Maybe you've been having a yer
for some time to do something
constructive in a Civic sort of way
but didn't know exactly what you
could do. Well I heard a plea thu
other day for members for the
Monroe General Hospital Ladie.
Auxiliary that just about ought Il
fill the bill.
You don't have to have a great
talent, or even a little one to b.
useful in the Auxiliary. These gal.
are the unsung heroes who do al
the bidding little jobs around the
Hospital that the poor overworkeC
nurses just don't have the time OF
the strength to take care of. Please
don't get me wrong. our nurse:
aren't abused, but somehow OF
other, there just never are enough
of them to go around, and these
gals feel dedicated like all thu
sisters of their profession, so JUS
work til they're about ready Il
drop anyhow.
That's where the Auxiliary comes
in. They pick up torn sheet here
a buttonless gown there, and al
their duty hours, the needles fly
and presto! The linens are back
in service. again!
Maybe you think it doesn't
sound like fun, maybe you would
rather join a rockin' and bridge
Iplayin' society. Well if you would
that's entirely up to you, but real
-yl now, If you join the Auxiliary
you're going to meet a real nice
bunch of gals, and the hard work
is taken out of this labor of love
when you can all sit down together
and chew the fat a little as you dc
your good deeds for the Hospital

Viewers with alarm are really
having a field day in viewing with
alarm and will be the very
first to agree that it is with good
cause. seem to remember that
it wasn't in the too dim past that
Key West was the center of a bad
Polio epidemic, and our folks all
remember too. You can tell they
do by the size of the contributions
to the March of Dimes in this one
small town.
Now the Navy headed by Ad.
miral Towner has taken the lead
in doing something positive to.
wards stenming an out and GU,
epidemic. He is seeing to it tina,
cleanliness does it's part. Begin.

disinfected. A sight heretofore new.
er before in these environs was
evident yesterday when all the Lit.
tie Sigsbee-ites could be seen bus,
lily scrubbing out their garbage
buckets. Housewives were subject
ed TO the dignities of having their
housekeeping Scrutini2ed by alier
and speculative eyes. But it was In
a good cause.
We also have a shop hoppins
suggestion. If all the Navy folks
are cooperating to make their
camp grounds as free of any breed
ing spot of Polio germs as human
industry can contrive, Key West
erS can do no less. You won't have
any inspectors breathing dowr
your necks, but you will have the
grim spector Of Gripping deseass
