The Tryon High boys basket- ball team is presently 16-1 and plays NCSD tonight at Tryon. The Tigers don’t have a “big” man, but do have excellent team balance and are willing to give up the ball so someone else can score.

THE VISITING NURSE IS APPRECIATED Since the Annual Drive for contributions to the Visiting Nurse Association is now in progress, it should be noted that the service rendered by the VN, not only meets the highest professional standards for physi cal care, but also, recognizes the need for personal interest, concern and understanding. A few statements made by patients over recent years express their appreciation for the personal interest the VN had in them as individuals. “The VN means all the world to me.” “I put confidence in the VN to do the right thing.” “I look forward to the VN’s coming. I learned to love her more as time rolled on. She was faithful and loyal to her job.” “She (the VN) was polite to me, wore a smile, and turned up with a real determination to cheer me up. I appreciate the warm heart and love she had for me.” Such tributes do not come unearned. Mrs. Robert Whitmire, our head VN for many years, has been known to go through the worst weather to minister to a patient who needed her. She says, “You just can’t be detached. If you love a patient you feel as if you’ve lost one of the family when she dies.” If you would like to see this type of service continued in this area, we hope you will send your tax deductible contribution to, The Visiting Nurse Association, Box 1501, Tryon, N.
