The Damascus Women's Aux
iliary to the Montgomery County
General Hospital has undertaken
a brand-new and very worth
while project which we thought
you would be interested in know
ing about.
Last Thursday the Damascus
Auxiliary opened a gift shelf at
the hospital which offers for the
convenience of patients an d
nurses such articles as cosmetics.
candy, magazines, etc. The shelf
is open each Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday during the two to
four afternoon visiting hours.
The entire opening stock for
the shelf was donated by the Da-
mascus Pharmacy through the
courtesy of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Papiermeister. Mrs. Frank Blood
is chairman of the gift shelf prof.
ect and Mrs. E. c. Magdegurger
is chairman of volunteers to man
the shelf.
incidentally, the shelf is kept
open entirely by volunteers from
the Damascus Auxiliary and the
group would be interested in
hearing from other residents of
the Damascus-Woodfield area
who would like to join the aux
iliary and work in its activities.
Campfires and kabobS will be
the topic for discussion at the
April II meeting of the Damas-
Gus Homemakers to be held at
8 pm. at the home of Mrs. Dean
Kesler with Mrs. Raymond Kemp
and Mrs. Mary Virginia Dietz as

Mrs. Noah Ifert will lead the
discussion which will feature
equipment and planning for out
door meals and barbecueing. Mrs.
Oakley Mcdaniel, home furnish
ings chairman, will present dis
play on making lampshades. A
committee from the club has Sc
lected Mrs. Herbert Hyatt, ST.,
