was present and splendid time was
had.

this manner to thank the public in
general for it's patronage; all those
who helped with the sale of tickets,
the ladies who donated cakes, and
all others who assisted in any man
ner. The total receipts was $175.40.
The expenses were S31, leaving a
balance of $14440, of which 80 per-
cent will be sent to the Georgia
Warm Springs Foundation. and the
70 percent has been placed here in
the Citizens bank, to be expended
by a local committee which will be
named later, as they may see fit.
Mr.. Herbert Kelly was chairman
of the local presidents ball, and
Mrs. Norma Hooper was treasurer,
and they with other members of the
committee are to be commended,
and congratulated upon the success
of the occasion.

DOCTORS HUMANITARIANISM
PRAISED BY PATIENTS

The following is a clipping taken
from the Buffalo Evening News, of
Buffalo, N. Y, in regard to DR..
Deane Northrup, who is a resident
physician in Buffalo City hospital:
This country is blessed with hui
manitarian organizations such as the
Catholic missions, Red Cross, Saliva
ton Army and others whom the
writer cannot at this time recall to
mind. But we have just as humani-
tartan people here in Buffalo, and it
is of more credit to such person
when he acts as the good Samaritan
in a hospital where many a poor
soul lies in his bed begging help or
even a bit of encouragement.
And, thank God, the Buffalo City
hospital patients are blessed with
just such a person. He gives each
one equal consideration, comes with
a cheerful smile, extends the great
est sympathy to all, and gives all he
has in experience.
Only recently radio which is for
the benefit of all patients in that
ward was in need of repairs. Real
izing that this radio if repaired
would make life more pleasant and
worthwhile he carried it to an ex-
pert, had it put in Al condition and
returned it to us and set it up for
us. Really there were six pairs of
eyes in that ward filled with tears
of happiness.
God bless you, DR.. Northrup, in
your vocation, and may your re-
naming years be filled with every
success for health and happiness and
prosperity.-Patien

ALMOST "a TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
DAILY IN 1886

During 1886 traffic accidents on
state highways outside municipall-
ties averaged almost "a per day,
statistics released by Highway Di-
rector John Jaster, jr., showed.
In all, S,629 accidents or approx
imately one accident each hour were
reported for the past year Total OF
$50 persons were killed or almost
two each day, while the injured
numbered 6,998 persons or over 9
each day.
Director Jaster pointed out that
one fatality was reported for approx
imately every "a miles of the more
than 10000 miles Of the state high
way system exclusive of the 5000
miles now in process Of being added
in accordance with legislation pass
ed by the last general assembly,.
There was a personal injury for ap-
proximately every 1.2 accidents re-
ported.
However. there was some en-
couragement in this record, accord
ing to Jaster. AS compared with
1885 the year of 1886 showed 81
less accidents reported to the traffic
bureau of the state highway depart
ment decrease of 6.6 20; bl feWef
persons killed, a reduction of S.5 CO;
and $40 fewer persons injured,
drop of 6.98
1t was pointed out that absence of
a compulsory accident reporting law
made it impossible to compile sta
tistics with absolute accuracy on the
traffic accident situation in Ohio.
Without a compulsory accident re-
porting law it is inevitable that
many accidents occur, reports OF
which never find their way into Of
fetal records due to circumstances
over which the compilers of these
records have no control.
