Counted Out by Physicians,
Invalids Organize Club and
Live on "Borrowed Time"
By Fred E. 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.
