'48 Outlook FOs Farm
Family Living Good
continued from nrst pags1

Even with good incomes, Miss
WhitcOmb urges farm families to
plan carefully in order to obtain
the things they want and to pro-
vide for maximum security.
Faced with a continuation of
high prices, families should make
full use of home resources. A
year-rOund garden will help keep
down food costs. Home sewing
and better care Of garments will
help meet the clothing situation.
Lumber from the farm and fam
lily labor can save in repairs to the
farm buildings and the farm home.
Careful planning and manage
ment will allow more cash for pay
ing on debts, increasing life in
surance, entering into health plans
or a systematic saving program.

is the title of a sympathetic piece
of poetry. This hospital is in that
position daily During December
we have exceeded any month in
our history in every branch Of
medical and surgical cases and we
have been short of nurses and
nurses aides throughout the whole
month At this present moment we
need nurses and nurses aides very
badly.
We wish to acknowledge and
thank the following friends for
gifts during the holiday season.
Mr. Lovett of the Diamond State
Nurseries, donated seven beautiful
spruce trees for decoration at the
hospital and at the two nurses
homes.
Mr.. Bridgham of the American
Stores Company for a large quan-
tity of fresh fruit.
L. d. Caulk Company for six of
the finest turkeys this hospital ev-
er cooked.
The girls of the sixth grade for
beautiful assortment of Christ
mas favOrs for the patients trays
and to adorn the dining table in
the nurses and personnel during
room.
The carOllers. who were so kind
as to make this hospital gay on
Christmas Eve.
The biblical admonition is very
much in order at this point. 'In
as much as ye have done it unto the
least of these, so do ye also unto
Me-"
Those who take time from their
enjoyment and pleasure during the
yuletide to think of the ones who
are bedridden in the hospitals
surely are laying up treasures in
heaven.
So let us all remember the hos
pital in our community. You do not
know when you will need it's SER
vices personally.
Any nurses or nurses aides in
this area who can give us some
help at this time will please phone
or call on Miss Ann Hugg as soon
as possible.
