Hospital Plans
Children S Unit

The first unit Of Suburban
Hospital to be devoted entirely
to the treatment of children will
be opened early in the fall, Mrs,
Amelia Many Carter, admins
traitor, said today.
Although we have always
maintained a four-bed pediat-
rio ward" Mrs. Carter said, I'VE
long ago recognized the need for
whole pediatric unit. Only lack
of space has prevented its in
stallation.
Space for the 20-bed section
will become available in our
present hospital building as soon
as medical and surgical beds are
moved to the new wing which is
scheduled to open early in the
fall"
Nursery Planned
Other improvements and ex-
tensive renovation in Subur-
bans present 125-bed building
are planned as soon as the new
four-story. 75-bed wing. financed
by popular subscription and Hill
Burton funds, is ready for occu-
Ipancy.
A new nursery will be con-
Istructed. The delivery room
suite will be enlarged. The emer-
gency room. X-ray department
land laboratory will have double
their present space. A waiting
room for emergency room and
X-ray patients is planned.
The hospital kitchen also will
be expanded and modernized to
meet demands of the occupants
of rs new beds in the wing.
S4S8,OOO Donated
When all improvements are
completed, Suburban Hospital
will have 20 pediatirc beds, so
medical beds, 100 surgical beds.
80 maternity beds and 40 bas-
isinettes.
Residents. doctors and bust
ness firms in Montgomery
County have contributed $488.-
900 toward the expansion prof.
Iect. Another $4,000 is needed
for its completion. The hospital
currently is appealing for con-
Itributions to complete the build
ing fund.
The hospitals master plan
calls for two additional four

All the other stands, managed by the
fire department with volunteers and con-
sequently no liabilities, showed total assets
of $463.50. This included the paddle wheel,
the Malcolm Parks attraction and others.
The raffles and other attractions, neces-
sary to bring the crowd to Caldwell each
night, showed liabilities of $4,000 and only
$607.O0 in assets. This included $4,000 to the
East Liverpool drill team; $4,000 to the
Caldwell band; $4,000 for the talent show;
$243.00 for winners, etc. in the parade and
$4,000 in prizes. This then showed loss of

young Brill.
All of this took place, while the local
investigating officials and others, were at
the lower end of the flooded creek
Although a number of motorists had
gathered at the scene of the drowning when
the mother and Mr.. Donley were saved, the
rescue work went on without their help and
could be attributed solely to the four men
toned above.
Apparently those who had gathered on
do that and nothing more for they urged
Brill and the other three not to gamble with
their lives
There was no human chain method used
in the saving of the two Byesville residents,
other than that formed by the four men who
were secured to each other and the sign post
by rope.
The background of story such as this
clearly demonstrates that to a few people
the saving of life is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of the risk involved.
To Others it means standing on the side
lines only, cheering the efforts of the
undaunted few with moral support and
nothing else.
But Evan Brill, Loren Christman, Neil
Weisend and Lucias Block will always carry
with them the memory of their unselfish
efforts and the reward which can only be
theirs-that of saving two human lives
during dark night of suspense, tragedy and
the uncertaint of how many other lives the
swirling waters Of Duck Creek would claim
before it once again became the calm and
quiet creek channel.

U11heraIded HerOism

When Mrs. Janice Burnworth and
Charles A. Donley, both of Byesville, were
saved from the watery grave last Saturday
night which claimed the life of her two
year-old son, Gary Burnworth, following a
flash flood, the rescue operations can be
credited solely to the efforts of two young
men and two older residents of Woodsfield.
Evan Brill II, of Quaker City route,
and Loren Christman, 16, of Summerfield
route, were the first two on the scene of the
tragedy, attracted by the cries of the mother
for help.
Brill and Christman quickly went to
secure more help and bumped into Neil
Weisend, formerly of Caldwell and Lucias
Block, both of Woodsfield.
Block had rope in the trunk of his car
and with this as their only piece of life
saving equipment, the boys went to work.
They tied themselves together with the
rope and then fastened one end securely to
the sign post at the junction of state routes
78 and 260 where the tragedy occurred.
The two young men and their two older
companions worked their way through the
swirling waters sign post to sign post,
across the bottom land until they reached
the frantic mother.
Evan Brill then brought her to safety,
returning in the same manner of sign post
to sign post, for Charles Donley, who was
on the opposite side of the creek Brill swan
across the creek to reach Donley and, in a
short time-but probably more like hours
to the victims-he was brought to safety.
Most of the time during the rescue work,
the water was up to the shoulders or chin of

