the council in support of a request

Mr. McMurray, the spokesman„ gave
several reasons for the .builaing• of
the new additien. The present hosPi-

Bawling On
The Green
(By Bill Hant)
Early last spring George Newman
had a crick in hie bank. George said
he got it when he 'helped his -wife
move the chesterfield during the
spring cleaning. The doctor told
George he ..had a touch of "arthritis
and needed some light exercise, and
to keep ,warm. Mrs. George saw to it
that George followed. out the ,doc's ads
vice. First, she put him at beating
the rugs, but that bothered his asth-
ilia. Next she gave him the job ;af
taking some old truck up to the at -
4.1c. The mere -thought of that made
the , pain worse. On the way up it
came onpretty had. It • caught him
right smack between the top of the
stairs and the attic door. That was
the end of the attic experition.
"'George," said; his better half, .
"you'll have to take up bowling." This
was something George had secretly
wanted to do for some 'time, but just
hadn't got around ter it. Wita this,
light form of exercise and the nice
warn a• sun, the kink Went away en-
tirely. George felt like a new person
when. the fall of the year came
around. And that's a tree story .
believe it or not.
