Wood Shed Burns
Tuesday At Baty
Home, Highlands
The Highlands Volunteer Fire
Department answered a call
Tuesday morning at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John William
Baty.
Mrs. Baty said she looked out
of the window about 9 o'clock
and she taw the root of her
woodshed caving In. She Imme
diately drove to the nearest
neighbor and called to them to
call the department and (he
vent back home and began to
throw water on a nearby tool
shed to save It.
Fire Chief Carlton Cleveland
estimated the damage at $450
to the wood shed and the tool
shed, which was damaged some.
The wood shed was a total loss.
The tire alarm sounded at
9:05 and six minutes later the
men and truck were two milea
away at the fire squirting
water. Chlet Cleveland said
everything worked as smooth as
a drill. There was a lake about
300 feet away in which the men
put a portable pump.
The Baty house, only 75 feet
away, was not damaged. About
the time the fire was out the
wind changed. Had this hap
pened sooner the house prob
ably would have been damaged
too, the chief said.

was elected to fill the recently
! created position of business
, manager. In the latter position
?he and his committee will be
responsible for all pending and j
future accounts with hospital
patients.
S. C. Russell, chairman, made
informal reports covering hos
pital activities as follows: On
April 15 the hospital qualified
for membership in the Amer
ican Hospital Association by the ,
employment of an additional !
registered nurse and other per
sonnel; during June the Wom
en's Auxiliary opened Its ex
change and obligated the prof
its to the purchase of hospital
equipment and supplies. The
financial drive conducted during
July and August was successful
with many ladies of the aux
iliary talcing an active part;
although the financial report
indicated a healthy Increase In
hospital income far the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1954, com
pared with 1953, it was offset
to a considerable extent by
the salaries of increased per
sonnel needed to qualify for
membership in the American
Hospital Association.
Reports were made during
the meeting concerning com
ment expressed by both local
and summer residents about the
facilities offered by the hos
pital which compared favorably
with larger hospitals, even in
cluding treatment received by a
recent patient In a large hos
pital in New York City. All
trustees and directors serve
without remuneration of any
kind and are making every ef
fort to meet the unbalanced
situation during the heavy sum
mer months and the light
winter months.
