The columnists' ball, the first of
its kind to be given in Washington,
has been arranged by the Newspaper
Women's Club for it's annual benefit
for the maintenance OF the clubs
bed in Children's Hospital and for
the clubs fellowship fund. The
clubs bed has given disqualification
to a sick child for $50 days during
the last year and one OF those small
patients, barely 3 years old, was
brought to Washington from Boston
that one of the skillful local surgeons
might help him through an opera
ton on his skull. The small bows
father has given all that he could
OF his $40 month income to
bring health to his child. The bov
was a patient in the Newspaper
Women's Club bed and through the
interest Of an official of one of the
leading airways the child and his
father returned to Boston by plane
without expense, the child with more
than an even chance for health
There are many other cases, some
OF them emergencies, where a life is
saved because the bed is ready for
the patient, who might lose his life
II there were delay to find means
10 pay for such care and comfort.
