The cushions and pads were so well made and so good looking we know they will elicit many compliments. There is another side we have heard about. The boys are so appreciative of the fact that some one cares if they are comfortable. Many aire far from home lonesome, and when such thoughtfulness is shown them they always ask where it comes from. So the people of Morrow county are gatting a fine reputation at McCaw since we have shown such an interest in the patients.

Enough filling was u-ed so they would stay that thickness. Enough material was donated to cover dx cushions and one long pad. The remainder of the mater irl was poirchassd in local stores and part of your donation was used in buying it- Our thanks to all who donated material and filling. We might be asked later on in the year to supply more pillows, or pads and I would feel embar rassed if I had to report it would be impossible because there were no more feathers left in Morrow pounty. If anyone does have feath ers they would give please list them with Miss Florence Bergstrom so if we should need them we could call for them.

I believe our county offi cials would be willing to take these things down when they make their trips into that part of the county. But let us be sure the magazines and books are such that boys and men would be interested in them -- Frank W. Turner was a business visitor in Walla Walla Tuesday evening.
