Hardin Ministers
Head Drive for
Hospital Equipment

The Hardin Ministerial Eel
loWship has begun a project in
consideration of the need for a
sterilization unit for the Big
Horn County Community hoSpi-
tai. The urgent need for such
a unit becomes more apparent
when it's function is understood
by the public, the ministers be-
live.
The unit is for the purpose
of Sterilizing bedpanS. Hereto
fore and at present the only
way a bedpan can be cleaned
is by hand. It is practically
impossible to sterilize these pans
without steam, it is said.
The purchase of the Sterili-
cation unit will make the hos
pital a better equipped COM
munity service for all, the or
ganization said. With this unit
Installed it will be possible for
a nurse to sterilize a bedpan
within eight minutes, without
endangering her own health.
In the past pans have been
sterilized by long soaking in ly-
sol solution. This causes delay
and is a tedious job for the
nurse.
ut is our candid conviction
that we need a Well-equipped
hospital here in Hardin" fell
lowship members said. I'VE also
believe that Cleanliness is
next to Goodness Sometimes
the most dangerous infectious
material is not visible to the
eye"
At a recent meeting of the
Ministerial Fellowship it was
decided to purchase a steriiza-
ton unit. The unit will cost
1855, plus about SO freight.
The unit has been purchased
and will be delivered in 80 to
60 days. The Ministerial Fellow
ship has $193 in a fund toward
the project, SAB of which is
the remainder of offerings re-
ceived during the Holy Week
Services. Ministers whose
churches participated in the
Union Holy Week services have
agreed to use the remainer OF
the fund for this project.
The $45 which completes the
$193 now available for the
project was received at the
showing of the picture "Out of
the Night" last Friday evening,
under the auspices of the
Ministerial Fellowship.
ITO complete the purchase of
the unit we still need $172," the
ministers said. 1--WE welcome
any gifts that will assist us in
this worthy community enter
prise. Contributions may be
given to any member OF the
Fellowship, or may be left at
the Chamber of Commerce Of
flee, or at the Big Horn Coun-
ty Community hospital"
Anyone desiring further in
formation is asked to contact
the Rev. r. T. Ludden.

Legion Tells Story
Of Memorial Poppy

The idea of the poppy as a
memorial flower for the World
War dead sprang up as natur-
ally as the little wild flower it.
self grows in the fields of
France and Flanders.
The flower was the one touch
of beauty to survive amid the
hideous destruction of war. Sol
diers of all nations came to
look upon it as the living sym
boil of the sacrifices of their
dead comrades.
The first instance of peoples
being worn in honor of the war
dead occurred in New York
City, November 9, 1918, when
Miss Molina Michael, of Athens,
Georgia, distributed peoples to
men attending the 25th con-
ference of the Y. M. G. A.
In June, 1919, during the
homecoming of the 32nd Di-
vision in Milwaukee, a booth
was decorated with peoples, and
pasSerSby took the poppies and
wore them, leaving contr1bu-
lions for them on the counter,
This money was donated to the
benefit of the returned veter-
ans. This experience impressed
the American Legion post as an
excellent way to raise money
for service work among the
discharged veterans, and as a
result, the Milwaukee post No.
l sold $4,000 peoples in 1920.
In the meantime, Miss MI
chael had interested Georgia
members of the American Le-
gion in the poppy as a memor-
ial flower, and that depart
ment adopted it at it's con-
vention in August, 1920. When
the national convention was
held in Cleveland in September,
1920, the poppy was adopted as
the national memorial flower.
At the first national conven-
ton of the American Legion
Auxiliary, held in Kansas City,
Mo-, in October, 1921, one OF
the first actions was to adopt
the poppy as the Auxiliary's
memorial flower.
The nationwide sale of mem
orial peoples was begun by the
American Legion and it's Aux
iliary in 1921. From this dis
tribution comes a large portion
of the veterans welfare and
relief funds of the organization.

RippHng

Local. anglers have begun
checking over equipment and
testing the old bambo in anti
cipation of the opening day of
the fishing season which is next

We predict:
That Sam PoulloS and Mr.
and Mrs. Russell Vickers will
catch as many fish as anyone
in the county.
That there will be even more
fishermen per yard of Shoreline
than last year.
That the Crow Indians will
again attempt to keep anglers
away from certain streams.
That the local game warden
will again do a fine job of DO
Icing the fishing waters.
That the biggest fish of the
season will be caught at Willow
Greek reservoir.
That this reporter will not
again attempt a trip on foot, to
Black Canyon.
That thousands of worms will
be drowned between now and
November Is.
At least two new businesses
this week are promised for
Hardin in the near future. Con-
rad Seader has started work on
his new drive-in theatre and
Mike Kuchera has purchased a
Monograph machine on which
he will publish a daily news
paper.
Did he say newspaper? Holy
mackerel, more competition.
Mike seems to have a knack
for developing enterprise and
we wish him SucceSS-but not
too much in this newest VEN
ture.
An economist wisely says the
trend toward a welfare state
will end whenever more than
half the voters are required to
pay for benefits they them
selves do not get.
Hardin will have a birthday
next Sunday, May 81.
just 43 years ago that day
the first lots in the city were
sold by Carl Rankin, who still
resides here. Commenting on
the birthday, Mr.. Rankin re-
marked about the progress
which has been made in the
43 years from a SagebruSh flat
to the thriving, modern city
Hardin is today.
