APPRECIATES KINDNESSES
Some weeks ago Miss Annie Hynd
suffered injuries from a fall which
have kept her confined at home.
Friends have been thoughtful of
her and her suffering has been
greatly alleviated by the kindness.
Among groups which have brought
cheer to her are the young people's
choruses from the Methodist church
and the Christian church which
have both called and sung for her
at her home. While she thanked the
groups she feels that some public
recognition should be given the
young people for the fine work
they are doing in bringing cheer
to shut-ins.
