Georgia Hill People Ignore Plea
Of Doctor for Payment of Bills
Cumming, Ga., May 5 (U.R)
Folk in the north Georgia hills
were sorry to hear that old Doc
Bramlett was sick today, but
they paid little heed to his plea
for money to pay his own med
ical expenses.
They figured the Doc was just
up to his old bill-collecting
tricks.
To Undergo Surgery
Dr. R. H. Bramlett, a 65-year-
old country doctor who started
out with a horse and buggy in
1911. called upon his patients to
pay up what they owed him when
he learned he would nave to un
dergo an expensive operation.
"I am now uu against a seri
ous problem," the doctor told
them in a front-page advertise
ment In the Forsyth County
News. "I have been in the hos
pital three weeks and must un
dergo a very serious operation
which I may not survive. I am
now asking for aid, like you
have asked me thousands of
times."
But, said Dr. Bramlett, who Is
now recovering In Atlanta from
surgery performed Wednesday,
the ad brought "very little re
sponse." "The only ones who paid any
thing would have paid anyway,
without me running the ad," he
said.
No Comment Ciuiad
J. L. Reeves, associate editor
of the country newspaper, said
the ad hadn't even caused any
comment In this rugged moun
tain town.
"Everybody likes Dr. Bram
lett and Is sorry that he's sick,"
Reeves said. "But we don't pay
any attention to those ads of
his.
"He puts an ad like that In the
paper Just about every year say
ing he can't buy any more medi
cine until people pay up or some
thing like that. That's the way
he tries to collect his bills."
Skunk Catching Offer
I Brings Few Takers
' Paris. Ont., May 5 U.R) The
town council had few takers to
day on its bounty offer to any
body helping to rid Paris of a
siege by skunks. The townspeo
ple were shy about trying to
catch the pungent little animals
that have invaded the commun
ity by the hundreds.
Even with the going price of
35-cents for a skunk pelt, they
pointed out, the bounty of "50
cents a head, dead or alive''
would scarcely cover the clean
ing bill.
Town councillor Aian dam
son, who's already had one los
ing encounter wan xne wooasy
instruders, beckoned their num
ber at some 300.

Doukhobor homes destroyed In

Stork Wins Race on
Lonely Prairie Road
Casper, Wyo., May 5 (U.R)
A Casper housewife said today
the premature birth of her third
child on a lonely prairie road
"took only a minute and then
we drove on." t
The four pound, 13-ounce boy
was born to Mrs. Ed Robertson.
25, yesterday as her husband
drove over a snow-obscured
road in a desperate race against
time.
But the stork won the race

halfway between their Midwest,
Wyo., home and Casper.
Attendants at the Casper hos
pital reported the mother was
"doing well."
Cash Prizes Offered For Quadruplet Names
SleeDV Eve. Minn., May
(U.R) The tiny Seifert quadrup
lets, named simply "A," "B,"
"C," and "D," were getting
along "Just fine" today while
their father struggled to outfit
them with better names.
The three girls and one boy,
born Wednesday to Mrs. Arthur
Seifert, 37, were under constant
watch in their incubator at the
Sleepy Eye hospital.
Hospital officials said the
foursome had not been weighed
since birth because they were
too delicate to remove from the
incubator.
"But they're getting along
just fine," a nurse said.
Seifert, 43, who already had
six children before the quads ar
rived, announced after the births
that he just couldn't think of
four more names.
