Elkhart Hospital Sponsors Benefit Ball Mrs. E. L. Fosbrink is the Syracuse ticket chairman for the fifth annual ball sponsored by the Elkhart General hospital auxiliary, to be held Saturday, 5 May, at Hotel Elkhart. Tickets, at $5 a couple, may be secured from Mrs. Fosbrink. In Elkhart they are on sale at Hotel Elkhart and at the snack bar at General hospital. The Johnny Kay and Harlan Hogan orchestras will play for continuous dancing in the hotel’s two ballrooms from 9 p. m. until 1. Dress for the event is optional, according to the ball chairman, Mrs. Wayne Lansche of Elkhart. “Many persons in the county area benefit from the hospital facilities, and undoubtedly many would like to contribute to the auxiliary’s activities,” says Mrs. Dave Johnson of Elkhart, general ticket chairman. In five years the auxiliary balls have raised over $12,000 for aid to the hospital. Last year’s ball enabled the auxiliary to fulfill a pledge to General hospital to bear the expense of a remodeling project which added 12 additional beds to the hospital facilities. “Safe cars must still be driven safely,” warns Indiana Traffic Safety Foundation. “Watch out for kids playing in the street.’ 1 106 If 106 cartons of furniture sound like a lot of furniture—it is.

A phantom traffic cop roamed the streets of Salisbury, Rhode Island, recently. A local police station was flooded with citizen waving tickets signed by the phantom officer. It seems a traffic policeman lost a book of tickets and the book’s finder had great fun filling out the tickets and distributing them. Adjust your driving to road conditions. Remember, traveling at a slower speed reduces the distance your car needs to come to a halt. Don't spring into a crash just because it’s Spring. Haste causes accidents, warns- Indiana Traffic Safety Foundation.
