TYRRELL REGISTER

Students from the school are

desiring data hidden between the
covers of the many volumes to for

ground history are welcomed and
are helped by her, even though al
times the small office becomes al
times quite crowded.
Those of limited means and edu-
cation, in her office are treated
with the same interest and courtesy
as those of higher station. "Miss
Sadie" as everyone knows is al,
ways dependable.
Her off-hours are mostly spent
going gack to the office to issue
marriage license; or to issue a birth
certificate, to aid the person or
their way, and to keep from delay
ing or making long trip back. The
fruits of those off-hours of hers
the growing of flowers-ar
shared; cut-flowers for churches
civic organizations and to friends
with company-coming. Her church
each Sunday reflects her early
morning visit with fresh flora
tribute on the altar.
So unselfish is she, that she is
ever a goodwill ambassador fol

She has been honored by a Vote
of Confidence for many elections
which is caused by the thoughtful
attitude and ready willingness to
be of service. The Extra help which
she-at times-needs, are paid not
from the Golfers of the tax payers
but from her own.

director had worked at vari-
Gus places in the Midwest
and West Coast before she
came East.
And I have never seen a
place where everybody worked
together as they do here to
make the children happy"
she said.
When there's a party the
whole hospital pitches in.
Nurses show up. whether or
not they are on duty. Or
deries give a hand with the
transportation Of the chill
dren. The dietiticanS help
with the refreshments. Many
of the department heads stop
in and some of the doctors
drop by, too. ! mustn't forget
the volunteers, either. Or the
outside groups that send us
SO many wonderful things like
these toy ROSTERS.
"You don't feel sorry for
yourself If you have to work
on a holiday here. When you
help to make a child better
or happy, it's SO very reward
ing that you get much more
than you give"
