THE EDITOR

Another Hospital

Dear Editor: Let’s make a Christmas like the first one. What will we use? Look at the ingredients of the first one. Begin with a young mother an<4 her newborn son. Add one dark night and some shepherds, not prominent citizens. Now take one angel, then a multitude of these heavenly beings. Touch softly with a heavenly light. Include a joyous song and nine lines of good news about the baby’s birth. Mix with a generous faith that God is at work and He chose to come not by force for He could have come as a superman, but in love and humility. God does not force His love or ideas on anyone. In a little town in eastern lowa called Dyersville (population 3300) proved by love of their community they could build a 69 bed hospital without federal or state funds. They had three doctors who left because they had no hospital to work in. A group of young volunteers got together and through their efforts and in a radius of 15 miles of Dyersville raised $900,000. Farmers contributed machinery, produce, antiques and what have you. Women’s groups held bazaars. Every one contributed in his own way. This ail started in 1964. In a few weeks by farmers and townspeople working together to speed construction they will open their new hospital. They had a need and I imagine lets of prayers and with Chrisman love they fulfilled that need. That is God at work in a community spirit. That will be a well operated hospital. Let’s go new to the other side of the coin. Portland, Ind., has a county hospital. In three years the WSCS at her home. Devotions were given by Mrs. G. W. Murphy and the program by Mrs. John Buhrt. Refreshments were served by the hostess to the nine present SMM Meets At Brethren Church The SMM met Wednesday evening at the Brethren church with Christine Welborn serving as hostess and also as leader. The Bible study was given by Judy Hinks. Plans were made for a Saint Valentine party to be held at the February meeting. Refreshments were served by the hostess. PARENTS HOST SATURDAY SUPPER FOR SON « Mr. and Mrs. Richard Allen entertained at supper with the traditional cake and ice cream in honor of the birthday of their son, Steve, Saturday.

Guests were Robert Allen, Kay and Kip, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Max Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Hoffer, Terri, Marla, and Tammie, Terry Dausman, and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Miller, Paul and Lori of Warsaw. MYF Has Part In Service Sunday At United Methodist Church Members of the MYF participated in the church service Sunday morning at the United Methodist church. Ross Deatsman read the responsive reading and the group gave a choral reading. The benediction was given by Jerry Leiter. The group also met in the evening.

operating expenses have jumped from $228,635 in 1965 to $894,518 in 1967. The state board of accounts criticised them for poorly kept accounts, many parties for staff members and workers’ trips and other irregularities. You see, Mr. Editor, there is no community spirit. A few questions about our own local situation. It is to be noted that our last election we had a partial slate of candidates that we voters could vote for. It cost us 65 cents per vote. In Allen county with a full slate it cost them about 5 cents. Why? And why couldn’t we if there is such a need for another hospital have had it on the ballot and settled it in a community way instead of having it forced upon us? And why when the petitions were out pro and con only the pros were made known?" Why only a part of the figures if we are unbiased? And when Murphy hospital had open house wasn’t it ever made known how many people attended? And why is Mrs: Murphy given only thirty days or a tax free hospital will be built? If that can happen, why can’t it happen to any other business in Warsaw? Was the gun cocked, primed and ready to be fired soon after election. Now as we make Christmas, as we hang the lights and tinsel and sing the old carols, let us remember that God is at work and promises peace on earth, but there is no peace without righteousness. Sincerely, Ronald L. Spice R 4, Box 268 son, Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Roberts and Mr. and Mrs. Woodie Howard. MRS.