The third annual Caldwell Firemen's
festival is now history and all those inter-
ested know that the volunteer firemen
realized the sum of 81 012.78 for their efforts
during the four days and nights of the splen-
did affair.
Members of the fire department have
always maintained that since the success or
failure of such venture depends solely on
the public, the people in turn should know
exactly where the money went, what it was
spent for and how much profit was realized.
After all, it was their money and they
should have a financial breakdown, accord
ing to the fire department.
There are so many public homecomings
and other gatherings in the county, where
the cloak of secrecy is so tight around such
an affair after it is over that the people can
only guess how much was made and where
the money went.
Not SO with the fire department. They
are anxious for a financial statement to be
published for each and every one who
attended the festival played a small part
in its success.
Robert Ralston has prepared the follow
ing breakdown, which shows how much
each stand or concession took in, the Habill-
ties and what was left over.
At the "eats" stand, the assets or the
amount of money taken in totaled $608.00.
The food ETC., cost $383.09 or considered
liabilities. This left profit of $225.T.
The game of chance stand took in 1888. .93

Congress AdjOurnS

On July q, as the hands of
the clock approached midnight,
the oath Congress adjourned.
For days. marathon sessions
starting early in the morning and
continuing into the evening
hours were required to finish
the mass of work which neces-
STATED the attention of the Con-
greSs. Tempers became frayed
although amity prevailed as the
final curtain was rung down on
Friday night.
1t became plain that when the
leadership wished to proceed
with all possible speed, the pace
could be breath-taking. Scores
of bills and conference reports
were brought to the floor for
action. In fact, at some points,
the debates ran ahead Of the
printer who could not supply the
members with explanatory re-
ports on the bills under con-
sideration. 1t fell, then, to the
members of the legislative COM
mittees sponsoring particular
bills to explain what was being
proposed. Frankly, this is not
the best way to legislate and we
can all be thankful that it occurs
only in the closing hours of a
session of Congress.

The story of Melvin H. Bak-

system, known to us as "The

Baker was born in the hill
country of Eastern Tennessee.
There was nothing exceptional
about his boyhood, except that
he was required to do a mans
work in helping around his
parents tenant farm. Although
his chums dropped out of
school at early ages, it is signi-
ficant that young Baker stuck
to his studies while doing full
days work after school. In this
he was encouraged by his par
ents.

If you're using flash to light
your indoor snapshots, try to have
all the members of your group
at approximately the same dis
lance from the camera. Other
wise, you'll have uneven lighting
on your subjects, making those
in the foreground appear too light
and anyone in the background
much too dark.
Any festive occasion just seems
to beg for color finland the
newest type is snapshooter's de-
light. 1t may be used in daylight
or with flash aDithout the addition
of filters or blue flash bulbs to
compensate for the different light.
Imagine how wonderful it is to
have one color film that can be
used anywhere-indoors or out,
with flash or without!
No doubt about it, a party lends
a FLIP to daily living. Why not
capture the fun on film so you
can have a permanent memento
of "the good time that was had
by all"? John Van Guilder

KEEP YOUR GROUP SHOTS SMALL, INFORMAL

In taking group shots, there are
a few points to keep in mind.
First of all, don't try to shoot too
large a group at one time. You'll
find ttDo pictures are really better
than one-if more than half a
dozen people are going to COM
pose a single unit for your view
finder.
Next, be sure your subjects
have center of interest so that
you don't end up with the kind
of stiff-necked, glassy-eyed COM
position popular in G randmother's
album. Just keep your camera
trained on the little conversa-
tional groups that form naturally
several people sharing joke,
three or four guests admiring the
table decorations, a happy couple
or two having a hard time de-
Gliding what to select at the groan-
ing buffet board. Natural group
ings like these are your best in
Surance of good snapshots be-
cause the subjects are less likely
to be self-conscious or even aware
of the picture taking in progress.
