By OPAL CROCKETT THERE'S a wonder out Waldemere way. He washes dishes. He wants it that way. “Let me,” says the big man to the wife he accuses of “working too hard.” : Mrs. Mills admitted: her band was prodded sink-ward by crutches he's been using since a fall while trying to build their house,

more than eight vears. The men took over the job July 22 after their friend “Doc” fell from a scaffold.

While, Mr. Mills lay for 14 weeks in Methodist Hospital with a broken left leg, Allison buddies, Ralph Smith, Percy Brown and Mike Hurt, and helpers, built his house.

But he managed some laughs in Ward B-28. It just happened that he was confined to the same space where he underwent an operation a few years ago. In the evenings after the supper dishes are done, “Doc” and his wife pull up rockers side by gide, at the fire, and add up their blessings. “We got friends, we don't owe a cent, we have that new house. we've wanted so long, and we're together”
