others happy.
Among those who helped with
making the puppets, is Mrs. j. B
(Janice Bridgman) Bell of Santa
Barbara, formerly of London, q
member of the auxiliary who heads
the information desk" at the hos
pital for the group.
Now "A. j." is back home" in
London joining her mother, Mrs,
H. V. Christopher, visiting at the
home of her sister, Mrs. F. E. Sid
ener, Jr., East High Street. Too,
she is spending some time in South
Charleston with DR.. Wentz's moth
er, Mrs. w. L. Wentz.
Before she came to London she
had been in Atlantic City where,
last Wednesday at the session for
the Parade of Projects" she des-
cribed "Pinkie' for the thousands
at the Association conference. She
had been invited to make the talk
before "Pinkie" was chosen to re-
ceive the 1855 award. THE request
to appear on the program was a
great thrill, but after our 'Pinkie'
took the prize, my pride was
boundless, and the experience was
more than ever exciting-I don't

"Pinkie" is definitely a hospital
Item" but the auxiliary is making
a number of little creatures known
as ''Pinkie's Pals" that are sold in
the gift shop for the support OF
their work, Mrs. Wentz stated.
When she returns to her home
on the coast, "A. j. will take with
her the requests from representa-
tives at the conference from 200
hospitals from this country, Mexi-
co, Canada and Hawaii for the little
puppet whose smiling face has les
sened the strain for many child
scared at even the thought of en-
tering a hospital.
Il never dreamed that our little
'Pinkie' would create such fur
ore. We make 900 or 700 a month
in our auxiliary. We have sold the
pattern for the doll and now there
are approximately 5000 per month

DeIphian Dinner
At Club House

The London Delphian Society
met Monday evening at Coover
Memorial Club house for a dinner
meeting, the new officers. Mrs.
Byers L. Adair, president; Mrs.
Rolla d Webster, vice president; /;
Mrs. James Cluxton, secretary
treasurer, serving as hostesses.
The rooms of the club house
had been attractively decorated,
fall flowers prevailing, the table
for the delicious turkey dinner,
having especially artistic arrange
ment.
At the brief business session,
when sixteen members answered
roll call, Mrs. Adair extended ap-
propriate greetings for this first
meeting and welcomed Mrs. E. E.
Therkildson, a former member,
who has returned to London to
make her home, and has been re-
instated in Delphian.
Next came the presidents intro
duction of Miss Margaret Long,
program chairman, who capably
and in very clever manner, re-
viewed the book, How to Live
365 Days a Year." by John A,
SCHNEIDER, M D., chairman of the
Department of Medicine in the
Monroe Clinic, Monroe, Wisconsin
The book is unique, containing
not only facts, but also shows the
authors keen sense of humor. Miss
Long stated. He quotes, Your
emotions produce most of your
physical disease; probably nc
greater confusion exists in this
confused world than the one in
the minds of non-medical people
concerning the type of illness des-
cribed as nerves.
The book goes on to say one OF
the outstanding things about E. l.
I. (Emotional-induced illness) is
that emotional stress causes 509c
of illness; emotion is tangible, try
ing to find maturity with child
ways; that the more intelligent you
are, the more you are prone to
Ell; that there are superficial
and fundamental emotions; the
superficial ones, those on the sur
face from minute to minute; the

