You remember Della Wright.
She was quite a girl back there in
the 70's, Always one of the "in"
people, one of the first with all
the new fads,
Why, she was wearing
elephant pants when most
people thought they were
something bashful elephants
wore. She adopted granny
glasses almost before grannys
gave them up for horn-rims and
her mini-skirt was so mini she
had frost bite in the most
unmentionable places the first
cold day of winter. ,
Yes, she was one of the real
swingers, the one the other girls,
always looked to in envy when
their mothers protested giving
theM an advance on their
allowance for the latest gift to
the world from the fashion
designers.
But those were the good old
days. Of course it's all changed
now in 1985 and Della's a quiet
little house wife with three kids
whose brightest excitement is going
to the city now and then to shop
and see a good show. About the
most daring— thing she wears
anymore ,is;, when she gets into
her baby-dolls to go to bed at
night.
The other day though, the
kids got the old family album
out and started looking at the
pictures. Meg, the oldest is
nearly 13 now and the other girl
is pushing 11. Michael, the boy
is just eight, but he's not
important to this story because,
afterall, he's a boy, and the first
time the girls came upon some

Usually moving a computer

But Bjarne Christenson
expects little trouble when he

him off to play with the boy
next door. The poor kid
couldn't understand why their
faces were so red.
The girls were happily
absorbed in their past-time and
Della was working away in the
kitchen making lunch. But when
she heard two shrill laughs
bursting from the livingroom she
had to go in to see just what was
so funny.
The pair were just sitting
there on the sofa, trying to
balance the book on their knees
while they held their sides from
laughing too hard. Quietly she
crept up and looked over their
shoulder. There seemed to be
nothing to laugh at, only a
picture of she and George before
they were married. She was
standing ' so proud, impeccably
dressed in her bellbottoms, maxi
coat open, showing the top of
her ruffled, see-through blouse
and her long straight hair
flowing down, past her
steel-rimmed glasses and over her
shoulders.'
"What's so funny," she asked
finally.
"Boy Mom," Meg said, "you
sure. dressed funny in those
days." She turned another page
and there was a picture of
Della's mother in that
mid-forties attire which Della
had always thought was so
absolutely ungodly.
"Now these people," said
Meg, pulling up her bobby sox,
"really knew how to dress."'

The president of the Women's
Auxiliary to Clinton Public
Hospital, Mrs. R. U. MacLean
and 14 other members attended
the 'Spring Conference of
Hospital Auxiliaries Association

The April meeting of Branch

President Percy Brown in the

After opening ceremonies the
President expressed his
disappointment in the size of the
crowd. Very small for

-Three new members were
initiated, Jim Handy,`Mrs. Percy

Branch 140 welcomes any and

in this area wishes to join he is
very welcome. The initiation

workers the whole medical area
is being confronted with
problems just as business and
educational fields are being
confronted.
"If we are to survive, we have
to change our whole method of
treating sick people NOW," he
said, adding that "The efficient
system in hospitals has taken
precedent over human life. We
are living in a world which is
depersonalized—where the
individual is not thought to he
the primary consideration."
This is one of the major
protests of our young people
and Mr. Scott said , he was
inclined to agree with them.
The speaker further suggested
that it is imperative that 50 per
cent of the medical brains which
are now being used to keep sick
people 75 years of age and over
living for a few weeks or
months, reverse their program to

The only way to do it, said
