ROUNDANo AOOEF1III MARINA
From where 1 he i can see
the tops of some large trees
Last Thursday the were bare -
didn't seers to hat e a sign `,.,f a
bud. One week later the tiny
branches were being lost in the
millions of trot teaves - and the
sunny yellow -green is beautiful
Not all the trees will appear
yellow -green in their new coats.
If you watch them year after
year. sou I.t ill notice their earl%
coloring is practically the same
shades as their fall colors,
some red, red, others ora
other pale green - skis i, dif-
ferent
Take notice. legs. of that
lover tree ;rt the corner of
,ocith ar.,i H`igin Ate on S t:
corner N'ou will he surprised to
see that It Is a light rusty color,
gradualft grow 1trg deeper. until
it seems to turn to that purply
-black Atter that it takes a
green hi,,, k , olor and
gradually turns back to its
spring shade of light brown -
hut this Bile i1 is 0 dr:‘ rusty
color One of the most in-
teresting tree, 1 have ever wat-
ched
Atone time it was env anchor
post or lookkait tree. as I would
walk from W1:tlson St along
Bran nn Rd to South St. - I
knew it was South for sure
because Of that big tree. So you
can see how surprised I would
be when it changed colors so
quickly I wouldn't get lost on
that route.
I remember 'Ates George,
bless her, telling me• one time.
that it rias an American Beech
Nut tree -t hI h would never
dyer de%elop more than the
husks sitp_e it had no mate in
the vicinity Sterile''
Miss Georg -his beer 5,11 'con-
t _Ethic -'her who had
great faith and encouragement
for her hundreds of pupils over
the man% years before she
retired
Actually, • I don't think, she
wanted to retire since she felt
she still had so many who
needed hert think she was
right but there is little one can
do about I
. Miss George. I understand
has been quite ill but is home
once again recovering nicely.
She is too doggoned indepen-
• dent or stubborn to lie to a
hospital bed if she can help it.
Good luck, God speed :your
recovery. Altho' you may not
hear from them, you have a
GREAT many well wishers.
Since I am writing; from -my
hospital bed;, I have all these
cute little nurses wondering
what I am going- to say since I
said I had only them to talk
about.
There is a -great deal e can
say about these hard working
people - and I trust everyone
appreciates their hard work as
much as I.
There is just nothing too dif-
ficulL. .troublesome for the -m;
One newcomer (patient) con-
fided in me that he had been in
great pain since he had come in
and he had been taking pills up
to this time.
"Just mention it and they
will quickly check for you'', I
advised.
No, he didn't think he should
so loud mouth me dropped the
word to one of the head nurses.
At once, j heard them- asking
him why he hadn't mentioned
it and quickly he was made
comfortable. It is not necessary
to suffer when the nurses and
doctors are ready 'to help you.
Every once in a while I've
heard a big flurry of several
people all trying to be so quiet
that for a nite owl like me 'I
••know something is happening.
The other nite I slipped out
of 'bed and peaked out, and in
that short few minutes I found
that a patient had passed away,
been removed from the room,
the bed.- everything was
changed so fast that all 1 could
see was the deceased's per-
sonal property neatly leaving
the room. Scrubbing up was
also quickly and quietly done
and very few ever knew
anything had happened.
The next rush and scurry tur-
ned out to be about 3 or 4
needed at the Psychiatric
Hospital- Canteen, quite often,
and 1 do know there are many
who would be willing to help
out, but as many of 10- have
believed- they had 011 the help
they needed.
(Mrs Pat) Grace Patterson
tells me the REALLY 1)O
creed volunteer help with this
project. Funds from the canteen
are spent on the patients in
many ways. Television sets, fur-
niture, sun umbrellas, shuffle
boards. gifts at christmas and
patients added to our section of,, `other importtir►t occasions and
the hospital which was already
pretty well filled uT. It made
nee feel I .should give up my
special bed because I wasn't
really SICK.
But within a few hours
everything - was ..changed.
around, the hall was vacant
again and the nurses were ad-
' mining they'd had a work out!
1 recall one nite long, ago I was
given a bed in this same
hallway_itnd with a patient who
moaned or talked or cried most
of the nite. It gave nie a pretty
terrifying time until I found
next morning the talk had
come from what remained of
that great big hulk of a man
who had been a fun loving,
laughing, devil may care •but
was now reduced to a big body
without legs, his handsome
head moaning on his chest,
unable to see thro' his big thick
lenses. and ' unable ' to hear
unless you shouted real loud at
hint.
I1' you, got close enough that
he could see you or he
recognized your voice - you
were too choked up to answer
his
happy p_ vgreeting.Stan and
Sadie Crawford•were .very well
known before ie was stricken
but he has some well- known
sons in this town who are
carrying on in business and
their own vocations and I'.riri
sure their father, could he
know, now, would be very
proud of them._
Again,
hem.-
Again, being a nite owl, I like
to watch T.V. or read until the
11 p.m. news (at least). Since I
have to lie am forced to lie on
my back - unusual for me - I
have become known as a great
snorer. Now, I don't think it
anything to be proud of, but, I
hear I'm pretty good at it.
Anyone want -to challenge this?
gr -r -r -r-.
I have 'received some nice
cards, - one especially convin-
ces me you can find a card at
Andersons to fit ANY occasion,
.WOW. ALSO the flowers are
beautiful and since I love them
so, I am most grateful. But
please don't send any more cut
flowers - I am going to. have a
big yard with lots of room for
that flower you might think of
sending and you can be sure a
great many will also enjoy it.
I've been trying to watch my
. diet, buL;..the-feodTh so good I'm
having trouble. To make it
worse wouldn't you know Edna
O. would come along with some
of her great butter tarts • and
cookies. DARN her!
Some of the girls helped me
out but most of the nurses are
diet conscious and candy and
cookies are hard to give away.
When I'm not in traction I'm
reading or sleeping I swear I'm
.going to be 3 inches taller when
I get' out - or 3 inches wider!
Love Martha.
P.S. Again, Thank you ,for the
cards and flowers - how can I
ever repay you!
Here is a little note which
surprised me — Helpers are

helped to bring these people
back to a normal way of life - 2
hours is so little that each of us
can give to. such a great cause.

crossed their minds.. You can
