Miss Jones Is
Feted at Civic
Club Luncheon
Praised For Her Long Years
Of Work AS Physical
Theropist

Miss Grace Jones was guest of
honor at a luncheon meeting of
the Civic club of Oakland Tuesday
afternoon at the William-James
hotel Miss Jones will retire as a
physical therapist of the county
health department effective at the
end of March.
Mrs. W. w. Grant was in charge
of the program and told the story
of Miss Jones work in a talk en-
titled Across the Years" The book
was in three chapters with each
chapter being given by different
members of the club. Mrs E. Z.
Tower gave the first chapter, Mrs.
H. F. Stockslager the second chap
ter and Mrs. r. E. Weber the final
chapter.
Mrs. Tower told of Miss Jones
beginning her work in the county
in 1927 following the polio out
break that year, and of the clinics
set up by members of the Civic
club with help from Dr. George
Bennett, Baltimore bone specialist
Miss Jones did volunteer work on
crippled children and adults for
nine years and took instruction in
physical therapiSt work
In 1896 she became employed
full time by the Board of Educa-
ton after she had completed
course in this work. In 1887 the
County Health department took
over the work and she was there
after employed by that depart
ment.
Said Mrs Tower: Miss Grace
gave her patients faith and hope
and many times food and clothing,
and helped them in many ways to
bring them back to health We are
all very proud of the 29 years of
her service as a good and faithful
servant"
Mrs. Stockslager pointed out how
Miss Graccs work always had been
done with absolute sincerity and
praised her courage, humility and
great wisdom. She told of Miss
Grace leaving in the morning to go
on long trip over the county with
car packed with food, clothing,
books, magazines, as well as the
things needed for treatment. And
Miss Grace would know where
each piece of clothing, book or
food, was to CO." she said.
The women declared that the
weather never stopped Miss Grace.
When there was clinic to be at
tended or children to be treated,
she would be there She had a
great trust in God Her courage to
go on in spite of difficulties helped
her in her work" Mrs. Stockslagcr
declared.
Mrs. Ralph Weber in giving the
closing chapter praised her for the
work she had done Mrs. Weber
presented Miss Jones with bou-
quet of red roses as a gift from the
club and as token of the esteem
in which they held her.
1t is Miss Jones intention to do
some travelling when her retire
ment, takes effect. DR.. Arthur
Jones, county health officer, said
that in the future the work would
be done through the state physical
therapist who would make recon-
mendations while attending clinics
here, after which carrying out the
instructions would be up to the
health department.
Guests at the club luncheon were
Mrs. N. |. Broadwater, Mrs. Nancy
Helbig and seven members of the
Junior Womcn's club. Before adj
journing Mrs. E. l. Baumgartncr,
LIST district president, announced
the date of the LIST district meeting

Delphian Given Story
Of Fascinating Book
At Jackman Home

The London Delphian Society
met Monday night at the home of
Mrs. ID. II. Jackman, North Main
Street, and after a short business
meeting the president, Mrs. Byers
L. Adair presented Miss Harriet
Eyler, who most capably gave the
story, Southwest Corner" a con-
densation of the book by Mildred
Walker.
Southwest Corner" was relat-
ed as the touching story of one
Marcia Elder, age SO, an indomi-
table Verrnonter and her struggle
to live oct her days in her own
familiar way. In the tale, the writ
er reveals many true and tender
facts about the difficulties of all
elderly people, too often forgotten.
The reader will remember Marcia
long after you conclude the story,
as much for her serene and inde-
pendent spirit, as for the unex-
pected way in which she solves her
problems, the story-teller related.
The narration carried Marcia"
thru many vicissitudes from the
time she sells the great three
story old homestead for an Inn, re-
tanning the Southwest Corner"
for her quarters; her placing of an
advertisement which resulted in
her acquiring a companion, who
later influenced her to sell out"
and go with her, (the companion)
to her home in Dedham, Mass;
the romance and subsequent mar
riage of the companion and Mar
cia's "handyman"; and the final
return of Marcia and the handy
man after the companions death,
to Southwest Corner"
A truly fascinating and intrigu-
ing tale, recommended for inter-
esting reading was the comment
of the Delphians as they expressed
appreciation for Miss Eyler's abil-
ity as story-teller.
After the program, Mrs. Byers
Adair, poured at Mrs. Jackman's
artistic tea table centered with
candles and flowers.
Mrs. Paul Bangham was a guest
of the Delphians.
The next meeting will be at the
home of Mrs. Floyd Williams,
Washington Avenue, Monday, Feb
ruary 81, with Mrs. r. x. Shaw
in charge of the program. 8
