AS we 60 to press our friend
Alma Ward. lies critically injured
in Receiving hospital. Her car was
struck by a truck Saturday night
as she was returning from the
'Petticoats" club meeting.
Only three days before the acci-
dent Alma called and was thrilled
that she had an opportunity I'd
go TO Camp Lee, Va. in about three
weeks TO visit Willis who is sta
toned there. Willis had been
home just two weeks before and
we had spent an evening of fun
with them.
BY A STRANGE coincidence we
missed the club meeting Saturday
night. Prior to that, we rode with
Alma to and from the meetings.
Maggie Bugs and Mrs. John r.
Williams were with Alma, Satur-
day night. Maggie fortunately es-
capped unhurt and Doris suffered
only minor injuries.
Along with Alma's host OF
friends. we, too. are praying for a
complete recovery.