"Pinkie, the Puppet Pal" brain
child of Mrs. Arthur f. WentZ of
Santa Barbara, California, the for
mer Alice Jane Christopher of
London, has created a great stir
since she made her debut last year
at the seventh annual convention
of the American Hospital Associa-
.tion in Chicago.
The pattern for the pixyish lit
tie doll was perfected in time to
make its appearance at the Chi
cago session, and since then de-
mands for her have poured in to
Santa Barbara from all parts OF
the country.
Mrs. Wentz is serving her second
year as president of the Auxiliary
of the Cottage Hospital in Santa
Barbara and thought up the idea of
the puppet to help hospitalized
small fry" through anxious times
while ill. When they are we'll
enough to leave the hospital, Pin
kie" goes along home with the in
valid, a gift for keeps"
Normally. "Pinkie" is a dainty
little dolls head, dressed in pink
smock, who mods and bobs her
smiling head at the will of her
young mistress, or master, as the
case may be, who wears her on her
hand, as means of entertainment.
This year the little sprite was
magnified many times, to the size
of approximately six feet, was sent
east as an entry in the Parade of
Projects" which is part of the an
nual American Hospital Association
conference, just closed in Atlantic
City.
Each year the Association gives
a citation to the Auxiliary whose
project is judged the best. For
1885 "Pinkie" was the sole winner,
and Mrs. Wentz was sent to Allan
tic City by the Cottage Hospital
Auxiliary as its representative to
receive the accolade.
There are 208 volunteer workers
enrolled in the hospitals auxiliary,
who, garbed in cherry red uni
forms, go about the hospital on
their errands of mercy doing a
thousand and one volunteer chores
to aid patients and to tighten the
tasks of the trained hospital staff.
Because of their pink smocks, they
have come to be known as "Pink
Ladies" or Pink Angels" Now

like the volunteer workers who

First In A Series)
By DAVID w. ANGEVINE
For Coop News Service

CHICAGO-Flowing north to join
the Columbia, the Snake River has
carved out mighty gorge more than
a mile deep and nearly 100 miles
long. This great gorge dwarfs even
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
in Arizona. It's called Hells Canyon
Forming the boundary between
Oregon and Idaho, Hells, Canyon is
one of the most remote areas of the
United States. Probably only a few
thousand people have ever seen it
from the ground. Yet around it re-
wolves one of the bitterest public
controversies of this decade.
BY daming the river in this rugged
canyon, tremendous quantities of
electric power can be generated for
our generation and those to come.
Two plans have been suggested to
develop Hells Canyon. They are MI
tually exclusive. 1t must be one or
the other.

Faced With Probe, Interior
Agrees To Claim of
Georgia Co-ops

ATLANTA-Just as q House sub
committee was set to find out why
Interior Department and Georgia
electric co-ops can't agree on use OF
power from Clark Hill dam, the
struggle was resolved on the co-ops
terms.
The subcommittee headed by Earl
Chudoff (D-Pa.), opened hearings
here, September 2, in the matter.
Four days previously, Interior
agreed to sell Georgia's share of its
Clark Hill power directly to the CO.
ops. 1t will pay Georgia Power Com
pany to wheel the power and in
clude this cost in the rates it charges
the co-ops.
Previously, Interiors Southeastern
Power Administration insisted on
selling Clark Hill power to the Geor-
gia utility. The co-ops would have
had call on this block of power, but
they'd be customers of the private
firm.
The dam lies on the Savannah River
between Georgia and South Carolina.
1t has capacity of 100000 lilowatts
of prime power.
Interiors decision acknowledges
that its responsibility for giving nom
profit groups first claim on public
power includes working out wheeling
contracts to bring the energy directly
to co-ops, cities, and public agencies.
The decision may serve as a precedent
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-09-09

$4,000 kilowatts of power.
Under the law, co-ops and city utiii-
ties have first claim on Interiors
power.
Said Davidson, "We're determined
not to buy our power from a private
utility. We worked free from one five
years ago after bitter fight. Their
rates are three to four times what
SPA charges"
That evening, reading his news
paper, Earl Chudoff (D-Pa.), chair
man of the House group, learned that
Elmer S. Bennett, legislative counsel
to Interior Secretary Douglas Nc
Kay, had attended the hearing.
Next day, Chudoff reprimanded
Bennett for not having disclosed his
identity officially to the committee.
Lamely, Bennett explained that the
decision to have him attend had been
made at the last minute.
Then Bennett revealed that-un-
known to Davidson or other Skiatook
officials had granted the
city more power on August 20.
"You mean the Secretary is going
to keep one step ahead of us?" Chu-
doff inquired sarcastically.
Crudoff's group could also claim
another victory down in Georgia. For
two years, Interior Department has
formed solid front with Georgia
Power Company to keep co-ops from
buying power directly from Clark Hill
Dam. Any time in those two years,
could have settled the SQUAD
Die by signing wheeling contracts
With Georgia Power. Four days before
Jhudoff's committee was due in At
anita, Interior did exactly that.
