Hospital Tea Sunday
Was Delightful Affair

The attendance at the Hospital
Day tea held at the school audito-
rum last Sundy was very crafty
ing, more than 100 persons regis
tering in the guest book. About
20 more were known to have been
present bringing the total number
up to better than at any other tea
of previous years A fine program
oil vocal and instrumental must
and the attractions OF the museum
made a delightful afternoon. The
auditorium was completely trans
formed by easy chairs, tables, lamps
and flowers. Mrs. H. r. Coulter,
who had charge of the serving was
assisted by Miss Margaret Fergu-
son, Miss Carol Ferguson and Miss
Glenora Waters.
The receipts from the silver Of
fering, which included three five
dollar donations, amounted to $751;
20. This sum was augmented the
following day by individual contri-
buttons amounting. to $3.50 and
gift of ten dollars from the Eastern
Star making a total of $72. A re-
frigerator will be installed in the
hospital at an early date as re-
suit, and the hospital staff, auxil-
larry, and board are deeply grateful
to the public for the patronage at
the tea and the gifts to this fund.
While a considerable amount short
of the sum needed for the purchase
of the refrigerator, the balance will
be raised as convenient.
Small Creamers Needed
The hospital is in great need of
some small cream pitchers and SUI
gar bowls also, the pitchers, especi-
ally, for the individual trays. The
ordinary sizes are too large and the
small seemingly difficult to get. II
you have one or more to give away,
kindly notify Mrs. Johnson, secre-
tary of the hospital board.

about. The Gulf Oil Company kept
wantin' me to litter up the micro

jealous of me in their industry.
But l did want to make a contribu-

done such fine work durin our
earthquake, and didn't have the
dough to do it with, so Mrs. Rogers
fingered it out, as she does most OF
the other things.
She says, You got the wind to
do it so she fingered out how |
could do it with just talk, which
L would be doin' for nothin' any
how, to anybody l could hem up

through they will mail your check.
Don't thank me, thank the Gulf
