q OUR
"a @[fK6GWN
HON e OWN ED

Frequently, we hear express
sions by various individuals
that we should all patronize
our local or home owned
business houses. This does
not mean London especially
but Madison County in gener-
al. We try to do this when
ever we can and many 9TH
ers do the same. The theory
is that we earn our living
here and arc patronized by
our friends and neighbors
and therefore it is not only
wise but just to patronize
those who patroniZe you.
Honesty, courtesy and good
will make up the backbone of
business but an underlying
factor is that those who work
and live in Madison County
spend their money here. Each
of us in business handles
some of this money and it is
only fair that we should spend
with those who spend with
us.

GOLF
Worst thing that ever hap
pened to a friend of ours
(who is a dyed-in-the-wool
golf bug) happened one day
at the hands of a diminuitivc
caddy. Fellow asked the cad
dy what the caddy thought of

"Oh your games alright but

Suburban Hospital

A Keller generator has been in
stalled at Suburban Hospital to
provide electricity when the central
current fails.
Costing approximately $1,000,
the generator was paid for from

ating, delivery and first aid rooms,
the nursery and the Railways. 1t
also has special plug-ins for the
iron lung and the rescuscitator.
Completely automatic, the gen
orator starts instantly when the
central power fails and continues

Formerly the hospital had to
rely on a series of 60 exide bat
teries for emergency lighting serv-
ice.
