Dedicate
Methodist
Memorial

Dedicatory services for the Gar
rie M. and Charles o. Young Mem
orial Building, hospital which
was the gift of the late Miss Car
RE M. Young, were held on Octo-
Der % at the Asbury Methodist
Home, Gaithersburg.
Miss Young, who was a member
CT Mount Vernon Place Methodist
church, Washington, left in her
will sufficient funds to build the
hospital and to maintain it through
the years. The 30-room hospital is
equipped with the latest hospital
furnishings. 1t is the only hospital
connected with homes for the aged
in the United States that has pri-
vate rooms for all patients.
Presiding during dedicatory SER
vice was DR.. Herman M. Wilson,
who has been superintendent of
the home for 81 of the % years
of its existence. The 28th year will
be celebrated April IT, 1854.
Dedicatorv Address
DR.. Albert P. Shirley, pastor of
Mount Vernon Place Methodist
church, gave the dedicatory ad-
dress. In speaking of Miss Young,
he said, "She gave expression to
her secret thoughts by giving this
hospital. Miss Carrie Young is
here in very real way through
the conservation of her gift, a
ministry of healing. Where we can
not go personally, we can serve
through our gifts to Others"
Using the "Good Samaritan"
story as an example, DIR. Shirley
pointed out three attitudes prevail
ent today. The attitude of the first
man who passed ON the other side
of the road represents today the
group of people who would like to
help but do not; the second man,
those who are Indifferent to the
ministry of others; and the third
man, those who see and help.
Praise Superintendent
"That that is given out of the
very best we have is the priceless
gift" continued DR.. Shirley. "It's
a wonderful opportunity of a heal
ing ministry"
DIR. Shirley concluded, "A most
unusual ministry is found in the
persons of DR.. and Mrs Wilson
who are largely responsible for
the growth and progress of the
home and who minister daily to
those who live at Asbury Metho-
dist Home"

man of the building committee,

comparison figures, they've come up
with a general rule that can be used
with considerable accuracy.
During the first week of the grow
ing period, the chick will eat two
tenths of a pound of feed, they say.
And with each succeeding week, the
amount will increase by one-tenth of
a pound. On this basis, at the end of
a month the chick will have eaten
one and four tenths pounds of feed.

Good Shelter Important
In addition to adequate feed, good
shelter is necessary to insure the
pullet's proper growth and develop
ment. 1t should be cool in summer,
comfortable in winter clean, dry
and weathertight. A material ideally
suited for providing this kind of
shelter is insulation board. It's easy
to handle - comes in convenient
sizes for mailing to existing studs or
to the undersides of rafters and
you build and insulate with it in one
economical operation.
Check Old Insurance Policies
Here's tip that may save YOU
money. Don't throw away old in
surance policies you may think IRE
worthless because premiums haven't
been paid for years. Maybe you paid
enough premiums to provide a cash
reserve for carrying the policy in full
effect for many years. Or maybe
there was a special clause which
made the policy paid UP when the
premium payment was stopped.
Check old policies with your insur-
ance agent before you decide they're
no good; otherwise you may be
throwing away good money.
