A Yes Vote for the Hospital
The Serial Levy for Pioneer Memorial Hospital that the
people of Morrow County will vote upon May 25 will raise
$22 .V0 a year for the next three years.
This Will cost 25c per $1000 true cash value of any prop-em-
owned. For a $10,000 house the cost will be $230 per
vrar or $5 0o for a $20,000 bouse. This amounts to l40th of
i-S of TCV-
The n-d of more money for the hospital has been ap
parent fdr many years. Now when costs are rising, some of
the equipment, new when the hospital opened, needs replac
ing and additional equipment if needed, the facts could be
ignored no longer.
Of the several alternative. It was decided that a three
year Serial levy would be the solution. While the amount is.
not pigamic, it will go a long ways to help the present fi
nancial problem.
There's no question of the need of the hospital and
what it means to the community. Or what a blow to the
community if there were no hospital or nursing home. It's
hard to imagine the hardships that would be endured if there
was no hospital or nursing home.
More use needs to be made of the hospital facilities.
1 another doctor would come to the area, more use would
automatically be made of the hospital.
Soil Stewardship Week May 16-23
Soil Stewardship Week, a nationwide observance which
places emphasis on man's obligation to God as stewards of
the soil water, and other related resources, will be observed
May 16 23,, according to Ken Turner, Chairman of the Mor
row County Soil and Water Conservation District
"The World and They That Dwell Therein", the theme
of this year's observance, underscores the responsibility which
each citizen has In fulfilling his or her role as caretaker of
the realm. Some 3,000 Districts throughout the nation along
with their State and National Associations are sponsoring
the event for the seventh consecutive year.
Nowhere is nature's true beauty and wealth more abun
dant than in America. Farmers, ranchers, city dwellers, and
all have worked together in establishing practices that have
enhanced the beauty of the land as well as protect and de
velop the soil and water resources for present and future
generations. Yet, all is not good. Our environment is in
danger. We have ravaged the land, eroded our soils, pollut
ed our water, and made our air repugnant In correcting this
situation. President Nixon recently said. The task of clean
ing up our environment calls for total involvement by all
our citizens," and that "it requires the help of every citizen."
Join your Morrow County Soil and Water Conservation Dis
trict in helping keep "America The Beautiful" Show your
concern by observing Soil Stewardship Week.
Morrow County Conservation Man of the Year will be
named at the annual Morrow County Wheat Growers spring
meeting May 24 at 7:30 p.m. at Lexington Grange.

Poppy Talk
This Thursday and Friday, you will be asked to wear a
red memorial poppy. Once each year American observe Poppy
Day which is a voluntary tribute to our dead and disabled
servicemen.
By accepting one of these poppies from a member of the
American Legion Auxiliary", you aid the living victims of the
past wars while honoring our dead. The poppy grew in the
battlefields of France and Belgium where American service
men have fallen during two World Wars. In the years fol
lowing the first World War the Poppy came to be recog
nized as nature's tribute to the war dead. It was soon adopt
ed as The American legion and Auxiliary's official memor
ial flower.
The popples you wear on Poppy Day have an even great
er significance than the flowers which bloomed on the bat
tlefields of Europe. These memorial poppies have been made
In hospitals and workshops where the suffering of war still
exist. The disabled veterans who make these flowers are
able to gain a dual benefit from their work the poppy pro
gram gives many men their only opportunity to support
themselves and their families; and It offers them a product
ive pastime with which to combat long hours in the hospi
tal wards.
Money contributed in exchange for poppies goes directly
for child welfare, disabled veterans, their families and th"
families of deceased servicemen.
It is a privilege to wear a poppy. Be proud you can.
