Hampson Ellensburg, Wash., July 11. IIP) "We are a non-sectarian. self-governing and self-supporting group of young and middle- aged people living beyond our life spans as predicted by our various physicians." That explains the "borrowed- timers of Ellensburg." This strange organization be gan In 19.'I8. Every one of its members has been marked for early death by an accredited doctor. Not one has reached the obituary column yet. In 1933 Jesse W. Green's wife, Nancy, was told by her physician she could not live out the year. She suffered from a heart ailment In 1936, s'till alive, she one day heard that a family friend, Civil Engineer Guyer T. Thomas of Yakima, Wash., had been con ceded only two more weeks of Ufa. Milk In Plenty Thomas could consume only milk and cream. On Green's Ellensburg ranch there were cows. The Greens brought Thomas to the ranch. He im proved, outlasted his two weeks and lived to become the current president of the Borrowed Timers. Lucille Bolding, an Invalid, visited the dairy ranch occa sionally. On one such visit she became violently ill and was put to bed. During her convales cence Thomas and the Greens learned that arthritis had been complicated by an emergency operation on a kitchen table. She had been given only a few days to live and had outlived them. Her story, roughly paralleling those of Thomas and Mrs. Green, prompted them to organize the Borrowed-Timers. She became member No. 1. A girl with a weak heart suf fered two paralytic strokes. The physicians shook their heads and said she couldn't last out the month. She now Is a borrowed- timer. Organisation Grows A woman suffered third de- physician, before a candidate can become eligible. This is to: "1 Soften the blow of a phy sician's tragic words. 2 To of fer encouragement to the newly doomed. 3 To create a desire to live In the condemned and in cite a mental and physical effort to remain among the living." The three original Borrowed Timers found the hardest ob stacle to overcome, both for themselves and the additions to their organization, was a peri odic lagging of spirits and a ten dency to give up." Pray in PrWaia They turned to prayer In prl vate. "None of us," wrote one mem ber of the organization which lives a one-for-all-and-all-for-one life on the Green ranch, "are emotionally religious and there is no group worship." During the early days of the Borrowed-Timers. when illness of the "downs" consumed more money than the efforts of the "ups" could bring in. Thomas designated a "prayer reminder." On it was a cross in luminous paint, visible in the dark. The group decided to trv to finance itself by sale of re minders. A benevolent banker who smilingly pointed out that he had the world s three best reasons not to loan them money "an uncertain business, no security, and death at your elbows" let them have $100. Now 400 wholesalers and 3.000 retailers In the United States and Canada handle them. DREADED PARALYSIS REACHES PENDLETON Pendleton, Ore., July 11.
