Our four men and two women
patients all had something pleas
ant to tell US. Mr.. Andrew Horton
who has had several poor weeks
this summer was able to be out on
the lawn again. He is looking
more rested, and told US he is feel
ing better. He was very pleased
to get a Service Magazine" which
deals with the doings of the rail-
road men.
Mrs. Leal Peal has made some
improvement. She was made very
happy by visits from several of her
friends. They had supplied her
with fresh fruit. We assisted with
her out of town correspondence.
Mrs. Mary Sheppard was glad to
tell US of the birth of a great
grandson. The little fellow ar
rived about two weeks ago. He is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Ben
ford, 725 Emerson Avenue North.
We wrote two letters for Mrs.
Sheppard. Mr.. John McMoore and
Thomas Monroe were in their room
dreaming of some black-eyed peas
and corn bread. One can't be on
the seriously ill list and think of
food like that. We sent a letter to
one of the members of Mr.. Mon
roe's church in st. Paul telling her
of this yearning for some of "our"
cooking.
Parkview hospital allows more
privileges where the patients are
concerned. Most of the patients are
inmates for months and sometimes
years. The longer they are con-
fined, the more they appreciate be-
ing remembered.
We asked a group of women
members of Mr.. Monroe's church
who visited the Spokesman and
Recorder Office, last week, to write
a letter to him. We took the letter
to him and know it will be one of
his treasures.
Mr.. William Williams is improv-
ing. He was seriously ill in Gen
eral Hospital few weeks ago.
General Hospital, we think we
heard, was considering putting on
special nurses to direct the traffic
(mostly femalel to Mr.. R. B.
Moulden's bedside-and that was
before he was shaved
We were told by the inferno in
charge of one of our patients that
a blood TRANSMISSION may be neces-
sary. 1t is self satisfying feel
ing as well as an act of a Good
Samaritan to give of your life
stream to help another human. A
pint of blood can be given by a
normal, healthy person with no i'll
effect. There must be a record of
your type blood before being &C
cepted as a donor. Inquire at the
desk in the main office for the
laboratory on the fourth floor to
have your blood tested for donor.
Mrs. Matte Charleston was adj
mitted to General last week. Her
bert Rice, the young man of six
teen we mentioned so often last
spring, has been readmitted. He is
as accomplishing as ever.
We had u talk with Annette
Lawson's mother. After talking
with the proper authorities con-
corning some of Mrs. Lawson's
worries we feel everything will be
more satisfactory. We saw Mrs.
Spencer Chivers of the Eastern
Star Order visiting.
There is still time for your club
to line up with the program chair
men at Veterans, Parkview, Glen
Lake and the Mems Bureau.
We had the long looked-for talk
with Mr.. Samuel A. Harris, visitor
from the Department of Relief. We
will tell you about his plans next
week.
Don't forget to visit the Sick and
Ailing.
Don't forget magazines and pa
pers of Negro publication for the
libraries in institutions.
Don't forget toys, games, books,
ETC., for bedridden patients at
