Paul said to Mr. Ed:
THINK!
Do we really take time to think when we violate the
aimpleat rules of safety? Some ot the moat common rulea of
safety we violate are:
1. Jay walking. If you do not have
time to walk acrou tbc atreet, wait
(or the vehicle to paaa.
2. Do we um courteiy in letting
the motorist crow at an interaectlon or
get out of a tough parking apotT
3. Do we drive cautiously when
children are playing near the street
or highway?
4. Do we slow down to a safe speed
when the boy or girl is sighted riding
a bicycle?
3. Are we "show-offs" when we
get behind the wheel of a nice shiny
automobile that is more deadly than a
pistol It not used in moderation?
There have been too many young people In our county
injured or killed because we didn't think. We love our children
more than ourselves. Plcaae "wear a thinking cap" and a
"light shoe" when you are driving. The boyi and girli of
Watauga County have a great future ahead If given a chance
to live.
Have you prayed for the wonderful itaff at our hospital?
They get paid ao little and give so much in return. How
helpless we would be without a surgeon like Dr. Lawrence
Owsley, doctors like Dr. J. B. Hagaman, Sr., Dr. J. B. Hagaman,
Jr., Dr. Len Hagaman, Dr. William H. Smith. Dr. H. M. Cooke,
Dr. Hadley Wilson. Dr. Charles Davant, Jr., Dr. R. H. Harmon,
Dr. Ray Lawrence, Dr. Jack Lawrence, Dr. Gale Bare. Dr. E. T.
Glena, Dr. W. M. Matheson, Dr. Gene Reese, and Mrs. Jack
Grace, business manager of Watauga Hospital!
For fear I will leave out someone on the nurses' list, I will
say all nurses, dieticians, nurses' aids, orderlies, and general
staff.
If your life la in the balance, they have patience, love, skill,
and super-human strength.
Too many of ua forget that "while it la awfully nice to be
important, it's more important to be nice."
"Slow down and live—and arrive alive."
THINK!
