ex-
haust OF the motor. ignited the
fumes. A lively time Of II ensued.
Flames were licking up from tho
mouth Of the tank itself when the
IRE fighting equipment arrived and
fire foam was used. This put out
tho flames In short order. resulting
In but slight damage being done.
Cushions OF the truck were scorched.
Tho moral Of this incident seems "a
be that motors should be shut on
when gus tanks are being filled.

but 1t was understood that the sum
would be adequate for the erection
of a building which would not on}y
provide for the serious overflow at
present, but consider to a feasible
extent the growth OF Rawlins.
lnformality was the keynote of the
meeting. and absolute freedom of
thought and expression makes those
BACK or the move confident that the
VIII of the taXpaying public of Raw
Inns was suitably arrived It by rea-
son of this expression of confidence.
This was the entire of the
meeting: to learn the will of the
Rawlins public in the matter of neces-
sary expenditures OF money for more
nearly adequate school facilities. The
board. according to Mr.. Rendle, did
not feel inclined to advertise and
present to the electorate 1t the next
school election, to be held early in
June, so important a bond issue with
out having heard from the people
themselves.
The people, as represented by more
than half n hundred of Rawlin,'
most interested citizens, have de-
clared their choice. And the feeling
at the mass meeting was that, while
there should not be any real issue
in the building sf proper schools for
Rawlins youth, with this expression,
firmly put, back of them the board
will most certainly sponsor a propo-
Sition which the people themselves
VIII back to the limit. Rawlins,
bent upon self improvement in those
avenues where such Improvement is
most desirable, will o stop, it
seems, until she has risen to a city OF
first rank, and one in which people
may live and rear their children in
perfect assurance OF the fullest of
LIES opportunities.
