Mr. and Mrs. Donald Law ford f Bangor, Main« ar traveling
by bus to North Bend, Oregon where he will b«- > mployed.
Last Tuesday, May 8, they made a stop at Burley, Idaho
where little Fabian was born.
They resumed their journey
the next day, but only as far as Caldwell, where they stopped
in a motel to allow mother and baby to recup« rate. Their
money ran out and they again resumed their journey Tuesday,
but got only as far as Nyssa when they again left th«' bus be­
cause the baby was sick.
Bus depot employees in Nyssa called Rev Hob Hutchinson,
president of th,' Nyssa Ministerial Asso< lation, who got things
rolling.
Th« baby was taken to a local physician, who pre­
scribed a formula that is given to newborn babies at Malheur
Memorial Hospital.
Th«' hospital in turn gave the couple
enough formula to last them until they get to North Bend.
Th« Ministerial Association provided a room at the Arrow­
head Motel for the night and made arrangements for meals.
By coincidence, Chief of Police Alvin Allen was conferring
with Ron B. McGowan, area representative of The Salvation
Army, Bob Wilson, Paul Penrod and Don Young. They im­
mediately decided to share expenses equally with the mini­
sterial group to help the young couple.
As this is written baby and mother are doing fine and are
on their way to their destination, thanks to several people.
Mrs. Lawford said also that she is searching for her father,
Richard Thomas Lee Decarlo, whom she has not seen for
several years and who is supposed to be somewhere in the
western states.
