These »omen also preside the niceties that make confinement in the hospital and residency in the nursing home a little more enjoyable or comfortable for those involved. Saturday night thev are staging a Benefit Ball at the Eagles Hall, proceeds »ill go to purchase a coronary care unit at a cost of S3.500 Here is a social activity that »ill highlight the pre-Chnstmas activity in Nyssa, but »hich will also give our hospital a much-needed piece of equipment. The Hospital Auxiliary has also spear headed the Bkwd Drive held four times each year. Another worthwhile project that is most necessary and Nyssa folks have been generous in their giving over the years. We have manv such organizations in the community, and in many cases the same women sene on more than one. Church guilds have been busy »ith their bazaars, and each group uses their earnings to help those » ho are less fortunate What »ould we do without them? We depend so much on volunteer groups, and some of them are disappearing as more women enter the labor force or get too busy m other pursuits. We start looking for state and federal handouts, and at best only a handful take the time to get involved in community projects. We appreciate all the efforts all these people make, and hope that they get the support they are entitled to. Active support makes their efforts a little more rewarding, and it’s the least we can do.

Christmas or other contri­ butes usable heat in the home, lessening the need for other heat energies, which are in short supply." Hanes said. “Therefore, our customers should be advised that little or no oserall energy savings can be achieved by restricting their use of interior Christmas lighting."
