"The liberty enjoyed by the people of these States of worshiping Almighty God. agreeably to their consciences, is not only among the choicest of their blessings, but also of their right." Washington wrote in 1789. Washington was convinced that the political and material prosperity of our nation could not be sustained without morality and religion. "The consideration that human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connc ted will alwivs prompt me to promote the former by inculcating th? practice of the latter,” he said. “Os all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion." "Religion." said Warhington, "is as necessary to reason (Intelligence I as reason is to religion. The one cannot exist without the other.”

Main Street Gossip We will soon, on February 22. observe the birthday of Georgi Washington, the "Father of our Country." History has away of building legends around great men and Washington is no exception. For generations, children have learned the importance of being truthful through the example of George Washington and the cherry tree. History has recorded similar examples for adults. We are told that young Washington and his friends were athletes, expert horsemen, wrestlers, and that he was a leader. More particularly, we are told that he also set the example of good manners.

M S G Woman’s Club Prepares For Spring Holidays A regular meeting of the Women's Club was held February 6th in the Walkerton Community Building. Twenty members at 10.00 am. Mrs. George Pfeiffer. Chainnam of Social Service, kept the members busy making favors for the Valentine Day trays of the patients at the R.N. Nursing Home. The favors were little white candy dishes fastened to red hearts and then daintily decorated with bows and arrows, cupids, and more red hearts, some being surrounded with spring flowers. The ladies made 45 of these favors and they will be filled with candy representative of the Valentine season. Continuing on with the "Be Prepared" motto,the ladies also completed 46 colorful Easter backets decorated prettily with E istcr bunnies and Easter flowers. These will be filled with Easter candy and colored Easter eggs and delivered to the R.N. Nursing Home to be placed on the patients' Easter dinner trays. Mrs. Pfeiffer kept everyone busy at work until all of the favors and baskets were completed. The ladies then enjoyed a sandwu h lunch. Tables were prepared by the hostesses, Mrs. Frank Helfrich. Mrs. A. Hergenrother and Mrs. Albert Wohlgemuth. The luncheon place mats carried out the spring effect with a motif of heavenly blue morning glories. Delicious cake and coffee were also served. The formal business meeting of the Club was called to order by Mrs. Milton Gerry, ViceITcsident. and after the usual pledge of allegiance to Old Glory and the group singing "America, The Beautiful," the roll call was made. Each member responded with a cur.ent event comment which ranged from thoughts on air pollution to the visit of president Nixon in our state of Indiana.

Her letter, which not only thanked the Club for its help, also gave us some interesting facts about the Hospital. Linda explained the Hospital service takes care of 17 Northern Indiana counties and that the patients are assigned to their respective County section. Each section has its own Supervisor and Doctor. Linda is with the Elkhart section which at this time is taking care of 45 male patients and 55 female patients. Her section has 20 nurse's aids which serve the three work shifts. There are also 12 student nurses. It was a most infomiative letter and we hope to hear from Linda as she progreses in her work.
